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.

In summary: I wish I hadn't purchased this. I purchased it because it was all I could find available. It does not have a very useful feature. I would not buy this model again. I would not recommend this model. I regret buying this compactor. I am not satisfied with the purchase. 15 years ago we moved into our current home and replaced the appliances, including the existing compactor. We purchased a Kenmore and while we complained about how loud it was, it did an excellent job. It died two weeks ago and we found ourselves in July 2021 trying to buy an appliance. Supplies have been very limited and our choice was made for us. We purchased this unit because it was the only one that had a promised delivery before October/November 2021. It was delivered in 1 week, as promised at purchase. The compactor looks good and installed easily. Unfortunately, it is actually louder than the old Kenmore it replaced. The worst thing is that it has just 1 job, and it doesn't do it nearly as well as its predecessor. It just doesn't pack the trash as tight. Part of it is due to the lack of a heavy pack function, but even without that, the normal pack just isn't as tight, and since the point is to compact the trash into a smaller volume, it just isn't very good at its job. If I have to purchase another compactor, I will only buy one with a heavy pack function. I wish I could have waited to buy a new compactor, but unfortunately this was the best I could get right now.

Slimmer than the old one we replaced. No handle makes it look more streamlined and matches out GE dishwasher.
