Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the trash compactor's sleek design, quiet operation, and user-friendly features. Many appreciate its large capacity and the addition of an air freshener. While some find the price to be a bit high, most agree that it is worth the investment. There are a few concerns about the foot pedal, installation, and door closure, but overall, customers are pleased with the product's performance.

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

    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!

    We bought this product at the end of September and it did not work. The foot pedal did not release the trash door and the compactor "sometimes: work. I called Kitchenaid the day it was delivered for a fix. They sent out a technician ..3 weeks later and he couldn't fix the problem. I called Kitchenaid again and they resent a technician. Again no fix but was going to order a new part. The scheduled repair, another 3 weeks later was also cancelled since the repairer haven't received the part. So I'm now 9 weeks past installation and the unit is still useless.

    Don't buy it. It came not closing right. We had to lift it to close right. It was rough from the beginning. Within 2 weeks it started making weird noises and then just stopped working. The repairman came out and said it needs new rails, new bin, they are bent, new motor, it is burnt out and new wiring harness. Oh and they are on back orderer hopefully in a month we will get the parts. When they come in (sent to my home) I have to call and make an appointment to come out and rebuild it. I have had it 2 months. Terrible product and even worse considering how much it cost! Don't buy it.

    Had a Kenmore before for 25 years. Kitchenaid is very expensive. I don't know. It just seems more flimsy than the Kenmore. It doesn't compact as much and the activator (footpad) is VERY flimsy like it would break easily. Doesn't feel like the price of it. Don't know if Whirlpool is any better as none of the stores have any inventory.
