[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased 3 months ago. I was under the impression that this unit had the hold feature to compaction but it does not. I have not research to see if the unit was a substitute as we purchased on line form Whirlpool. Overall the unit works well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new compactor is quieter but that is the only plus. It is cheaply made , it does not crush and hold it down, It is not going to last 30 plus years like my last one for sure. Made cheaply, cost much more!!!.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As trash compactors go, it's probably better than average these days, but the housing seems insubstantial (i.e., cheaply made), and the foot pedal for compaction is easy to trigger by mistake. For the price we had expected better quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It does the job it is supposed to but is much louder than our previous compactor.

One major shortcoming

With the lower front foot switch, the front cabinet is not adequately strengthened. It is tinney and very flexible. For a product of this cost a little added structure would give it a much better feel. If you are considering purchaseing this item be sure and see it in person prior to buying. Other than this it works great and has great compacting power.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice Looking on the Outside!

I bought two of these units in May 2015 and waited several weeks for them to arrive. Now I have them and they both operate in a very strange way. When you press the floor pedal, the trash drawers kick hard to right banging the adjacent cabinet and then they rattle and vibrate as the drawer opens out towards you. The root cause is that the drawers are out of sqaure. I know this because I compared the drawers to my old Whirlpool units from 15 years ago. Those drawers are square and they open sttraight out, nice and smooth. Whirlpool clearly has a factory assembly quality issue with these units! So, if you want trash compactors that bang your cabinets when they open and rattle, these would be good units to own.

Minimial compactor

The compactor does exactly what it is to do, compact trash. It is minimal, would suggest if you really want a thorough compact, get a different model.
