Product review (2 stars): we've had this compactor 1.5 years
This compactor had motor issues.  We had a GE for 24 years with no problems.  We had to get rid of the GE because of rust in the bin.  This model from Broan was working fine.  It didn't have as much compacting force, but it worked well and was quieter.  After a year and a half, the motor has gone sour.  It will be approx. $200 to get it fixed.  We spent $785 for the unit.  No.  We will go with the standard kitchen trash bin from now on.
