The Dreame Life SP09 Pro has been launched in China as a smart home solution that brings connected capabilities to an unexpected and commonly overlooked fixture in the home: the trash bin.
The smart trash bin is outfitted with an integrated motion sensor that will automatically lift the lid when a hand or garbage is detected in front of it. The unit introduces automatic bag dispensing that utilizes suction technology to fit a new liner upon being emptied to eliminate the need for manual replacement.
The Dreame Life SP09 Pro has a nine-liter capacity to accommodate placement in the bathroom or bedroom given its smaller size. The bin is also paired with a double-lid design that eliminates contact with the inner liner for greater cleanliness.

Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Smart Hygiene Fixtures
- Integration of sensors and contactless mechanisms into everyday fixtures enables cleaner, hands-free interactions that redefine sanitary standards in domestic spaces.
- Automated Consumable Management
- Devices that detect depletion and dispense or replace liners and consumables autonomously reduce routine maintenance burdens and enable new service and subscription models.
- Compact Connected Appliances
- Miniaturized smart devices designed for tight spaces expand IoT adoption in bedrooms and bathrooms where traditional appliances were impractical.
Where This Applies
- Home Appliances
- Smarter, smaller waste and hygiene products present opportunities for manufacturers to differentiate through integrated sensors, cleanliness-focused designs, and software-enabled features.
- Waste Management
- Sensor-enabled bins that monitor fill levels and automatically reseal or replace liners can transform last-mile waste collection logistics and residential waste-sorting accuracy.
- Hospitality
- Contactless, low-maintenance bins tailored for bathrooms and guestrooms can enhance guest hygiene perceptions and streamline housekeeping operations.
