The beauty of the sensor container: design, style and practicality
The world of technology seems to travel faster and faster. In the last decade, we have seen the rise of mobile phones, the Internet, and a host of other devices, gadgets, and forms of communication.
But one area where all this sci-fi tech wouldn’t be expected to infiltrate is the kitchen and, in particular, the humble kitchen cube.
However, even the domestic kitchen container has been reformed in the 21st century under the guise of a sensor container.
Sensor containers
These containers aren’t just sleek gadgets, either. They make them look modern and designer, but there is practicality behind them, as they are an ingenious solution to a common problem:
Handling containers is a way of spreading germs in our kitchen, so every time you throw something into the container you should wash your hands well, but do you know, and if so, do you know how annoying it can be to have to keep running to the sink? ? you are preparing a dinner.
There are flip-top and pedal-type compartments that solve this problem, but flip-top lids have a problem that the lid gets dirty very quickly, while pedal compartments can be awkward to use.
Sensor bins, as the name suggests, detect when you approach with a handful of debris. The container lid, controlled by a battery-powered motor, lifts the lid and then closes it after you’ve thrown the trash away and left. This means that you never have to touch the container and the container lid will stay clean.
Sensor containers are not cumbersome either. Most sensor containers lift the lid quietly, quickly and effortlessly, and are so easy to use, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them.
They are also stylish, many of them are made from a good quality steel that is easy to clean and looks modern and contemporary and will suit any kitchen from rustic to modern.
They’re also inexpensive, many sensor bins can be purchased relatively cheaply, especially from online trash bin vendors, and they come in a variety of sizes, up to 50 liters, large enough even for a commercial kitchen.
