    For a few years had thought about getting a compactor. We finally got one and should have gotten one before. We have plenty of room in our curb side bucket saving us money.

    The wheel blew apart in the track. I took a day off work for GE warranty and first visit they couldn't fix it because they don't have the part in stock, then when it was suppose to come in the following week and took another day off, they cancelled on me. They said the wheel was on back order and they couldn't address it for 6 additional weeks. So frustrating and horrible product!

    This was a replacement for a unite that was in the house and working for over 18 years. This unit was very flimsy as trash compactors go from day one and only lasted 8 months. Now will not compact at all!! Total waste of money.

      Hello GenDick, thank you for your review. We are sincerely sorry that your trash compactor is not operating properly so soon into its lifespan. We understand how that would be frustrating and would love to look into this further as this is not the ownership experience we strive for. If you haven't done so already, we recommend you schedule service with us by calling 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737) Monday – Friday: 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. ET or Saturday – Sunday: 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. ET or by visiting the "Schedule Service" link under the "Owner Support" tab on our website. -Chris@GEA GE_Appliances
