    A workhorse. Love this Compactor. I know that people don't use these much anymore, but that's because they can't remember how useful they are.

    Works great but could be quieter.

    Looks great, very smooth to open and close, foot activation makes it easy. But I'd hoped for a quieter operation. It replaced a 25 year old compactor but the difference in noise was not as much as we hoped.

    Our 3rd compactor. Weve tried 3 brands. Our first (old) one was by far the best, we replaced for astheteics and wish we didnt. The foot pedal doesnt work well. After less than 3 months it fell off. Doesn’t compact well unless in solid pack mode, but why? I alway want it compacted well.

    The compactor works fine. It was quite expensive, but it's quality. I PAID to have best buy professionally install it. The installation is awful. It was not correctly making the compactor hard to open and close. Do yourself a favor Don't pay best buy to install your appliances, they don't know what they're doing

    Replacement

    An exact replacement for our 8-year old KitchenAid compactor. If you get the custom panel ready version, beware that the install service fee does not include installing the custom panel. It was only 4 screws that exactly lined up since it was an exact replacement. So no big deal, I did it myself and the install crew did the rest.

    Much better than the alternatives currently available, which don't seem to have "dense pack" --- but not as good as the Kitchen-Aid compactor that I had at my previous house for 22 years --- which I found easier to operate.
