    We owned the older KitchenAid model for 15 years. It was great and dependable. The door on this model does not close properly. There is a foot petal that does not always initiate the compacting. Very disappointed after paying $$$$ for this product.

    I wish I could give this product a great review, but i just can't. I bought it to replace another KitchenAid unit that gave me 18 years of faithful service. However, this one stopped working properly after just 3 months. A few welds on the trash drawer have given way, and now the drawer won't open and close properly. I wish that was the worst part, but i have been visited by two separate service companies that KitchenAid sent out. Both companies agree on the same issue, and both have told me they can't get replacement parts. I contacted KitchenAid service with this problem, and it has been SILENCE. It's as thought they simply do not care, and this is a $1,700 appliance. This may be the last KitcheAid product i ever buy. Very sad.

    Everyone involved with my kitchen remodel was surprised that I chose to include a trash compactor. The compaction ratio that this trash compactor offers is one of the best for the price. Trash doesn't go out every day because it attracts bear and other animals in the area where we live.
