Rated 4 out of 5 by Debbie from Kitchenaid Trash Compactor We purchased this trash compactor a month ago as our 12 year old Kitchenaid Superba model was worn out and needed replacing. We were dissappointed that the Superba is no longer available as it was an incredible trash compacor and we loved the external controls. We purchased the Architect Series trash compactor and are pleased with the power and appearance. We find that the door/trash container does not seem as heavy duty as our previous one. We love our Kitchenaid appliances,(Micro-Oven combo.,stovetop,dishwasher and trash compactor,mixer)and plan to continue using your products.

Rated 4 out of 5 by mom_o_three from Works great--needs better install instructions. I made sure to include this Kitchenaid integrated trash compactor in my new kitchen. It works great for my family of 5 -- and all of our company! I no longer have to stop what I'm doing to make sure my trash can is emptied. I do suggest you include better installation instructions. Apparently this is not a common appliance in southwest Florida. My kitchen contractor and cabinet installer have struggled to get it installed so the integrated panel lines up correctly without showing 2" of mechanical stuff on the bottom...we're still struggling to get it installed correctly.

Rated 2 out of 5 by lovebatonrouge from Had to call a repairman the day it was installed Our contractor installed this unit with a cabinet front on it. Attaching the cabinet front and getting it square with the rest of the cabinetry was a challenge due to the flimsy construction of the area the wood attaches to. Once he got it in the first time we ran it the unit started shaking violently at the end of cycle. We called out the local dealer and they covered all the repairs under warranty but it took three different part changes to get it to work properly. We are hoping it will last.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LuckyEnough from KitchenAid trash compactor I'm one of those women who thinks a well equipped kitchen ALWAYS includes a trash compactor. I've had three homes in the last twenty years and every one has included this. Just moved to the 3rd house and yep, first thing installed. Never had a single problem with any trash compactor from Kitchenaid and that about says it all as to why I keep buying them. A quality appliance that lasts for years. I can't give a higher recommendation.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Scribbles from Nice Looking and Easy to Use We installed this compactor in our new home, have been using it about 6 weeks and we are happy with the appliance. Easily opens with the foot pedal and the compacting is also with a foot pedal instead of a knob. Easy to change the bag, too. One feature that would be a nice upgrade to the air freshener is to have it on a timer as opposed to it is either on (and loud) or off.

Rated 5 out of 5 by J from 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.

Rated 1 out of 5 by D-Reds from Poor Quality Made terrible. First the gear kit was replaced now the motor drive went. Called Kitchen Aid and they were NOT helpful at all! I felt like they could care less at the end of the day they still got paid. Do not buy this product you will be disappointed. Why can't they make something that last?

Rated 1 out of 5 by Newhome21 from Cheap I bought this compactor a year ago. Build quality is very cheap. Door is plumb and level when closed but crooked when opened. took a chunk of our cabinets out. Kitchenaid was no help. Local dealer no help. Will not buy Kitchenaid again. Including dishwasher.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Georgiacook from The KitchenAid trash compactor met all of my expectations. The KitchenAid trash compactor has made my life easier by cutting down on the number of trash bags. The compactor is quiet and efficient. I recommend it for its stylish good looks and ease of use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AZ1234 from Perfect fit I bought this to complete the panel ready appliances in my kitchen. Fits perfectly in the standard space I had. The panel was easy for the carpenter to build and attach.
