This is awesome. Expensive but worth it. Our local authority has dropped our rubbish collection to once a month, leading me to find an alternative to the prospect of taking our rubbish to the tip. This is it. A family of 4, recycling everything else, is only filling this compactor once a week, resulting in space in our grey bin at the end of each month. Robust, unobtrusive and very elegant (it is JJ after all!!!!) it is also a beautiful thing to look at too without taking up too much room in the kitchen. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend (and have already done so.)
