Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to install, quiet in operation. Drawer mechanism seems a little flimsy. All-in-all a nice appliance.

Replaced another brand. This one is much nicer and the SS finish looks great and matches our other Kitchenaid appliances. If you like using a trash compactor this is a real nice one. Bags are very cheap to buy at Costco unlike our other brand.

The drawer doesn't open fluently. When I press on the foot pedal to open it the drawer disengages but doesn't open---I then have to lift up AND pull on the handle to get the drawer open. I had a factory rep repairman to assess it and he said nothing is wrong with it---that it was functioning properly. I am not appeased at all. This unit replaced my prior KitchenAid built-in trash compactor that lasted 28+ years so I'm speaking from experience that the door should pop open unassisted. Note: I made the purchase on 9/1/20. The delivery date was 11/25/20. Install was 11/30/20. I've been too busy to submit the review nor have I used the trash compactor.

Really happy with this purchase. Old one broke and rather than get it fixed just replaced it. The brand is reputable so I didn’t think I could go wrong. I was right.

Overall good product, only issue so far is that its not offered in a black stainless front.

Getting used to the new pedal push compactor. Wish you didn’t have to push it twice.

Not the sturdiest appliance. Aesthetically pleasing

It’s a little on the loud side as others have noted, but it’s a few times a day for 10 seconds - not a big deal in my opinion. Everything else is great.

We have several Kitchenaid appliances and this product replaced our older compactor. I wish I wouldn't have. We only replaced it so it would match our new refrigerator and dishwasher. The stainless steel on this product is horrible - not sure if it's only mine or if it's a problem for others . I don't know why they don't make it in a "printshield s/s" like they do the fridge and dishwasher. If any spot (water) gets on the compactor it is there to stay! I had to stop hanging a hand towel on the bar because the water spots are impossible to remove. Would not recommend.

Convinced that trash compactors are better than ever! I was worried it would look out of date, but Kitchen Aid REALLY knows how to make something look great and modern!

Item was defective. I had to reorder a new one and hopefully it will work properly

A very nice machine, worked great and a low price of an open box item

Compacts pretty well, a little bit loud but I'm prettt happy.

I had high expectations and looked forward to making this KitchenAid trash compactor part of my new suite of kitchen appliances. Unfortunately, my order was back-ordered and then cancelled by Best Buy as unavailable. The search is on for a retailer who can get their hands on one!

So far so good. No complaints. Thank you best buy!

I can tell already I made a great choice at BEST BUY with my new 3rd garbage compactor, last two GE,Only lasted less than 2 years each. Better warranty,better looking.

Compactor is very sturdy and works well. Door opens easily.

Had been looking for years and finally purchased a display model. Best purchase I've made in a while.

Very disappointing quality. Screws came out within the first 3 months, after 15 months the front door/panel fell off.

Tremendous support at store and 3rd party delivery exceeded expectations.
