Dreame expands its smart home lineup with a sensor-equipped trash can featuring automatic lid opening and bag dispensing.
Dreame has expanded its smart home ecosystem with the launch of the SP09 Pro Smart Trash Can, a sensor-equipped waste bin designed to automate everyday disposal tasks. The Chinese electronics brand, known for robot vacuums and smart home devices, is now targeting the smart kitchen and bathroom market with this automated trash solution.
The SP09 Pro features an integrated smart sensor that automatically opens the lid when detecting trash or a hand positioned overhead. This hands-free operation aims to reduce contact with potentially contaminated surfaces. The double lid design further minimizes the need to touch the bin during use, addressing hygiene concerns that have become increasingly important in recent years.
Beyond basic automation, the trash can includes a manual override function that keeps the lid open for extended periods. This feature proves particularly useful during cleaning sessions or when disposing of multiple items consecutively. The automatic bag dispensing system represents another key innovation, using suction technology to open and position new bags automatically when the bin is emptied.
With a 9-liter (2.4-gallon) capacity, the SP09 Pro appears optimized for smaller spaces like bathrooms or bedrooms rather than kitchen use. The compact dimensions of 347 x 304 x 156 mm (approximately 13.7 x 12.0 x 6.1 inches) support this positioning. The bin's white plastic construction with gold accent trim offers a modern aesthetic that could complement various interior designs.
Powering these smart features requires battery operation, though specific battery life information isn't provided in the current specifications. The device retails for CNY 329 (approximately $48) through Chinese retailers like JD.com, positioning it as a premium but accessible smart home accessory.
While Dreame has established a presence in international markets with products like the L40 Ultra Gen 2 Robot Vacuum and Mop, the company hasn't announced plans for the SP09 Pro's availability outside China. This regional limitation may disappoint international customers who have already adopted Dreame's ecosystem of smart home products.
The launch represents Dreame's continued expansion into adjacent smart home categories, building on its expertise in automation and sensor technology. By applying similar principles used in its robot vacuums to a mundane household item, the company demonstrates how smart technology can enhance even basic daily tasks.
The SP09 Pro Smart Trash Can joins a growing category of connected home devices that prioritize convenience and hygiene. As smart home adoption increases, products that solve everyday problems through automation may find receptive markets, particularly in regions where Dreame already has established distribution channels.
