Product review (3 stars): The electronics has died leaving the unit useless. We did have storms last night
I purchased 2 of these in 2010.  Today, one died. The electronics has died leaving the unit useless.  We did have storms last night, but i have a home theater, computers, network equipment and even a PoE clock system - all are fine. Breaker didn't trip on the compactor or any other. The track in the drawer on this compactor failed several times that I repaired. Made in China - take note.. So I will be swapping out the two units and scrapping this dead one.  Seems like a $1200.00 compactor would last longer...but here, it's a 50/50 and now curious how long the other one will last. Oh, the other unit was unplugged, so I cant say it was lightning/surge or just old age.
