Function is not great - Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought since my last one broke, which I had for 17 years, and loved. This one is not as well made and does not compact as well. The solid packed option does not seem to work. The foot pedal gets in the way of the door opening properly; a design flaw that Kitchen Aid needs to address.

These need to make a comeback!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Solid compactor
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have owned several compactors. The is as good as we've owned.
I would recommend this to a friend Works great but could be quieter.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Mrs.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent compactor and a great fit into cabinet. Easy to use.
I would recommend this to a friend Replacement
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Installation
Horrible Installation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Terrible product.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Better than nothing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
