It's no secret that TikTok is a great place to discover trendy items, home-hacks and life-changing products, but we never thought we'd see trash on our #fyp (that's TikTok's "For You Page" to you newbies).
Taking out the garbage is never fun, but there's nothing worse than having to tie the top of a trash bag that's covered in sticky sauces, old coffee grounds and leaky takeout containers — but the TOWNEW T1 Automatic Trash Can makes the grossest part of the chore a thing of the past!
This miraculous self-sealing and self-changing trash can was made famous in a viral TikTok by user @shengqisu2, with more than 104,000 "loves" and counting; in it, a dirty garbage bag appears to tie and replace itself like magic. Don't believe me—check out the video, below. That's no deep fake; this thing is real, and it's on sale at Amazon for $100—down from $120.
With the push of a button, the TOWNEW T1 Automatic Trash Can seals your full (or even not-so-full) garbage bag so you can pick it up without having to tie it yourself. It then automatically drops in a new, empty bag! It uses a "refill ring" containing up to 25 bags (it adjusts how much bag material is needed depending on how full it is at the time of sealing—how cool is that?) that it cuts, seals and replaces. Its built-in motion sensor means you never have to touch that dirty garbage. Got little ones in the house? The TOWNEW T1's sealing bars will automatically stop if something gets caught to prevent anyone from getting hurt. And oh yeah: The lid keeps odors from wafting out of the can, so you're not smelling sour leftovers two days later.
This game-changing trash can is efficient too: It's powered by a 2000 mAh battery that can last a month on a full charge, so you don't have to worry about keeping it plugged in or near an outlet.
The TOWNEW T1 Automatic Trash Can includes your first refill ring. When it's time to restock, Amazon's got you covered there, too, with a set of six (that's up to 150 additional bags!) for $35.
Simple and minimalist, this trash can is available in white or teal and 3 and 4 gallon sizes to fit your space and aesthetic. It's also available in a smaller, manual style without a lid that still offers a lot of the same great features for $90.
Reviewers say it's easy to use and great for those with disabilities, and its compact size is perfect for small households and living-solo types. Said one happy customer: "This trash can is a little on the small side but is very much what I was looking for. I live alone & didn't like my standard 13-gallon kitchen trash can because it would take me two weeks or so to fill, meaning that I had to live with discarded food sitting in my kitchen. Gross."
At $100, Amazon’s making you an offer you can’t refuse. (Get it? “Refuse?” As in “garbage”? Anyone?”). Pop a TOWNEW T1 Automatic Trash Can into your cart now.
