Weak compaction
on March 23, 2025

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.

Design Flaw in the Toe Pedal
on March 27, 2025
Posted by: 247DesertDweller
This compactor couldn't even live up to the abuse of a 7 year old child. The footboard/Toe Pedal will break because of poor Pivot Hole Design. Many customers have complained about this issue with this model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Only opens an inch automatically.
on April 9, 2025

I like the compactor but it only opens about an inch when you step on the bar. I haven’t manually pull the compactor open. I have had several compactors over the years and this vice only one I’ve ever owned that didn’t open further automatically.

We'd like to assist you with your compactor. The drawer is designed to open about 7” with a firm push of the foot pedal. There is a spring in the back to assist with the opening. Once you open the drawer with the foot pedal, you will need to pull on the drawer by hand to get to the full open position.
Your comment regarding the compactor is important to us. We will be sure to pass this information along to our product design team for review.

Only opens far enough for you to manually open the rest of the way.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

stopped working after 2 years
on May 3, 2025
Posted by: cafe compactor
from TN
This compactor was installed 2 1/2 years ago and has stopped working. Had a certified GE repair out that said they didn't know what was wrong and they couldn't order parts or fix it. I will be contacting GE to see if they can help me with this!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Unhappy that the product does not have a handle
on May 15, 2025
Posted by: carolynjaret
from Tucson, AZ
I do not like the fact that the trash compactor does not come with a handle to open and close the compartment. Unfortunately, the ones that did come with that were quite a bit more expensive.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
