Finally A Truly 'Smart' Trash Can!
By AmazonAddict21 on Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2020
I've had my TowNew trash can for 3 months now, and I LOVE it!! It's the coolest trash can I've ever seen, and as far as I know there's no other company offering something like this. The fully automated bag-sealing process means I can 'take out the trash' without getting my hands dirty. Like other reviewers have said, it's small, but that's one of the things I like about it. Between the automation and the size, it encourages me to take out the kitchen trash more often, which keeps smells from building up. It has a small, understated profile that goes great with any modern decor. The bag changing system is so freaking easy. Taking out the trash is no longer a chore! With good trash cans costing $150 plus, I think this is a great value for the money. Will definitely be a long-time customer! Pros: - FULLY automated (lid, bag changing, bag sealing - all of it! I love not having to change bags!) - Small size - Long battery life! After the initial charge, I've only had to re-charge it once in 3 months - Extremely clean, minimal look - Good value - $100 for the trash can, plus $30 for 6 refill rings (150 bags) - obviously a little more pricey per refill than traditional trash bags, but it's worth it for the simplicity and ease of use - Novel 'cool' factor is always fun. This is definitely a talking point for anyone who witnesses the trash change process! Cons: - The trash bag material could be a little stronger. After a couple small rips in the beginning, I just stopped overfilling/pushing the trash down, and I haven't had any issues since!

If this were around 30$, which is what it’s competition is, I’d give it maybe 3 ⭐️

Although appealing at a first glance, the charging instead of changing batteries feature is quite inconvenient. This trash can is designed for tight spaces; most people probably use them for their bathroom, but the charger is incredibly short, with the connection at the bottom of the trash can. Who has an outlet right next to the toilet? Also, even though 80 days of use sounds like a lot, I have another trash can (with regular, disposable batteries) in my kitchen that lasts for 2 years. As a housewife, I use that trash can a lot more than I use this bathroom one. Last, and unrelated to the batteries issue, the trash can opens at least three times per night without anyone using the bathroom. Maybe it’s just mine, and I was unlucky enough to get a defective one, but if it happened to me, are you gonna risk it happening to you? Not to mention it makes the most disturbing noise while it opens; you’ll get woken up at 2, 5, and finally at 7 for work. While appealing to some, I bet most people would find this detrimental. My advice: keep looking, there’s better stuff out there.
