They are good if you pay for your garbage by volume several cities in our area have gone that way. One bag per pickup (large size supplied by city). You can buy more but very expensive. |

I bought one 2nd hand when we moved out into the country in 92. It's a Kenmore and it was Avocado green. I bought some spray appliance paint and repainted it white, there were extra front color panels behind panel showing on the door..like they do with dishwashers. It's very handy, Sears carries both plastic or heavy paper, waxed, to fit them. We didn't pay much for it, probably around $50 . You find them quite often in the classifieds 2nd hand. Consider the 2nd hand route, it's much cheaper, there isn't a lot to them to break down and if you do end up not liking it you haven't wasted your money. If you love it then you might consider a new one later on but what the heck for, the old Kenmores look pretty much like the new ones. If I was redoing the kitchen I would have a new built in installed, even if I did live in the city and weight or bag count wasn't a concern for city garbage collection, I like it that much. |

...used...great idea. And I have a space for it from where I ripped out an 18" wide DW. The space is now a perfect 15". A full sized unit was installed on the other side of the sink. (UGH) I had to move the whole base cabinet 3" over and re-plumb to get the necessary 24" Man-oh-man the things we do to have the "perfect" appliance. |

The recycling and deposits on containers seem to have killed off a lot of the interest and sales in home compactors.Seems like the largest market for them is in the larger compactors and balers for commercial,, industrial , and gov't use. |

Along with the original KitchenAid design garbage disposers, Viking seems to have acquired the design of the 18" KA compactor. CLICK HERE TO GO TO deeptub's LINK |
