Whenever I visit my in-laws, we constantly have to keep their giant golden retriever away from the trash. I started searching for solutions and came across the battery-operated Cella 13-Gallon Auto-Tap Sensor Trash Can. With its large capacity and sensor that can only be activated with your foot, this automatic trash can is just what I was looking for. And it seems like shoppers agree, because it’s just about to sell out.

That’s not all — it’s also on sale at QVC, which brings the price down from $88 to $64.99. If you’re new to QVC, you can get $30 off your first order of $60 or more with code WELCOME30 through August 31. Get it before it’s gone!

What Is the Cella 13-Gallon Stainless Steel Auto-Tap Sensor Trash Can?

All it takes is the tap of your foot for the Cella 13-Gallon Sensor Trash Can to open. And if you hold your foot to the sensor for five seconds, the lid of the can will stay open until you press the sensor again. It includes three D batteries and a roll of 30 trash bags, so you’ll have everything you need to get started. Plus, the sleek stainless steel design adds a modern aesthetic to any space.

So if you want to avoid touching your garbage can and add some extra convenience to your kitchen, now is the time to add this automatic trash can to your cart. It’s going fast!

What QVC Shoppers Are Saying

Average Rating: 4 / 5

“Very easy to use, and I love that it is hands-free.” —Twaniqua

“Great product. The stainless steel looks beautiful with my other appliances. This can works better than expected and doesn’t open when someone (like a pet) walks past. Opens very easily with just a tap of the foot.” —ChrissyBHG

“It takes two D batteries, but it works really well. It’s large inside and holds a lot. The only thing is there’s a learning curve putting the bag in, but once you realize how to do it it’s simple.” —Funzy
