Clean and Neat Look.

I installed it by myself. After that it was just a plug and play. So far it is performing as expected. It has a tough example to follow - it is replacing the compactor that I originally installed in 1995, time will tell.

Complete Failure!

I have only compacted my trash a couple of times in the 75 days that I have had this trash compactor. The Compactor RAM starts on its own. The RAM is now at a weird angle and has bent the trash drawer. The compactor no longer works, it was only installed on 9/15. I am very disappointed in the quality of this product. It was very expensive, we are a two member household and have treated this appliance with care, there is no reason for the product failure.
