I purchased this compactor to use as my recycle container as its a long walk to the garage to take things out there. I was replacing my 20 year old one that I used the same way. It worked fine, I was just changing to all stainless appliances. it's works great for that use for me.

My first Kitchenaid trash compactor lasted 34 years! I wouldn't have consider anything else. I love the new desisgn, incliding the comactor lockdown position. Kitchenaid products have always been top pf the line in my opinion. Thank you Kitchenaid for your quality work!

Trash Compactor. I always thought they were just a waste of a product. Then we bought a house that had one. It broke and we needed to replace it. These are special orders. The first one was damaged from shipping. So had to re order a new one. During the down time about eight weeks we realized how much we actually liked having one and finally the new one came and we reinstalled it ourselves better than the one that came with the house new. If we ever move we will make sure the house has one. It is just a door open away from properly disposing garbage. KitchenAid makes the best one as this is the second one.

We replaced all of our Kitchen Aide Superba appliances with the latest high end Kitchen Aide appliances. We are very pleased thus far. The newest version of the compactor is far more utilitarian.

Ordered several weeks from "big box" store. It was worth the weight! Installed it myself in one afternoon. How hard is it to plug in?! This compactor meets all my favorite expectations and desires. Sharp looking appliance!!

I had my KichenAid compactor for 17 years before it needed replacing. My home warranty company wanted to replace it with another cheaper brand. I paid an additional $380 upgrade to get my KitchenAid compactor, and I don't regret my decision. I love my new compactor, it's so nice.

Close But No Cigar
Atlanta50
4/25/2019
There are several issues.
First, the requirement that the drawer be lifted to close and open is inconvenient. I realize that the lifting can be accomplished by stepping on the foot control, but it's just not as convenient as my last unit. This operation is also questionable because of the additional force required to close the drawer resulting in additional stress on the mounting hardware over time.
Second, the location of the compaction and fan controls is inconvenient. Why they aren't located on a front panel and not "behind closed doors" is puzzling. If this is a "safety" design, I give it a fail on the "ease of use" design.
Third, the use of a pedal control is puzzling. I've asked several family members and not one liked it. Neither do I. This is like a throwback to the times when a floorboard switch was used for the high beams on the car.
I bought this appliance based on name-brand confidence. If I'd looked beforehand I would probably have bought another design.

When we engage the compactor, the next time we go to open the drawer we cannot. We must compact a second time to then be able to open the drawer.

Door seems loose. Wiggles easily side-to-side. Wish it had a more firm and steady feel. I'm not crazy about the small pedal to activate the compactor. A bit hard to hit with the foot since its so close to our island cabinet trim.

Our old compactor broke after many years. After doing a lot of research, I read many reviews from many stores and compared pricing, I decided on kitchenaid. It works great! It has an air filter system, and I love the foot pedal compaction. You can use the foot pedal or handle to open which is great. It has a super compactor button too. A friend told me I would be sorry if I didn't get a kitchenaid, and I'm so glad I did!

Why our current home had no garbage compactor is beyond me. Every modern amenity in our kitchen, and no garbage compactor? A crime...especially to the one who had to keep taking the garbage out every frickin day, …..me. So, my XMAS present this year was a trash compactor. Sounds crazy....but I love this thing. It fit perfectly under the counter top where the two cans that rolled out used to be. It looks great, and operates very efficiently...and with much less noise during operation than my last one. This even has a little fan/scent you can engage.....good feature. Well, it's been two weeks now...and even with guests over this holiday season...we lasted two weeks until this had to be emptied. Merry Christmas to me....:-)

We bought this new one after having our open for almost 14 years. The flood mechanism – and compacting – is very difficult to use. Very stiff and awkward. I still love my trash compactor but do not like the stuff of the footpedal and compacting Lever!

We had a KitchenAid trash compactor in our last house that was still working like new after 16 years. We've only owned this compactor for a few weeks so our feedback is limited but so far it seems like this unit doesn't compact as well as the older one did. It works but I'm not sure the force is still there like it was. But it does work and these are a dying breed of appliance. In fact the salesman at Home Depot said he couldn't remember the last time he sold one. But we like having them and they do eliminate the need for a free standing trash can. I'm cautiously optimistic.

This unit replaced an older KitchenAid compactor. It's quiet. Our old one had the on-off mechanisms on the outside. They are internal on this one, which means the grandkids aren't constantly flipping the switches. The foot switch for activation is handy and the overall look is clean.

Part of a kitchen remodel to replace a 25 year old Kitchenaide compactor. Great unit, but the old unit had controls on the outside, this one has them on the inside and solid pack stays in effect until you run the cycle and open the unit.
