When we decided to buy new appliances my husband and I said we will splurge on one item and we’re choosing between the trash compactor and the ice machine. We decided on the trash compactor and couldn’t be happier. We went from taking the trash out almost everyday to once every week and a half. Greta product and would purchase again in a heart beat well worth the money. Not to loud either.

Our compactor is a great unit for a small space. Our kitchen really does not afford space for a large trash can, so we decided to replace an old broken unit that was already here when we moved in. So glad we did! We empty one bag a week compared to 3-4 bags previously.

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 .
