Good, but poor engineering design choices.

Loved it for 2 years until a design error caused the pedal to come loose and pose a safety hazard. A pivot hole for the pedal is metal on metal and very close the the edge, resulting in the hole expanding and pulling out. Typical design standards are 1.5D to 2.5D edge distance. These two holes are <0.5D - violating good engineering practice. Hopefully GE will rectify the problem.

Good, but could be improved.

This is the second time that I have purchased this compactor. The reason that I purchased it again is because the foot pedal broke after only 3 years. After the repairman looked at it, he told me that the foot pedal could not be repaired and that I would have to replace the whole drawer that it would cost almost as much as it would be to purchase a new compactor. We had a trash compactor in another house that lasted over 15 years, but it had a handle to open and close the drawer so the only time you used the foot pedal was to compact the trash.
The manufacturer needs to improve their design so that it won't break as easily or that it can be repaired.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wonderful product. When our previous compactor expired, I realized how much we took it for granted. Definitely needed to replace it quickly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cool Compacting Appliance

We have been using our compactor for about 3 weeks, and we love it. Definitely helps cut down on filling up our garbage can every other day. We’re taking out our garbage about every 5 days.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Breaks frequently, since they say I bought it. always getting repaired. At least been repairs 4 times. Repairs and parts cost more than what I paid for it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We definitely understand the importance of an appliance operating as designed for a long period of time. However, it is not possible to determine the product failure rate. There are multiple variables involved such as frequency of use, type of use, location of appliance, care, and maintenance. In some cases, it may be more cost effective to replace the unit opposed to repairing the unit depending on the age of the appliance or the vitality of the part needing to be replaced.

Weak compaction

Mu previous garbage compactor lasted for 35 years, motor finally gave in. This new compactor does not have the compaction compression as my previous one. Very inefficient. Disappointed with purchase.
