Baldwin 2.5 Gallon Touchless Trash Can 2 Pack Black

Compact touchless bin for tight spaces

This two-pack of 2.5-gallon bins fits narrow gaps in bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, RVs or offices. Each unit measures 12.6 by 5.9 inches and holds 10 litres of waste. The infrared sensor opens the lid automatically when you wave a hand above it, and a manual button keeps the lid open for longer tasks. The lid shuts after five seconds to trap odours and deter pests. Buyers who need a larger capacity or a wider footprint should look elsewhere.

Check power and clearance before ordering

The motorised lid runs on two AA batteries, which are not supplied, so have a fresh pair ready for each bin. Verify that the 12.6-inch height and 5.9-inch width clear any overhanging shelves, vanity tops or toe-kick spaces where you plan to place the units. The sensor field sits above the rim, so allow a few centimetres of free air space for reliable detection. Ensure the plastic body is compatible with the cleaning products you normally use.

Thermals, noise and power draw in daily use

Battery power means no mains cable and negligible standby consumption. The motor runs only during the brief open and close cycles, producing a quiet whir that is barely audible in a typical room. No heat is generated beyond the small electronics package. With normal household traffic the two AA cells last for months before needing replacement.
