I live alone and it usually takes me around 10 minutes to tie the trash, vacuum and mop the dust and pet fur that escapes. The auto sealing and changing of trash bags are game-changers for me. But even with the flaws, I am using it as my main trash can. If this does break, I would stick to a good quality Simplehuman or Brabantia trashcan that has a foot pedal and a 10-year warranty. The price is actually cheaper compared to good quality branded trash cans but since it is electronic, it won't last as long. It comes out as around PHP 8 ($0.15) per trash bag. Price for trash bags: PHP 1500 ($29) for 6 boxes of cartridges. It is electronic so the lifespan of it is not as long as analog ones. Might be hard to get cartridge refills in the future.

Best is to keep away food waste from the Townew T1. If you decide to clean the whole thing with water like the other trash cans, goodbye trash can. Speaking of water cleaning, the Townew T1 can has electronic parts. It contains up to 30 15.5L bags, which will last about a month. Inside is a long uncut continuous roll of plastic bag. The trash bag included in it is in cartridge form. And you don’t need to worry about delays. But honestly, you don't need to bend to throw trash in a no-cover type trash can or a foot pedal trash can. The company claims that there is no need to bend over because of the automatic lid. Sometimes there is a delay or it accidentally triggers when I pass by the trash can. The lid opens when you hover your hands or trash on top of it.

They have three models of automatic trash cans available: The T Air Lite, the T3 Slim, and the T1. Townew specializes in automatic trash cans-it’s the brand’s bread and butter. After doing some research, I stumbled upon the Townew T1 Automatic Trash Can, which the brand’s website describes as the solution for reducing the number of times you’ll have to take out your trash to once a month, according to the product description. That’s why I began searching for smart home devices that would check items off my spring cleaning list without me having to lift a finger. But I find it can be overwhelming to get through the long list of spaces to sanitize, cabinets to declutter, and closets to clean out. Because I live in a very tiny New York City apartment, it’s crucial that my space is in tip-top shape so I can maximize every square inch. Whenever the warm weather finally rolls back around, I immediately get the urge to start cleaning and organizing my apartment.
