Q: Questionwhat is panel ready(1 answer)
A: AnswerPanel ready means the appliance gets delivered without a front. You would then go to a cabinet maker so they can design a custom panel and pull handles to match the cabinets in your kitchen. This way at a glance you would not know there was an appliance there as it would seamlessly blend in with you cabinetsAnswered by SeanTheApplianceGuy
Q: QuestionCan this unit be used as a free standing piece?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThere is no reason it couldn't. It would be rather bulky, it is not a small appliance. It is designed to fit under a cabinet, but it would still work free standing.Answered by WRTA
Q: QuestionWhat size of panel should I order for the front?(1 answer)
A: AnswerHi Mark, this calls for a 29 3/8" H and 15" W panel with a minimum 1/2" (13mm) thickness. Hope this helps.Answered by KitchenAidTeam
- A: AnswerThe dimensions of this product are as follows: 34.125"H x 15"W x 24"D.

Q: QuestionDoes the unit run on 110vac 60hz?(2 answers)
A: AnswerHello Toni! Per the Use and Care Guide: This compactor is for use on a single phase, 115-volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused and properly grounded circuit. Thank you for your inquiry on our KitchenAid appliances.Answered by KitchenAidTeam
- A: AnswerWhy not? But.. only if you do same sort of packaging. It would hinder waste management from separating cans, glass and plastics if you toss them in together.

Q: QuestionWill this fit in an opening of 33 3/4” high if the wheels are taken off?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThis will probably fit very tightly without taking the wheels off. I measured my opening and it is right about that size for height and it fit without removing anything. It was a tight fit. Your tightest area will be the two machine screws at the top of the unit. I put this unit in to replace an old Jenn Air that tightly fit in the same space.Answered by Leapyeardude

LOVE
This is our second trash compactor. Our first one lasted 23 years. It was made by another manufacturer, and no longer made. I did not realize how much I would miss having one until it stopped working. We purchased this particular model because it was the only one I could find that has “extra compact mode“ I’m not sure why you would want a trash compactor that does not have this feature. True this apparently makes the trash compactor more expensive, but well worth the money. We simply uncrated carried it inside, pulled out the old unit, plugged it in and pushed it in under the counter. Probably the easiest appliance installation job ever. The filter feature works well but we really don’t use it since I basically washed out any food residue before placing in the trash bin I mean we do only take the trash out every 5 to 6 days. The stainless steel looks great and I would recommend this to anyone especially if you have children .

Efficient but pricey
Purchased this compactor to match appliances in new home. I thought it was expensive but chose to purchase regardless. Husband is handy and was able to install himself. The unit operates well, not terribly loud or long when cycling. I find the door is a bit wobbly in comparison to an old model I owned before but not too annoying. Looks good, works well. Glad I made the purchase. Best Buy delivered quickly, too.

Love It!
I hate taking out the trash! My handyman installed this which wasn’t a replacement and it was quite easy for him. He gutted my cabinet using a skill saw and cut 1/4 inch off on one interior side and installed an electrical outlet and the rest was plugging in and moving into place. He installed it 10 days ago and I have to had to empty it yet. Usually I have to take out garbage at least 2 times a week. It is loud, but it compacts garbage and boxes wonderfully!
