Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased this compactor for our newly renovated cabin in the woods! So far has met my expectations! Very easy install with direct plug in. Very quiet too!

We had this same compactor for 22 years. When the old required replacement we stayed with the same basic product. However, the newer model does not have a robust housing, which makes the entire product seem cheaper and have a tinny sound when opening, closing and compacting.

This is a very nice smooth and quiet compactor. It looks modern and works well

The most inexpensive stainless steel model I could find.

I have had it about 3 weeks & so far I am pleased.

The compactor looks good, controls are easy to operate, and it smashes the trash like it's supposed to but the drawer sticks when opening or closing. Upon close inspection inside you can see where the drawer scrapes the bottom surface of the compactor at the back. I've been told this is a design flaw so I certainly cannot recommend it. The repairman was unable to fix it so back it goes. Hopefully I'll have better luck next time.

The appliance is top notch and will last forever. The best part are the looks which are streamline. The compactor also does a pretty good job of not over crushing items which is nice.

Replaced old one of 25 years. Looks great and works fine.

I bought this new Trash Compactor to replace one from the 70's. It works great but I noticed that it is not as well made as the one from the 70's. But nothing really is anymore.

It’s works good. Not as quiet as my previous KitchenAid but couldn’t get any other for more than 6 months!!!!

Unfortunately the warranty from manufacturers is 1 year. Mine broke exactly 13 months and 1 week later. Additionally, I tried to get a service person from whirlpool and they won't service in my location. this is an expensive machine to only get a little over a year of use out of. Im extremely disappointed. I Had to wait almost a month to get it in the first place, so technically I think I am within a year of owning it, but they dont care about that, only the purchase date. How it isn't functioning: After compacting, it won't shut off, starting thumping loudly, the whole machine jumps up and down, sounds like it is going to blow up, smells like it is going to combust in flames. sound safe for your family? I think not. ~Yours truly, and extremely disappointed customer. do yourself a favor and go to a local company and spend a little more money on a compactor, it will be worth it. (I just spent $100/month and now have to purchase another)

Had our previous Kitchen Aid for 14 years before it stopped working properly. This one which cost over $900 stopped after less than 3 months. Getting a hold of Whirlpool for service was not easy. On hold 45 minutes. The start button is not working. I do not like the button compared to the knob that you turn to start the compactor on the Kitchen Aid model. It is more noisy than the Kitchen Aid that was 14 years old. I would spend the extra 300 for that one after this experience. Appliance man sent by Whirlpool was able to get it working and he is installing new switch this week as the fix is temporary. I hope the new switch lasts way more than one year! I hope for their sake this is isolated experience.

Great little compactor. It’s amazing how much more trash can fit in the bag before having to take out.

Would have liked to see that it pauses after compacting instead of going straight back up

The compactor looks nice, works great, and a great value

This has worked out very well so far. Looks great.

I am pleased with this unit. It replaced a similar Whirlpool model I had for 30 years.

Fit perfect still getting used to working it but it doesn’t job

This trash compactor looks great and works extremely well. It has a great design.

Returned to store. Was a built in model and I wanted a free standing unit
