ELPHECO Motion Sensor Bathroom Trash Can 2.5 gal — White & Gray, IPX5 Water-Resistant Slim Oval

The ELPHECO 2.5 gallon motion sensor trash can is a compact, water-resistant bathroom bin with a hands-free lid and slim oval design for small spaces.

This smart waste can combines responsive infrared sensing with IPX5 water resistance and a neat, space-saving profile to keep bathrooms and tight kitchens tidy without the need to touch the lid. It runs on two AA batteries, accepts a custom-fit code A trash bag, and is engineered to resist slips and surface water—making it a low-effort, hygienic option for everyday waste disposal.

How does the motion sensor make daily use easier?

The built-in infrared sensor opens the lid when it detects movement, so you can discard trash hands-free. The sensor logic is tuned to limit false triggers, conserving battery life and keeping the lid closed when not in use.

• Automatic lid opens on motion detection and closes after about 5 seconds of no movement
• Weight-sensing button keeps lid open until you touch it again
• Minimized false openings to extend battery runtime

Is this bin suitable for humid bathroom environments?

Yes — the unit uses IPX5-level water-resistant construction so splashes and moist air won’t damage the electronics or leave persistent water marks on the exterior. Rinseable surfaces make it simple to wipe clean after use.

• IPX5 waterproof protection for safe bathroom placement
• Smooth ABS exterior resists stains and rinses clean
• Design prevents water infiltration into the lid electronics

Will it fit in tight spaces and what size bags work best?

The slim oval footprint (12" L × 6" W × 12.5" H) takes up minimal floor area while holding 2.5 gallons of waste—ideal for narrow bathroom corners, under sinks, or beside vanities. ELPHECO recommends its code A trash bags for a secure, hidden fit that resists tears and slipping.

• Compact dimensions save floor space and tuck into small areas
• 2.5 gallon capacity for routine bathroom trash needs
• Custom-fit code A bags prevent slippage and conceal bag edges

What controls and power does the smart lid use?

Operation is simple: install two AA batteries and follow the quick-start steps to seat the bag and activate the lid. Press and hold the lid button for three seconds to power on; repeat after battery changes. A touch-sensitive control can lock the lid open when needed.

• Runs on two AA batteries (not included) with easy battery access
• Press-and-hold button to start or restart the sensor system
• Touch-sensitive option keeps lid open for hands-on tasks

Who is this for? The ELPHECO motion sensor trash can is designed for homeowners, renters, or small-business operators who need a tidy, touchless trash solution in confined spaces. It fits bathrooms, powder rooms, compact kitchens, RVs, and office nooks where water resistance, low maintenance, and discreet bag concealment matter.
