Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Standing up to the heavy use it gets!

Barbbdahl 12/4/2019

I have a large family, which translates to a large amount of waste. So far this compactor has withstood the onslaught. Also, stainless is easy to keep clean. Only downside is how expensive it was.

Beautiful Addition

Curly & Candy 11/29/2019

We just got done with the kitchen remodeling and we must say this trash compactor looks beautiful next to all of the other new appliances (Samsung). The sound and ease of operating makes this a great buy for any home remodeling.

Very Dissapointed

Disappointed 117 11/27/2019

I was hoping for better. I paid several hundred dollars extra to get a Kitchenaid. I could have gotten the Whirpool which was cheaper but had terrible reviews. Was I wrong. I found out that following the acquisition several years ago Kitchenaid is now owned by Whirlpool and the machines are manufactured by Whirlpool. All I can say is the quality is Terrible. The frame appears to have been assembled incorrectly, the alignment is awful and it whole unit is junk! Stay away from these Companies. Don't pay $1300. for a piece of garbage. I'm very worried that if they agree to replace the unit the next one will be even worse.

Hidden controls

Gabbyjg 10/1/2019

This is the second Kitchen Aid compactor. I love that it compacts so well. My first one had the controls on the exterior. This one looks nice, but there is a huge handle and for someone unfamiliar with trash compactors your first inclination would be to open it with the handle not the foot pedal. I'm not sure if pulling on the handle will eventually damage anything.

Quiet & efficient

EM+JH 9/12/2019

Our trash compactor is wonderfully quiet & efficient. This is our first compactor & we're so glad we chose Kitchenaid - described as quieter my the sale person & it truly is. What is so great is we can recycle more - the compactor assures our recycling can isn't overflowing.

Carl and Linda 8/24/2019

We replaced our 15+ year old Kitchenaid compactor. Very easy, push-pull. Works great. I really like the new foot pedal compaction trigger versus the older dial. This time, we went with Kitchenaid compactor bags to prevent stuff spilling over the sides of the bag. Works great and well worth it.

Kitchenaid - Excellent Value For the Price Point!

VintageFlyBoy64 8/2/2019

I recently replaced all of the built in kitchen appliances in my home as part of a remodel. Out with the 15 year old Sub Zero, Bosch, Wolf and in with an entirely new suite of Kitchenaid. Half the price of the high end brands, but equal the quality and no issues ever with getting parts or repairs done. Kitchenaid is the right combination of quality, esthetics and value!

I purchased this compactor to use as my recycle container as its a long walk to the garage to take things out there. I was replacing my 20 year old one that I used the same way. It worked fine, I was just changing to all stainless appliances. it's works great for that use for me.

I thought these were unnecessary until we had on

52Dave 5/30/2019

Trash Compactor. I always thought they were just a waste of a product. Then we bought a house that had one. It broke and we needed to replace it. These are special orders. The first one was damaged from shipping. So had to re order a new one. During the down time about eight weeks we realized how much we actually liked having one and finally the new one came and we reinstalled it ourselves better than the one that came with the house new. If we ever move we will make sure the house has one. It is just a door open away from properly disposing garbage. KitchenAid makes the best one as this is the second one.

Ordered several weeks from "big box" store. It was worth the weight! Installed it myself in one afternoon. How hard is it to plug in?! This compactor meets all my favorite expectations and desires. Sharp looking appliance!!

Love my KitchenAid compactor

KenB154 5/1/2019

I had my KichenAid compactor for 17 years before it needed replacing. My home warranty company wanted to replace it with another cheaper brand. I paid an additional $380 upgrade to get my KitchenAid compactor, and I don't regret my decision. I love my new compactor, it's so nice.

Close But No Cigar

Atlanta50 4/25/2019

There are several issues. First, the requirement that the drawer be lifted to close and open is inconvenient. I realize that the lifting can be accomplished by stepping on the foot control, but it's just not as convenient as my last unit. This operation is also questionable because of the additional force required to close the drawer resulting in additional stress on the mounting hardware over time. Second, the location of the compaction and fan controls is inconvenient. Why they aren't located on a front panel and not "behind closed doors" is puzzling. If this is a "safety" design, I give it a fail on the "ease of use" design. Third, the use of a pedal control is puzzling. I've asked several family members and not one liked it. Neither do I. This is like a throwback to the times when a floorboard switch was used for the high beams on the car. I bought this appliance based on name-brand confidence. If I'd looked beforehand I would probably have bought another design.

Always have to compact two times

JoniB 4/1/2019

When we engage the compactor, the next time we go to open the drawer we cannot. We must compact a second time to then be able to open the drawer.

Great quality

We love our new compactor. It is working perfectly. It is very durable and quiet for this type of appliance. It matches great with our other stainless steel appliances. I would definitely recommend it!

Attractive

Jcookie18 3/24/2019

Door seems loose. Wiggles easily side-to-side. Wish it had a more firm and steady feel. I'm not crazy about the small pedal to activate the compactor. A bit hard to hit with the foot since its so close to our island cabinet trim.

Sleek design

So far so good. The pedal to depress to start the compacting is awkwardly placed so it's easy to miss.
