BestOffice 13-Gallon Touchless Trash Can — White Automatic Sensor Lid, Silent Motor

BestOffice 13-gallon automatic trash can is a touchless, battery-powered kitchen bin that opens with an infrared sensor for hands-free waste disposal.

This sleek white BestOffice trash can pairs modern styling with practical features to keep kitchens, offices, and bathrooms cleaner and more convenient. Built from waterproof, anti-scratch polypropylene and shaped with a low-profile oval and sloping lid, it accepts standard 13-gallon bags and hides waste neatly while minimizing odors. The lid operates silently via an infrared sensor or manual controls, and it runs on four C batteries (not included) for long-lasting, cordless use.

How does the automatic sensor work and where should I stand?

The infrared sensor detects movement up to about 6 inches above the control panel and triggers the lid to open automatically, enabling true hands-free disposal. The sensor is calibrated for home use to avoid accidental openings while still responding quickly when you need it.

• Motion activation range: approximately 6 inches above the sensor.
• Silent motor for minimal kitchen noise during operation.
• Manual OPEN/CLOSE buttons on the control panel for direct control.
• Best placement: flat, stable surface with good ventilation around the can.

What kind of maintenance and cleaning does the bin need?

The PP plastic exterior wipes clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid soaking the electronics. Keeping the lid closed when not in use reduces lingering odors, and occasional wiping inside the rim will prevent residue buildup.

• Wipe exterior with a dry or damp cloth—no submersion.
• Replace standard 13-gallon liners to fit snugly under the rim.
• Remove and dry the lid if spills occur; ensure electronics stay dry.
• Store in a cool, ventilated area to protect battery compartment and sensor.

What are the power requirements and expected battery life?

The unit runs on four C-cell batteries (not included) and is engineered for extended operation, supporting tens of thousands of openings on quality alkaline cells. For reliable performance, install batteries with correct polarity and switch the can ON before first use.

• Power: 4 × C batteries (alkaline recommended).
• Expected openings: over 40,000 cycles with alkaline cells.
• Battery compartment is easy to access for quick replacement.
• Keep the can in a ventilated, dry spot to preserve electronics and battery life.

Will this fit in my space and what bag size should I use?
