Ratings & Reviews for Whirlpool 15-in White-on-White Built-in/Freestanding Trash Compactor

Very convient

If you are elderly and expect them to deliver it, unpack it and set it where you want, be ready for a surprise! The young man who delivered it brought it in (first thing he said, "do you want it in the garage?") Why would I want my new trash compactor in the garage!! Then he took it in the kitchen and set it beside my old one, box and all, took a picture and said where is the old one. I said aren't you going to unpack it? He said I didn't pay for that service! But he did eventually unpack ...

Waste of money

Purchased about 2 years ago. Had to wait about 60 days and the machine is garbage. Didn’t compress good, noisy, and now makes a horrible sound and won’t stop until it is turned off, won’t compress and now the buttons to turn on and off don’t work. We previously owned a Kenmore and it was amazing, after 20+ yrs, we had to buy a new one and kenmore doesn’t make them anymore. DO NOT BUY!!!!!

Broken at 6 months

After 6 months of use, the ram wouldn't stop. It got 'fixed' and was told it was just jammed. 12 months later, it's 'jammed' again but now that it's not under warrantee so they will not pay for service to fix it again even though it's a recurrent problem. Message: They won't stand by their products or make good on selling me a lemon.

Not the quality of my old one

Actually compared to my original one I would give it 2 stars but the industry has changed. It seems very flimsy and shy of quality materials that are built to last. I was told I would only get 6 years out of it. My last one lasted 30 years. So I don't expect it to last..the quality isn't there. It seems to work well enough but having to have it 1/2 full before compacting seems odd. Quite honestly I'm afraid to use it much because I'm concerned it will break. It's not that nice to look at ...

Worked for 15 days

Ordered this trash compactor to replace one that had stopped working after 10 years. Same brand, same color, hoping it would be new and improved. Ordered from Lowes. 3 week wait for it to arrive in store. Not Lowes fault. Picked it up, brought it home, unpacked it, set it in place, leveled it, plugged it in and started using it. The start button felt wonky from day one but figured it was stiff because it was new. Worked as it should from April 7th until April 22nd but the start button was...

EVERY HOUSE SHOULD HAVE ONE!!

This is our THIRD compactor of this make. It really saves on trips out to the garbage can. Prior to having one it is one trip a day. Now it is two trips a week. Leaves a lot of room in the collection can for waste from other areas. Each of the previous two lasted about ten years.

Good while it worked

We were excited when the compactor finally became available. It worked as described for just over a year. Just a month or two after the warranty expired it stopped working. The gears would not engage. There is an expectation when one spends this kind of money, the product will last years more.

A LITTLE LOUD

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] iT WORKS FIND A LITTLE HARD TO OPEN AND IS LOUD BUT WE LOVE A TRASH COMPACTOR.

It's OK.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works well, but it would be nice if the door lined up straight.

Not built well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I should have reviewed this a little more thoroughly.

Just okay

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased September 2 and was supposed to receive September 24. Received like a month later than Expected. Definitely not built as well as my previous two Kenmore trash compactor does not compact as well. And much louder. Had my first two at 12 and 13 years respectively do not expect to get more than five years out of this one at best. Does not have the extra pack feature that I like in my other two. Definitely would not recommend.

Very quiet and efficient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice appliance, a couple of months old. More complicated to run than older model. Somewhat complicated to run, and unfortunately does not have actual drying cycle.

We love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a ongth ago and loved it. Our other one broke and we tried to live with just a trash can but realized it was a pain. So we ordered this trash compactor and we are so happy we got another one. This compactor is quieter than our previous one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks and works great. Hard to find these things now a days

Works great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This replaced a Whirlpool compactor that was installed in 1988. It lasted 37 years. So, if this on lasts that long, we'll be happy until I'm 114.
