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.

Great find!
This trash compactor was bought at the Best Buy Outlet store. It was the exact measurements that we needed and fit into the space that we had. The dent was minimal (on bottom out of sight and the price reduction was incredible. We will continue to shop here first when in need of future appliances. This compactor is easy to open, especially when your hands are full. Our old compactor was 26 years old, so this new compactor is much quieter and more energy efficient. Our regular t13 gallon trash bags also fit this model which will reduce costs. Great buy!
