Customers love the 15" Built-In Trash Compactor for its ease of use, especially on trash day. However, some customers feel the price is a bit high. There are also concerns about the door not closing properly.
I like the look of this trash compactor. You just need to be careful when closing it tonight get your fingers stuck. It works really well, I just wish it was a little bit more quiet.

I hate this trash compactor so much. I never thought I would like having a trash compactor. Then we bought a house that had one and I loved it. Really loved it. Then it broke. Boo. It was 15 years old and the parts were no longer available so we had to replace it. This model looks really good - until you try to use it. Because it has no handle you have to either close it with your knee or with your hand. So it ALWAYS has finger prints all over the top. Ugh. It's also so loud. I read other reviews and wonder about whiny people. I mean it's a trash compactor so it will make noise, right? This is REALLY loud. Like I can't run it when my kids are in bed loud. It's crazy. We thought we would like the foot pedal. It seems like a great idea. Use your foot and toss the trash in. The problem is that the door just barely opens enough to get your fingers in. I can't use my foot to open the door then toss my eggshells in (for example). I have to use my foot to unlock the unit, then use my fingers to open the door. I hate this machine. Run away.

Easy to use and to take out the trash on trash day. 5 people use this and the trash is only required to be removed once a week. What a space saver and great for the environment. Looks sleek and the hands free use makes it easy to not contaminate your cooking environment.
