Great kitchen addition

I had this put in our new home as a last minute addition never owning a trash compactor before. This one is easy to use, attractive and quiet. We now take out the trash once a week and there is no smell, even on day 7. I even empty my other trash can in it. I am so happy I made the decision to buy this and would recommend to anyone.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Kitchenaid Trash Compactor
on April 2, 2015

I had this installed along with my other stainless steel appliances; I love it, It is streamlined and the stainless steel elevates it far above a 'trash container! Compacts the trash very effectively, and has a slot for an air freshner that works great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We purchased this compactor to replace a previous unit. Service had to be done within two weeks as a retaining pin in the foot button had fallen out as it had no retainer. This unit has a door release at the bottom made of plastic. When the door is closed the plastic bar makes a rattle which indicates how cheaply it is built. There is no way a designer for this product did not hear the sound but obviously did not care.

Dear Vern Nelson:

Thank you for your review.

Unfortunately, there is no way to change the design of the trash compactor. However, if you feel that the unit is not working as designed, we suggest for an accurate diagnosis and satisfactory addressing of any malfunctioning component that may be contributing to your concern that you contact our Customer Experience Center at 1-800-253-1301.

It is through customer feedback that we are able to correct, and make changes to, our products in respect to their quality and overall design. KitchenAide understands that valued customers, like you, are why we are in business. We sincerely regret the frustration and inconvenience you experienced, and we can be of no other assistance with this concern except to forward a copy of your concerns to the appropriate departments for review in future design consideration.

Sincerely,
Andre W.

Horrible
on April 28, 2014

Verified Purchase:No
I love the sleek look, but can't believe I spent this much money on a piece of junk. The latch will not stay down, the front feels like it is loose & will fall off. the peddle that starts the packing process comes off due to the pin not staying in hole. control does not work properly. When not on pack it makes a horrible noise when finishing a squash.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
