Customer Reviews for Maytag 15 in. Built-In Trash Compactor in Black

My 37 year old Kitchaide 18" Trash Compactor finally gave out. The 15" May tag Trash Compactor is twice as Fast, opens easier and compacts 3 garbage contents into one. Better controls including Charcoal Filter + and ram can stay down to compact even more.

With the Controls I can Filter the odor and keep the down position of the Ram down for even more Impaction. Can open with foot Pedal. Has Large Convenient Pull Handle to Open.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this in our new Colorado home along with all other appliances in the kithen from Maytag

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are very pleased with the undercounter trash compactor. It is much quieter than we expected. The ONLY complaint is that there were NO COMPACTORS in the Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel so the compactor finish is slightly different than our other appliances. We are probably the only ones that notice!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never owned a trash compactor. This appliance looks so good. That's really why I bought it and I installed it myself. It fits flush under the counter. "Honney, please take out the trash", 80% less. Maytag gets it. Thank you, your friend, Relaxin'- Rick.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this to replace one we had had for 10 years. The Maytag has some nice features, the foot pedal is easy to operate. The filter fan is a bit noisy so we rarely use it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great, I can put a weeks worth of trash in it before I need to change the bag. We would use 4 to 5 bag a week before we purchase this compactor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The old trash compactor I had broke after 28 years and I did without one for a few months and sure did miss it. I purchased this one and I am very happy with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We're able to decrease our trash output to one bag per week and pay less for trash service now. Machine is quiet for a compactor and is quite attractive. The only minor downfall is the door makes a muted clunk when it closes. I would assume it's part of the design to keep it tightly closed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy had a jenn air previous home love the look.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only thing I wish it was insulated otherwise nice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this two months ago and have been generally pleased with it. It compacts trash better than our previous GE model, is very easy to open and close, and load and unload compactor bags.That said, the model is not as quiet as I thought it was touted - about as loud as the kitchen disposal for the short period it runs. Also, the charcoal fan seemed to be pretty unnecessary - at least we don't have enough stinky garbage to warrant the fan purring constants in the background.Overall, it's mechanically sound. It compacts trash well, operates simply, and is solidly built so it seems like it will hold up for years to come. It is a bit pricey and a little louder than I thought but it's not that bad. I'd buy it again compared to what's out there. I'd prefer they make a less expensive version without the charcoal filter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works as advertized.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No problems so far. Woks as it should.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had our Maytag compactor for three months. We are very pleased, it's easy to use and quiet. I recommend this if you are looking to purchase a trash compactor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We wanted a quiet compactor, as our kitchen is open to our family room. This unit is extremely quiet. It does an excellent job of compacting. The extra pack feature works extremely well, and allows you to compact a large amount of trash into a brick. There is also a air filter option, but we haven't had a need to use it. My only suggestion for improvement would be the appearance of the handle. It's big and bulky and I wish it were less substantial. Fortunately, it's in an area where it's not highly visible.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am happy to have this compactor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] New home. Was broken when it was installed and have had to have it worked on twice and parts replaced.

The unit was very easy to install, as it was replacing our old unit. It works very well. The only drawback is the rather awkward foot pedal to open it.

I know it's 1/3 horsepower. How many pounds of pressure?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks great and works great. Just wish it had a light that showed the Power Pack was on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I installed this compactor myself. Installation took about 1 hour. Instructions were easy to follow and all went well. I'm very happy with performance. The unit is quiet, has a fan if there are odors from material compacted that vents them into a filter--eliminating any odors--and controls are intuitive. I think it is really nice looking--I'm gradually converting a hodgepodge of different appliances (white, stainless, black) into all-black) and this appliance is kind of "understated cool".

The delivery people were fantastic, it was delivered when they said, easy to install. Great product

The unit has only been in for about 10 days. It was very easy to install, nothing exceptional about setting it up and very easy to use. Hasn't been in long enough to talk about quality and durability but it feels solid, the door opens very easy with the foot pedal, my wife worries about the number of times it is opened every day and is afraid the door slide is going to break, time will tell, flick the switch and it operates. It looks good under the counter and feels very solid. Time will tell how well it holds up to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleasantly surprised by how good this is. Our old compactor from 1983 was built like a tank, and just went out after 33 years. I thought the replacement would never compare after reading reviews of the current ones available (not Maytag, just all compactors), but this is better than the old one!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this unit two weeks ago to replace an old unit. Very quiet and does a great job.

Bought this online only knew it was a Maytag No adjustments were made to it by the installer It shakes and rattles and sticks at the toe when you try to open it I called the company that delivered it and said obviously you aren't the people I contact for an exchange.I wanted a customer service number of Home Depot from her. She said I would have to call the manufacturer! I have contacted online customer service online to get in touch. So far nothing except this "How'd we do" review request.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a splurge but one with no regrets. Contemporary, easy to use, easy to install.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We took delivery of this compactor about 3 weeks ago. It was just a bit shorter than our previous Maytag compactor but fit fine in the existing space. Hoping to get the same great service from this device that we got from the previous one (30+ years!). Much cleaner look that the old one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with the performance! It is fantastic!
