Product review (2 stars): Do not buy this compactor
There are multiple reasons to stay away from Electrolux appliances, but the compactor is the worst.  My wife and I were convinced by a dealer that Electrolux was a quality brand and bought a compactor, over, dishwasher and refrigeration.  At the 6 month mark we replaced the dishwasher with a Miele, because the glasses were never clean.  The drying cycle left water on everything, but the glasses were completely spotty.  The Miele is great and no problems.  The compactor's motor broke in the 11th month after we bought it.  There is no one in the Washington Dc area that services the Electrolux compactor and perfect timing for the warrant to run out.  Anyway, the front door swings open and the handle hits the cabinets.  This is a problem after awhile our cabinet is wearing at the spot of contact.  The drawer must be pulled out manually.  This is a problem if your hands are full.  First you must pull open the door, hold it so it doesn't slam into the cabinet and then reach and pull out the trash area.  The trash bags are crazy expensive and there is no other bag that fits, you must buy from Electrolux.

Kenmore is sooo much better, but a bit louder.

The refrigerator drawers are cheaply made and do not line up correctly.  In two months the decals on the over had worn off.

Stay away from Electrolux..
