Trash Compactor is TRASH!
on May 22, 2025
Posted by: Jacob72
from Puerto Rico
I purchased this unit over 1 year ago, so it is out of warranty. Even though it wasn't installed until 11 months ago. Regardless, you don't expect an appliance to malfunction in this short of a window. When you run a compact, it compacts, but will not stop.
And I had these shipped to puerto rico with many other appliances I purchased for a remodel. Now that I need service, I find out they don't service trash compactors in Puerto Rico!!! Wish I had known that before buying it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are extremely sorry to hear of your experience with this trash compactor.
If an appliance made for use in the U.S. is taken to another country, it can void the warranty. While we do recommend service for this unit, we do not service appliances outside of the US.

Will we have better luck the second time around?

This is our second GE Profile Trash Compactor. We purchased our last compactor seven years ago and were very happy with just about every aspect of it: the capacity was tremendous; we were able to go at least a full week before having to empty the compactor and change to a new bag. We never had a problem with the functioning of the machine during the time we had it, and did not find it to be overly noisy. While I would not call the compacting cycle quiet, the cycle is brief enough that the sound from the compacting cycle is not a major distraction. Our only real complaint with the GE trash compactor was its lifespan. Seven years seems to be an unreasonably short lifespan. If a repair had been possible, I would be singing a different song. But to be told that GE was no longer making replacement parts is not acceptable IMHO! Planned obsolescence after a seven-year run is not the mark of a quality brand! If we have the same experience with our new GE Trash Compactor, it will also be our last GE Trash Compactor. Wish us luck, please!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Choose another brand if you can
on May 31, 2025
Posted by: badq45t
This is the only compactor that will fit into my 26+ year old kitchen design. I had a KitchenAid that lasted 20 years and installed the previous version of this model which had 4 service calls in 5 years and was totalled as parts were not available. I woudln't choose this if you can fit another brand, the GE construction as with all their products is sub-par. I have a dishwasher from them as it was the only one that fit with 3 service calls already in 3 years.

Won't last
on July 2, 2025
Posted by: Hee Hee
I have only had this trash compactor a little over a year and it is already broken and leaking fluids from the mechanism that runs it. I have owned trash compactors for over 30 years and I have never had one fail in less than 20 years before. This is not a good product.

Nice features, has all I need.

Capacity is good, not too noisy, performance has been good, this GE Compactor has a nice sleek look in stainless steel. It feels like it will be durable for years to come. My last compactor last 30 years and I expect this one to last as long; although, I am not going to last that long. Have a Blessed Day, from a little old lady.

First time compactor buyer

The trash compactor works great. It is a bit noisy and the capacity isn't what I thought it was. Overall, I think that I would buy it again.
I would recommend this to a friend!
