Townew Review: Trash Can of the Future?

Today I'm taking a look at the Townew "automatic" trash can which can seal and install new bags automatically. Is it worth the hefty price tag?

If they added a crush feature it would be much more appealing for the price

I actually purchased this a few months ago specifically for my bathroom. I think it is the perfect size trashcan for the bathroom. The fact that it conceals the trash is a plus. I am a neat freak, so NOT looking at bathroom trash was initially what I was looking for. Glad I purchased!

“Son, did you take out the trash?”

“No, dad. Mom forgot to charge the trash can again.”

It's super cool but I agree with you on it needing to be a bit bigger. It's great for an office or room trash can since those are usually smaller but the price tag seems a bit high. The other issue appears to be the infrared lid thing. Not a fan of the timer on that thing, hopefully the newer ones have a feature to keep the lid open for a bit longer or all together

[lordvlygar]

I think I would prefer it being a foot pedal operated lid that automatically seals the bag when it fills up.

The bag sealing was actually impressive. A bigger version of this would be great!

It feels like one of those inventions that are cool for a few days and after that you realize the old tech is much more efficient at what its supposed to do

[sav]

If they added a “ Delete” button and destroys all the molecules of the trash would be dope

[GadgetAddict]

If it was bigger and cheaper, I'd consider getting one.

It's clever technology, I just hope it's reliable.

I see that James is a man of culture sporting that Waluigi shirt.

I honestly thought the lights were ultraviolet lights to kill bacteria not charging indicator lights. Would of been a helpful feature possibly for the cost.

I've got several trashcan's like these! One in the camping trailer and in my motorhome. I also got a small one in the bathroom and a large one in the kitchen! Especially in a camper it's ideal; no smell's and no hassle to tie up the bag! From the same brand I recently bought the 'DRY FLUSH TOILET'; absolutely brilliant! Each and every 'do' is sealed! There are 14 bag's in the cartridge for the toilet and after the last bag is used, it will open and after the new cartridge is placed it will close itself!

What they put wheels on it...
"Trashy. Come here"
"Open"
"Close"
"Go back"

I bought my mom and step-dad this trash can as a Christmas present. Fingers crossed that they end up liking it.

[KingPK]

I think your conclusion is spot on: it's a great proof of concept now but I'll wait until future generations get bigger and/or cheaper before buying in.

James, this bin is bloody fantastic for those of us who have arthritis and dexterity problems.

I suspect they are planning ahead for a rapidly ageing population, who are more likely to have these issues.
Thanks for introducing us to this interesting device, mate.

[nickjeffrey]

The fact it’s closing while ur still putting things in it completely ruins it

Proprietary trash bags make it a no-go for me.

This is the best review I’ve found. So thorough! Thank you !
