Whirlpool - Gold 1.4 Cu. Ft. Built-in Trash Compactor - White-on-White

Our trash compactor significantly reduces the size of our waste, meaning we need fewer trash bags and less frequent trips to the trash can. With simple controls and an easy-to-use design, we can compact our trash with the push of a button saving time and effort in managing waste. By compacting waste, we reduce the number of bags we use, leading to less plastic waste.

This compactor replaced an older one that was out of style in the updated kitchen. The drawer opens smoothly with your foot; easy to close by hand or with a leg nudge. The operation noise is about the same. The Best Buy delivery team was great, on time, clean and respectful of the floors! They took away my old compactor. This compactor was chosen because the controls are exposed and the stainless styling.

I haven’t received it yet, it’s on back order. Delivery has been rescheduled 4 times already.

Sadly I had to return it but only because our existing cabinet would not accommodate it. I've had a compactor in my kitchen for at least 30 years and was so surprised when our builder did not offer this an option. I consider a built-in trash compactor in the kitchen an absolute necessity like a dishwasher or oven. It decreases the amount of nagging I have to do with my husband. Sadly, I had to return the item for now until I have a cabinet that will accommodate it. My other kitchen appliances are all Whirlpool so that is one of the reasons I selected this particular compactor. Really looking forward to purchasing it again once my additional kitchen cabinets are completed. Advice-Request Best Buy's free measuring before purchase.

My new trash compactor is the best. It is super quiet and the amount of trash that fits in the bag is crazy. I also love that the drawer tips for easier removal of the full bag.

Had our previous Kitchen Aid for 14 years before it stopped working properly. This one which cost over $900 stopped after less than 3 months. Getting a hold of Whirlpool for service was not easy. On hold 45 minutes. The start button is not working. I do not like the button compared to the knob that you turn to start the compactor on the Kitchen Aid model. It is more noisy than the Kitchen Aid that was 14 years old. I would spend the extra 300 for that one after this experience. Appliance man sent by Whirlpool was able to get it working and he is installing new switch this week as the fix is temporary. I hope the new switch lasts way more than one year! I hope for their sake this is isolated experience.

Bought this to replace 20 yr old GE compator that had finally quit running. This compator is a dream can make a weeks worth of trash seem like nothing. compacts very well, runs very quiet. Great product and has a very sleek design

I purchased this based upon the reviews and my previous compactor was also a Whirlpool. I remodeled my kitchen and replaced this compactor only because it was the wrong color. When I pulled the old one out it was still working just fine and it was original from the late 1980's. I am hoping this one is just as good!
