Xiaomi bin bins overview

The Chinese brand Xiaomi has long been surprising customers with original products with useful performance. It was this company that first guessed to automate the process of packing waste. So there was a “smart” bin, the convenience of which has been appreciated by many users. Consider the features of this unique device in more detail.

Xiaomi is a Chinese company founded in 2010. Today she is known for the release of smartphones, tablets, headphones, fitness bracelets. Besides, the company offers “smart goods” for the home. For example, many have heard of a heated toilet lid, bidet function, and backlight. Another example of a comfortable arrangement is an automated clothes dryer.

In 2014, the company introduced a whole home automation system. "Smart Home" includes an alarm system, surveillance cameras, night lights, a control unit for household appliances. And then the turn came to the topic of garbage. A special bucket Townew T1 decorates the house and makes life easier for its residents.

The product is delivered in a cardboard box filled with protective elements made of foam. The kit includes a bucket, a cartridge with garbage bags (28 pieces) and a charger. And also attached instructions. It is written in Chinese, but detailed illustrations make it easy to figure out how to connect the device.

The bucket can be kept constantly plugged in. If this option does not suit you, you can simply charge it periodically. The built-in battery (2000 mAh) lasts about 45 days. It takes 10 hours to fully recharge. During recharging, the internal backlight works. When the process ends, it shuts down.

The model is called Xiaomi Townew T1 Smart Trash. The bucket is made of plastic, has a rectangular shape with rounded edges. The dimensions of the device are 40.2x28x24 cm. It should be noted that there should be at least 70 cm free space above the bucket. Otherwise, the lid will not be able to fully open. Therefore, if you plan to put a bucket under the sink, make sure that there is enough space.

The container is hermetically sealed. Its volume is 15.5 liters. The size can be called average, but it is quite enough for domestic use.

The bucket is made in a minimalistic modern design. The manufacturer offers models in two colors: white and black. Both options are matte.

And also there are two specifications. The first has rubberized legs, a tray (in case of leakage) and 3 LEDs on the inner surface of the lid. The second option is cheaper. There is no pallet and legs, but there are 6 LEDs.

When a person approaches the bucket and brings his hand to it, the motion sensor is triggered. The lid opens. This allows you to throw trash in. When the hand retracts, the sensor tracks this. The device is closing.

Automation works only when moving over the lid (sensor sensitivity - 30-35 cm). And if, for example, you are used to throwing crumpled paper from a distance into the basket, this number will not work here. Have to go to the device.

During the opening / closing process, a little noise is heard. According to users, it is quiet and completely non-irritating. It is worth noting that if there is something on the trajectory of the lid that prevents the bucket from opening completely, the process automatically stops. Therefore, it will not work to put the tank in a small cabinet and throw garbage into a half-open container.

When filling the bucket, activate automatic package packing. To do this, click on the button. The upper part of the device leans back. A beep sounds. The sealed bag can be taken out. Then the container closes automatically. The bag changes.

The Townew T1 bucket is controlled using two buttons. The one located on the back wall includes a device. The one on the front side of the container is programmed for several options:

• one click - opening the lid and turning off the automation, including the motion sensor (this mode allows you to change the cartridge);
• repeated pressing - closing the lid and turning on the sensor;
• long hold (4 seconds) - change the garbage bag.

The cartridge with replaceable bags is installed on the lid on the inside. Garbage can be packed in two ways.

1. In a normal situation, the packet is sealed inside the container. After the procedure, the lid opens, a beep sounds.
2. If the bag is full, the top rises and picks up all the debris. Only then is packaging open.

Bucket advantages Townew T1 obvious:

• the device is easy to use (everyone can deal with the connection and the principle of operation);
• contact with garbage is excluded, there is no need to manually tie a bag, change it to a new one (everything happens automatically);
• unpleasant odors do not go beyond the capacity, which allows you to put a bucket in any room;
• stylish design allows you to place the bucket even in a conspicuous place;
• there is a child lock that does not allow turning the trash can into a toy;
• LED backlighting is a useful feature;
• if desired, the bucket can be used in manual mode.

To many buyers, the device seemed interesting and useful. Users note that the operation of the bucket is simple and quite pleasant. And the inclusion and installation of cartridges does not cause any difficulties. In this case, the only thing left for a person to do is take out the garbage, the unit does the rest.

People like the tightness of the container, and its design. The versatility of form and color design allows you to harmoniously fit Townew T1 into any kitchen interior and even rooms. Some adapted a bucket for paper trash, candy wrappers, placing it next to the desktop.

The quality of the products does not cause complaints. There are no false alarms of the motion sensor, the process of sealing the packets always goes smoothly. The appearance of the tank is almost impeccable - everything is done carefully, if you do not find fault with the little things.

Users report that one cartridge with bags lasts about a month. Brand packages can be called durable, but they do not have handles for carrying, which some consider to be flaws. In addition, the cost of consumables makes you think about the feasibility of replacing an ordinary bucket with a "smart" miracle of technology.

Today Townew T1 can be purchased at a price of about 5000 rubles. Cartridges are sold in sets of 6 pieces. The approximate price of such a set is about 2000 rubles. If you calculate the price of one bag and compare with ordinary dense bags, you get a 10-fold excess. Nevertheless, whether it is worth paying for convenience, everyone decides for himself.
