    The Trash Compactor did not open all the way as supposed, this defeated the purpose of no touching.

    Literally the worst.

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

    Over the past 30 years, I have owned four different trash compactors in various homes. When we remodeled our kitchen a couple of years ago, we purchased this KitchenAid model because it matched the rest of our appliances. It has done a mediocre job since day one, but the real problem is that because of the door mechanism. It is finicky all the time. We’ve had two service calls on it and currently it is non-functional because the compactor is stuck in the down position. It’s just a terrible machine.

    Unit looks and works well. Must get use to pulling the handle while stepping on the pedal to open. Not quite as heavy as my last unit but does look better

    This product replaced one that was same from approx. Thirty years earlier. It's an ok product not overly in high demand any longer a fad of a bye gone era for the more affluent class. At least they are stll made for replacement purposes that helps us appliance repair contractors.

    Broke within the first year

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

    I've had this compactor for maybe a year and it is already broke and completely unusable. The first issue that I had with it was that you had to lift it to close it. That was the first clue this wasn't going to last. Now the tracks have completely fallen off and it won't close. Totally useless within one year of purchase. Do not buy.
