On my second unit - same defect
on March 29, 2022
Posted by: Lash65
from Arizona
Installed this compactor in September and it lasted 6 weeks before the ram crashed, got stuck, and damaged the bin. Finally managed to get the ram to go back up so the repair man could access the unit. It was determined that the rod on one side of the unit had stripped and the ram came down crooked. So 4 months later I got a new unit and used it for 2 weeks before the ram would not go down. Supposedly this unit can be repaired, but it is the same issue with the rod being stripped on one side. At least it did not damage the bin this time. I don't have high hopes that the repair will be the last one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello- We are so sorry to hear your new compactor didn't work right out of the box. This is not the ownership experience we want for you and your family. We see that you currently have a case and will request your manager reach out to you as soon as they are able. We appreciate your patience in waiting to hear from us. Thank you! Joyce@GEA

Sleek design
on August 2, 2022
Posted by: Deb122
from Ft. Morgan, CO
The compactor works great mechanically. I like the hands free activation provided by the foot pedal for opening the unit and activating the compaction feature. I wish there was a handle as an option for closing the unit rather than pushing against it with your hand or leg. This lack of handle gives a sleek design look but leaves the front panel in a perpetual state of smudges.
I would recommend this to a friend!

stopped working after 2 weeks.
on September 12, 2022
Posted by: Teohuy
Had it for 2 weeks, then it stopped compacting the trash. Also, my old compactor opens all the way out when pedaled down. This one doesn't open out, one has to use hand to pull it out after pedaled down.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
