[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had purchased different brand earlier this year and were disappointed that it didn't compact trash like our old one did. Our dealer allowed us to exchange it for the Kitchen Aid and we love it.

Trash Compactor Still Great

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a Kitchenaid trash compactor in our old house, so when we built our new home, we definitely wanted another one. Some people think it's old school, but it's efficient, clean and looks great.

Reliable product replacement for kitchen

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My old KitchenAid compactor finally stop working after 15 years. The new KitchenAid compactor model KTTS505ESS fits in the original space under my countertop. I am happy with the design change and updated features this one has. I live in an area in Texas where there is no trash service so having this compactor is a must.

Looks great and is quiet

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great features that I will probably never use (odor fan). I only put dry trash in my compactor (garbage disposer) and NO glass, since we recycle. My last compactor (Jenn Aire made by Whirlpool) lasted me 40 years. I expect the same quality service from this Kitchenaid also made by Whirlpool.

Great Trash Compactor

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this new compactor to replace one I installed 18 years ago, and am very happy with the current version! The interior controls make the front of the compactor very streamlined (the old model had the controls on the outside of the panel). The drawer rolls in and out very smoothly, and the foot control to compact the trash is a great feature! It's a bit quieter than the old model, but still quite noticeable when the compactor is run.

Excellent purchase

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replaced previous compactor 22 years old and couldn’t be more satisfied. Much more quiet.

Works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love the lock in down position feature, it helps the trash to stay compacted really well. On our old compactor we had to turn the key off and it was a guessing game on when to turn it off.

Great find

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does a good job of trying on dry cycle. Opens by pressing the top which is so cool.
