ELPHECO motion-sensor bathroom trash can – 2 Gallon Cement Grey-Black, automatic lid & IPX5 waterproof

ELPHECO's 2-gallon motion-sensor bathroom trash can in cement grey-black is a slim, waterproof automatic-lid bin designed for small spaces like bathrooms, bedrooms, RVs, and offices.

This compact trash can combines a motion-activated lid, IPX5 water resistance, and an upgraded bag retainer in a narrow-form design that fits tight corners while keeping waste contained and hands-free. It operates on two AA batteries (not included) and uses a simple indicator light to show lid status. The matte cement grey and black finish resists stains and blends with modern decor.

How does the automatic lid work and what should I know before first use?

The lid opens when the built-in motion sensor detects movement and closes afterward, letting you toss waste without touching the bin. Before first use, install two AA batteries and fit a trash bag correctly using the included upgraded retainer ring to prevent slipping.

• Motion sensor activates lid automatically when motion is detected.
• Indicator light: green when opening, red when closing.
• Requires two AA batteries; follow setup steps for reliable operation.
• Upgraded bag ring secures bags and hides excess for a neat look.

Is this trash can durable enough for humid bathroom environments?

The unit uses IPX5 waterproofing to resist splashes, humidity, and light rinsing, protecting internal electronics and preserving the exterior finish. That rating makes it suitable for bathroom counters, shower-adjacent areas, or other moisture-prone spaces where ordinary bins might corrode or stain.

• IPX5 protection prevents spray damage to electronics.
• Wipe-clean exterior resists water spots and staining.
• Smooth lid and rim design reduce areas where grime builds up.

How much waste does the 2-gallon size hold and where does it fit best?

With a 2-gallon interior capacity, this slim bin holds everyday bathroom and bedroom waste without dominating the floor area. Its narrow footprint is engineered for tight spaces — beside toilets, under vanities, in RV bathrooms, or next to a workstation.

• 2-gallon capacity balances compact size and practical volume.
• Slim profile fits narrow crevices and small countertops.
• Lightweight construction makes it easy to move for cleaning and bag changes.

What makes the bag retainer and indicator light useful in daily use?

An upgraded bag retainer ring keeps liners from slipping into the pail and conceals excess bag material for a tidier look. The indicator light gives immediate feedback on lid position, helping you know when the sensor has engaged or the unit is closing.

• Bag retainer prevents liner slippage and keeps the rim tidy.
• Green/red indicator ensures clear visual status while in use.
• Simple maintenance: remove, rinse, and replace liner easily.

Who is this for? The ELPHECO 2-gallon automatic trash can is built for people with limited floor space who want hands-free waste disposal — apartment dwellers, RV owners, busy bathrooms, bedroom nooks, and small home offices. It suits anyone seeking a low-profile, water-resistant bin with clear sensor feedback and a neat, hidden-bag finish, provided they can install two AA batteries and follow simple setup steps.

Note: This product is motion-sensor operated. Please install two AA batteries and fit the bag correctly before use. Contact ELPHECO customer support if you encounter setup or operation issues.
