    Replacement

    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.

    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.

    Horrible Product - Horrible Service

    I wish I could give this product a great review, but i just can't. I bought it to replace another KitchenAid unit that gave me 18 years of faithful service. However, this one stopped working properly after just 3 months. A few welds on the trash drawer have given way, and now the drawer won't open and close properly. I wish that was the worst part, but i have been visited by two separate service companies that KitchenAid sent out. Both companies agree on the same issue, and both have told me they can't get replacement parts. I contacted KitchenAid service with this problem, and it has been SILENCE. It's as thought they simply do not care, and this is a $1,700 appliance. This may be the last KitcheAid product i ever buy. Very sad.

    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.

    Trash compactors are hard to find. Best Buy had them on line. The one I purchased is a kitchen aid. I have enjoyed using it. The sales person was very nice to me and it was delivered when requested.
