Description
xThe EKO Nova is a 21-gallon stainless steel, touch-free motion sensor trash can designed for hands-free waste and recycling management with quiet soft-close performance.
The Nova sensor bin by EKO pairs a sleek matte metallic exterior with responsive motion activation to simplify everyday disposal. Built for kitchens, shared workspaces, and high-traffic areas, this rectangular 80-liter container blends durable fingerprint-resistant steel with sensible features like a stay-open mode and long battery life. It’s engineered to reduce contact, minimize smudges, and keep lid movements smooth and unobtrusive.
How responsive is the motion sensor and how does it improve daily use?
The motion detector reacts quickly to hand or object approach so you can dispose of waste without touching the lid. The system opens smoothly and the lid shuts softly to reduce noise and disruption. It’s useful for both routine trash disposal and faster tasks when hands are full.
- Infrared motion sensor for hands-free activation
- Fast lid opening to minimize waiting time
- Soft-close mechanism to reduce slamming and noise
- Stay-open button for extended access during larger jobs
What materials and finish does the Nova use to stay clean-looking?
The exterior uses stainless steel with an anti-fingerprint finish that resists smudges and keeps the surface appearing polished. The matte metallic coating conceals everyday marks better than glossy alternatives. This makes maintenance easier while retaining a contemporary appearance in most interior styles.
- Fingerprint-resistant stainless steel exterior
- Matte metallic finish hides fingerprints and streaks
- Durable rectangular form for stable placement against walls or counters
- Easy-to-wipe surfaces for quick upkeep
How long do the batteries last and what power options are available?
The Nova runs on four AA alkaline batteries and is calibrated for efficient power consumption so typical use can last many months between replacements. The battery-powered design eliminates cords and allows flexible placement where outlets aren’t available. Replacing batteries is straightforward and doesn’t require tools.

How does the Nova handle larger tasks or bulky trash?
When you’re tackling big cleanups, the stay-open feature lets the lid remain open without having to repeatedly trigger the sensor. The 21-gallon (80-liter) capacity accommodates larger volumes and recyclables, reducing the number of trips to empty the bin. The rectangular shape fits neatly against kitchen cabinets or in narrow service areas.
