Nice product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit is for a panel to be installed on front to match existing cabinets, It would be helpful if they sold a panel frame kit to go with the product. This was a replacement unit for one that was 15 years old, we used the old frame kit from the original and attached it to the new unit.

Awesome
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a really great trash compactor! I like the fact that it has a really sturdy handle in front. It’s really quiet in the compactor mode. My husband takes the bag out and he says it’s easy to take out and put in the new one. I really like the foot opening, it works so great. You barely have to push it down the get it open. I’m so happy with it!

Better then previous version,
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.overall, pretty good, Great they figured out to use a foot switch to compress rather than using your hand. The fan is noisier than expected as you can hear it all the time when closed.

Looks beautiful and works well
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looks beautiful and works well. We bought this compactor to replace our old one that died. This looks beautiful and does a great job. All the controls are in side which adds to its outward sleek appearance.

It takes garbage and makes it smaller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a replacement of a very old compactor. It does squish things down very well. I wish it had an indicator of when it was in "solid compact" mode other than the door simply not opening. It would have been nicer to have a little panel at the top saying that, and replacing the big button at the bottom to turn it on. Mechanically it seems strong and effective.

Its okay, just arent made like they used to be
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
