I would recommend this to a friend 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.
I would recommend this to a friendExcellent Appliance

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!
I would recommend this to a friend Great addition to our kitchen package
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We added the compactor to complete the new kitchen package. We love the handle design which makes it very easy to open and close, as well as keep the stainless steel front clean. Operation is simple and quiet.
I would recommend this to a friendIt 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.
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

Great camera for beginners!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This compactor was a replacement for a previous compactor. It is quieter and compacts with much more force than our previous unit.
I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Foot pedal
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!

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.
