A pedal bin fails at the pedal, usually within a year and always when your hands are full. This opens on a motion sensor at 20 cm, with manual buttons for when you want it to stay open while you clear a bench.
The lid closes softly rather than dropping, which is the difference between a bin you can use late at night and one that wakes the house.

Styling notes
Black hides marks better than stainless, which matters for a bin that gets nudged with a knee. At 30 x 30 cm it fits a standard cabinet gap, but check the 51 cm height against a benchtop overhang before committing. The internal fixing ring holds the bag rim down, so bags stop sliding in and disappearing — use one sized close to 30 litres rather than oversized.
