EKO EcoSmart 80L Touchless Kitchen Trash Can — Brushed Stainless, Motion Sensor & Soft-Close Lid

The EKO EcoSmart 80L touchless trash can is a high-capacity, motion-sensor kitchen waste and recycling bin with a fingerprint-resistant brushed stainless steel finish for hygienic, hands-free disposal.

This tall, large-capacity bin combines a generous 80-liter (21.1-gallon) interior with a responsive soft-open motion sensor and an anti-fingerprint exterior, making it suited for busy households and shared kitchens. Designed to hold more waste than standard 21-gallon models without an internal liner reducing usable volume, it balances practical storage with a refined, durable appearance.

How does the motion sensor improve everyday use?

The integrated infrared motion sensor detects hand or object movement and lifts the lid smoothly without contact, minimizing mess and germ transfer. The soft-close mechanism ensures the lid shuts quietly and reliably after use, reducing noise and keeping odors contained.

• Touchless infrared sensor for hands-free opening
• Soft-open and soft-close lid action for quiet operation
• Sensor range tuned for kitchen activity to avoid false triggers
• Battery-powered operation for easy placement—no wiring needed

What capacity and space advantages does this bin offer?

With an 80L capacity, the bin provides roughly 25% more usable interior volume than comparable standard 21-gallon cans, thanks to a design that maximizes internal space. Its tall, narrow profile fits beside countertops or in a corner while holding more waste between changes.

• 80 liters (21.1 gallons) total capacity
• Interior shape optimized for larger loads and recycling bags
• No bulky inner liner reducing usable volume
• Suitable for households, small offices, or shared kitchens

How durable and maintenance-friendly is the finish?

The exterior is finished in brushed stainless steel with an anti-fingerprint coating that helps keep the unit looking clean with minimal wiping. The sturdy construction resists dents and wear from daily use while remaining easy to clean with a soft cloth and mild cleaner.

• Fingerprint-resistant brushed stainless steel surface
• Durable materials designed for long-term daily use
• Wipe-clean maintenance—no special cleaners required
• Stylish finish that complements modern kitchen decor

What power and operating details should I expect?

The sensor operates on 4 AA alkaline batteries, delivering energy-efficient performance estimated up to several months between replacements depending on traffic. The battery-powered design allows flexible placement away from outlets and simplifies installation—no cords or professional setup required.

• Requires 4 AA alkaline batteries (included or not—check packaging)
• Energy-efficient circuitry for extended battery life
• Simple setup and placement—no electrical wiring needed
