Modern technologies are developing rapidly, and in our life there are things that we could not think of a couple of years ago. Robot vacuum cleaners, smart refrigerators and other high-tech assistants are already firmly entrenched in our lives. As for the "smart" trash buckets, they are significantly different from their simple predecessors and can significantly simplify our lives.
Main characteristics
A sensory bucket for the kitchen can be an excellent replacement for buckets with a pedal for opening. An automatic bucket will serve for a long time, while not requiring special care. The model with the opening sensor does not get so dirty so quickly, because you do not touch it with your hands, which happens with ordinary buckets. Particularly well, the option with an opening lid is suitable for families with a child, as you will not come into contact with the surface of the bucket where microbes may be located.
The sensor is triggered at a distance of about 15 mm.
Basically, these models operate on batteries, which will need to be periodically replaced. However, you can find a model that works on a network or battery. It is also important to monitor the state of the sensor, on which the operation of the entire structure depends. If the sensor is dirty, then its functionality will decrease, and as a result, this may lead to damage to the product.
Such buckets have several operating modes, the main of which are:
- rest mode - the bucket just stands with the lid closed;
- operating mode - the container opens for a short period of time;
- long-term use - This mode is necessary when something is done over a bucket, for example, peeling potatoes.
