Nice smooth open/close function. Sleek appearance though lack of anyplace to touch for closing leaves a lot of fingerprints on stainless front.

On my second unit - same defect

Installed this compactor in September and it lasted 6 weeks before the ram crashed, got stuck, and damaged the bin. Finally managed to get the ram to go back up so the repair man could access the unit. It was determined that the rod on one side of the unit had stripped and the ram came down crooked. So 4 months later I got a new unit and used it for 2 weeks before the ram would not go down. Supposedly this unit can be repaired, but it is the same issue with the rod being stripped on one side. At least it did not damage the bin this time. I don't have high hopes that the repair will be the last one.
