Customers are saying

Many appreciate the acceptable noise level and overall performance compared to cheaper models. However, some customers find the price a bit high and have experienced issues with the foot pedal, installation, and door.

    We have had the unit for a couple of months and no issues. Performs about the same as the old one but looks way better and our old one stopped working.

    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.

    The trash compactor ( Kitchen Aid) was delivered on schedule and the installation was very professional adjusting the old 18” space to the new 15” compactor.

    It is very good, the trash bin is very hard to undo to take the trash bag out of the compactor , but other than that, it is very good.

    Seems to be a good unit. We haven't had it long so I can't say much about longevity. Bought it because it matched the rest of our KitchenAid appliances. Looks good and smashes trash, what more could you ask for.

    Thing we don't like is pretty trivial but the foot release rattles when you push it closed

    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.

    Dysfunctional trash compactor.

    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.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
