Beyond its vacuum capabilities, bruno has several other features that make it the first smart trash cans of its kind. The device features a built-in storage pod for extra trash bags, and even has companion app to alert you when the bags are running low or when it is trash pickup day. Additionally, there is a motion sensing stainless lid that opens with just he wave of a hand. With so many features built right in, bruno has managed to make even our trash cans more efficient.
