Tuoniu (Townew) is a Chinese company known for its smart automatic trash cans. The first model, called the T1, debuted for the first time in 2018 on the Xiaomi Youpin crowdfunding platform. Then he hit Indiegogo and finally was available in the US and Europe by Knectek Labs. Now, the company behind this product is funding a new model called the Touniu Smart Trash Can T3 on Youpin for 299 Yuan ($ 43).
Since Tuoniu is difficult to pronounce, the company changed its name to Townew for global markets, and therefore we will use the latter name later in this article.
The new Townew Smart Trash T3 retains all the features of the original model with improvements. According to the list (across Mydrive ) on Youpin, which is the official crowdfunding platform Xiaomi in China, the new model is elliptical. For those who don't know, Squircle was the first model.
The company claims the new T3 model takes up 30% less space due to its new shape. In addition, it features ASAR's patented proprietary technology 3.0 to seal the trash bag and remove the new bag from the refueling.
He said that it is 100% faster and 120% more efficient than the previous generation. In addition, the response time for motion detection at a distance of 35 cm for opening the lid has been reduced to 0,3 seconds.

The battery that powers it is still the same 2000mAh rudimentary cell (not bad for a trash can) that the company claims provides 60 days of standby time. Unfortunately, it still charges via the MicroUSB port.
However, the Townew Smart Trash T3 is priced at 599 Yuan ($ 86) but is available at a crowdfunding price on Youpin for 299 Yuan ($ 43) for a limited time. International market availability is not yet known, but it may be available as the first model.
