great look but odd with no external handle
on October 10, 2023
Posted by: GE long timer
from IN
I replaced a former GE trash compactor that had a very long life and great performance. I expect the same with this new one. However, I am in disbelief that there is no external handle. Yes, it looks nice but all my other GE appliances have handles so introduces a mismatch. Practically, it is awkward to use as you step on the floor plate to nudge the door open but then you have put your hand in the opening and pull the slide out. Then you push in on the outside front panel and your fingers mark up the front.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Foot Pedal Fails!
on October 11, 2023
Posted by: John Beard
from Cortland, NY
The Great thing about this Compactor is the foot Pedal. The Weak point of this Compactor is the Foot Pedal. The design is Flawed. The Pedal pivots on s Small Screw Shoulder which wears out both the screw and the hole in about 1 Year. Just after Warranty. You must buy the Pedal to get the Screw and buy the Bin to get a new Hole.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Easy install and it looks great.
This unit replaced a 45 year old GE compactor, I hope this one last just as long.

Great compactor so far!! Replaced my Whirlpool compactor with this one- GE is quieter, fit perfect and more sleek looking without controls showing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Quiet and easy one foot operation
on November 5, 2023
Posted by: SteveX
Install took some time in very old cabinet but worked out well. Madam and I like the simple foot pedal operation which is much quieter than the previous compactor.
