    Service Very Poor

    We’ve owned this product less than a year had problems with the door open. Item is broke cannot open the door makes a loud bangs and the biggest problem is trying to get it fixed every phone number you call talk to somebody else now they want me to bring it to the store. This compactor weighs just as much as the fridge. Very dissatisfied.

    Love our Trash Compactor

    We have had the Kitchenaid in our last 3 story condo & love it so much we decided to purchase another-this time we went with the slicker looking GE. This one works just as well-yes it is noisy but saving time not having to take the trash out every 2-3 days is a great trade off!!

    Mrs

    I really love this new trash compactor! The pedal only access is really convenient. It saves time and has a positive affect on the environment because I use less plastic trash bags.

    GE Trash Compactor

    First of all, so much easier going to the store and having an associate help to make sure it would fit into the space our old compactor was in. The wife loves it. Much quieter than our old one that lasted a lifetime and is working great. Also, the team that came to install it were very professional and clean. Not much else to say as it does what it's supposed to do. What I really like is the stainless steel does not keep water marks or fingerprints. No more wiping down with polish, just wipe away with a cloth and it's clean.

    Junk disposal

    Do not buy. It has a design flaw and makes it so that the opening mechanism breaks. See other reviews. Reached out to GE and they refused to do anything. It’s worthless now as it won’t open after less than 1 .5 years of regular use. Shame on Ge for selling this design flawed object and then not standing by there products. That’s after it arrived with a warped door that I had to get replaced by my appliance store rep.
