🔬 Product Information
What is the 13L Smart Trash Can with Sensor – Automatic Touchless Bin for Modern Homes?
The Freshleen 13L Smart Trash Can is a revolutionary addition to any modern living space, designed to elevate your daily hygiene and home aesthetics. It’s an automatic, touchless waste disposal solution that leverages advanced infrared motion sensor technology to provide a completely hands-free experience. Crafted from premium stainless steel with an eco-conscious design, this smart bin is more than just a receptacle; it’s a lifestyle upgrade that promotes cleanliness, convenience, and a healthier home environment.
At its core, this smart trash can addresses the common frustrations of traditional bins—unhygienic contact, unsightly appearance, and inconvenient operation. By integrating cutting-edge sensor technology that opens the lid in a swift 0.5 seconds and closes it quietly, Freshleen empowers you to maintain a pristine space with minimal effort. It embodies our commitment to enhancing your quality of life through smart, innovative, and wellness-focused home solutions, helping you transform your daily routines into moments of effortless efficiency and impeccable hygiene.
How does it work?
The Freshleen 13L Smart Trash Can operates on sophisticated infrared motion detection technology, designed for seamless, touchless interaction. Simply install four AA batteries (included), and the intelligent sensor becomes active. When your hand or any object approaches the sensor area, typically within an 8-15cm range, the infrared signal detects the motion. This instantly triggers a whisper-quiet motor, opening the lid in a remarkable 0.5 seconds. Once waste is disposed of and no motion is detected for approximately three seconds, the lid gently and quietly closes, sealing odors and maintaining a hygienic environment. This automatic, smooth operation ensures you never have to touch the bin, promoting a cleaner, germ-free experience every time.
What are the benefits?
The Freshleen 13L Smart Trash Can offers a multitude of benefits, transforming your daily routine and enhancing your living space:
- Reduced Germ Transmission: Eliminates the need for physical contact, significantly lowering the spread of bacteria and viruses in your home, leading to a healthier family and fewer illnesses.

How do I clean and maintain it?
Maintaining your Freshleen 13L Smart Trash Can is crucial for its longevity, hygiene, and optimal performance.
- Wipe Exterior: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap or a stainless steel cleaner to gently wipe down the exterior of the bin, removing fingerprints, smudges, and minor spills. Dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Empty Regularly: For optimal hygiene and odor control, empty the trash can regularly, especially when disposing of food waste. Use standard 13L or 3.5-gallon trash bags.
- Clean Sensor Area: Carefully wipe the infrared sensor window on the lid with a soft, dry cloth. Dust or debris can sometimes interfere with sensor performance. Do not use abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
- Wipe Interior: If any spills occur inside, wipe the interior of the bin with a damp cloth and a mild disinfectant. Ensure the interior is completely dry before placing a new trash bag.
- Check Battery Compartment: Periodically inspect the battery compartment for any signs of corrosion. If present, clean with a cotton swab dipped in vinegar (ensure batteries are removed first and compartment is dry before reinserting batteries).
- Abrasive Cleaners or Scourers: These can scratch the stainless steel finish and damage the sensor.
- Submerging in Water: Never immerse the lid, which contains the electronic components, in water. This will cause irreparable damage.
- Blocking the Sensor: Avoid placing objects directly on top of or too close to the sensor, as this can cause unintended opening or hinder its function.
- Strong Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemical cleaners directly on the sensor or motor components.

🛠️ Troubleshooting & Support
Lid not opening or closing automatically. What should I do?
- Check Batteries: This is the most common issue. Ensure the 4 AA batteries are inserted correctly with the right polarity (+/-) and are not depleted. If they're old, replace them with a fresh set of high-quality alkaline batteries.
- Sensor Obstruction: Make sure there's nothing blocking the infrared sensor window on the lid, such as dust, debris, or a trash bag hanging over it. Gently wipe the sensor area with a clean, dry cloth.
- Reset the Bin: Sometimes a simple reset can resolve the issue. Remove the batteries, wait for 30 seconds, and then reinsert them.
- Lid Mechanism Check: Ensure the lid mechanism isn't physically obstructed by an overfilled trash bag or any debris caught in the hinges.
The lid opens randomly or too frequently without motion. How can I fix this?
- Placement Interference: The infrared sensor can sometimes be triggered by direct sunlight, strong artificial lighting, or even reflections from shiny surfaces nearby. Try relocating the trash can to an area with more diffused light and away from reflective objects or high-traffic zones where people might pass by frequently.
- Sensor Sensitivity: While our sensor is optimized, environmental factors can play a role. Ensure the sensor window is clean and free from smudges that might cause misreadings.
- Electronic Interference: In rare cases, strong electromagnetic fields from other electronic devices nearby could cause interference. Try moving the bin away from appliances like microwaves, Wi-Fi routers, or large TVs.
My smart trash can is making unusual noises. Is this normal?
The Freshleen Smart Trash Can is designed for whisper-quiet operation. If you hear unusual noises (grinding, squeaking, or clicking), it could be:
- Obstruction in Mechanism: Check inside the lid mechanism for any debris, a crumpled part of the trash bag, or even a small object that may have fallen in and is interfering with the motor's movement.
- Lid Misalignment: Ensure the lid is properly seated and not misaligned. Gently try to reseat it.
- Low Batteries: Sometimes, a struggling motor due to low battery power can produce unusual sounds. Replace the batteries with a fresh set. If the noise persists after checking these points, please contact our support team.
