I wanted a garbage can that would have fit under the kitchen sink, but with the plumbing and garbage disposal I needed to do something different. So I began looking at freestanding cans. Stainless steel was a must. The local stores made that puchase doubtful. The prices were stupid high. Not only was the can less expensive,  I upgraded to a sensor can. So when I have dirty hands, I don't transfer anything to the can. Just get near the lid and it opens automatically. Love it!!  Jamie
