Swan Retro 45L Square Sensor Bin Motion Activated Lid Colour Coated Iron Automatic Kitchen Waste Bin Blue

• Durable colour-coated iron body: Robust metal construction with a retro blue finish and matching lid, designed for everyday household waste disposal.
• 45L capacity: Generous internal capacity reduces the frequency of emptying and is suitable for family kitchens, utility rooms and offices.
• Hands-free infrared sensor: The lid automatically opens when movement is detected approximately 5–15cm in front of the sensor, providing convenient touch-free disposal.
• Secure liner retaining ring: Integrated retaining ring keeps the bin liner neatly positioned around the rim for easier bag changes and a cleaner appearance.

The Swan Retro 45L Square Sensor Bin combines a vintage-inspired kitchen design with convenient automatic waste disposal. Finished in blue with a colour-coated iron body and matching cover, this large-capacity kitchen bin is designed for everyday household waste while providing a practical hands-free opening mechanism.

With a 45-litre capacity, the bin provides ample room for general household waste and can help reduce the frequency of emptying compared with smaller kitchen bins. Its generous capacity makes it particularly suitable for family kitchens, larger households, utility rooms and office environments.

The integrated infrared motion sensor provides touch-free operation. The sensor activates when an object or hand approaches approximately 5–15cm in front of the bin, automatically opening the lid for waste disposal. The lid then closes automatically after use, helping keep contact with the bin to a minimum.

The bin features a colour-coated iron body designed to provide a durable, easy-to-maintain exterior. The blue retro finish is part of Swan’s Retro range and is designed to complement coordinating Swan kitchen appliances and accessories.

A built-in liner retaining ring holds the top of the bin bag securely around the rim. This helps prevent the liner from slipping into the bin during use and makes replacing a full bag more straightforward. The discreet battery compartment is located within the lid, with an on/off switch allowing the sensor function to be disabled when required.

The sensor system operates using four AA batteries, which are not included. The battery-powered design means there is no mains power cable to position around the kitchen, allowing the bin to be placed wherever it is most convenient.

The Swan Retro Sensor Bin has a square/rectangular footprint intended to make practical use of available floor space. Published specifications give the product dimensions at approximately 675mm high × 330mm wide × 250mm deep, although retailer measurements vary slightly depending on how the dimensions are taken.

For maintenance, Swan recommends regularly cleaning the bin with a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cloth, followed by thorough drying. The manufacturer’s instructions specifically advise avoiding a wet cloth around the sensor panel and keeping the bin away from excessive heat, direct sunlight and areas where cooking splashes may reach it.
