I have had this compactor for 5 months and the motor broke! Not repairable so waiting to hear from GE about a replacement. Hoping the new one will last longer.

First trash compactor I've ever owned... and so far I'm impressed. We live out in the middle of nowhere, and have to drive our trash 25-minutes each way to take it to a transfer station. Less trips is better, especially at $4 per gallon gas. The system works well... and I was concerned about the bags to use. Tried the original OEM bags, and couldn't stand how expensive they were. Ended up using cheap bags (and punching a hole for the mounting pins) to decrease the cost.. The unit is easy to run (too easy sometimes; we hit the "run" thing with our feet accidentally pretty frequently... so we leave it off until we want to run it. No big deal. When it's running, it's a little on the loud side, but I would have expected as much. What I wish was included was some sort of charcoal/filter system that would help to decrease the "trash" small after a few days. The unit does as good a job at compaction (so much so that we can go about a week with the same bag), but by day 4-5 it's smelly. After only 1 month of working with this thing, we love it.
