Well you need to come up to it for it to open. When you are wiping the table after a big good dinner and you have you hand full of crumbs and other stuff it is very inconvenient to start opening the trash can. If you try to do that you might drop some of them on the floor and around the trash can. This gadget opens for you so you do not have to do anything. It really helps if you are lazy and want to do everything with one try. You can take divide all the crumbs into two parts and throw them away in order but I do not like to do that. That is why this cool gadget comes useful: it opens the lid so you can throw away the garbage.
It works really simply: it has a sensor built in and it knows when you or your hand full of garbage or anything. When this gadget notices something like that it will open its led instantly. The range of the sensor is 6 inches; it is not very far but I think you do not want it to open when you just pass by. It will remain open as long as its sensor "sees" you and then it closes the led 3 seconds after you have walked away. It is a very good timing strategy because if it stops seeing your hands somehow you still have some time before it closes.
This gadget trash can uses batteries to power up that makes it portable. You can place it in your back yard if you are having dinner there. Or you can move it around the house when you are cleaning up. In order to keep you informed it has a LED indicator that will let you know when the battery gets low.
There is another option that you can choose from. It is the manual control. There are buttons on the front of this gadget can and you can open the lid with at push of a button. If you want to save the batteries power and not charge them so often you can use the manual control buttons. It is still convenient to use because you do not have to open the lid yourself.
It is also a pretty big can: it can hold up to 13 gallons so you do not even need to get the garbage out every day. You can do that once a week or so. Besides, the lid does not let the smell to come out: of course if it smells.
I think that this gadget could be useful for disabled people because not all of them can open the lid holding something in their hands. This gadget will really save them time. Besides, old people who are slow and have some problems with dexterity might use a gadget like this. And just lazy people who like gadgets like me can use this trash can.
