Veteran tech reviewer Julie Strietelmeier puts TOWNEW through real-world daily testing, praising the one-touch sealing, open-lid mode, and wireless rechargeable battery convenience.


Having automated vacuum cleaners and automated litter boxes naturally leads to the next household frontier: automated waste containment. TOWNEW solves the friction points of traditional bins.

The sensor detection operates smoothly upon approach. For prolonged kitchen prep or desk cleaning, tapping the touch button initiates Open-Lid Mode, disabling infrared sensors until you tap again.

The automatic liner change is where the engineering shines: after taking out the sealed waste bundle, the bin powers an internal suction cycle that neatly stretches a brand new liner against the container interior without requiring manual adjustments.

With solid battery performance lasting up to a month between recharges, TOWNEW eliminates floor cable clutter while significantly improving everyday sanitation.

“When the bag is full, press and hold the button and it will seal the bag shut for you. When you shut the lid, it automatically installs a new bag ready to use.”
