Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.
Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future.
Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies.
It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.
Appliances
can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new
appliances
should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

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.

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.

Does not compact. GE sent 2 service people, 1st one said "this model does not compact!"" so GE sent a 2nd who said maybe after using for a while it will have less tension on the spring on bottom and will compact" It is useless. Definitely, not GE quality.

Smash your Trash

3/18/2022
While it took many months to finally receive the trash compactor, we are happy with the UCG1520NSS. We were accustomed to having a handle to open the trash compactor, but we have adjusted to exclusively using the foot pedal to open the unit. The ability to "stay in the compacted" position is no longer present, but it isn't absolutely necessary. The motor has a much higher pitch than the old unit, but it appears to work. Just sounds like a little motor compared to the old one. We are happy with the compactor and would reccomend this model.

Never worked once installed. Compactor did not open by itself. One had to pull it out and then push it back in. Then the first time I tried to compact anything it got stuck and broke. Food was in it and couldn't get service in for three weeks and home smelled terribly.

This is my second one. Installed one in previous home. This one was a piece of cake to level and position within the cabinet. It's simple to operate with a flip of your foot. One thing I don't like compared to older model is that the handle has been removed. Even though it opens by pressing the lever with your foot one dings touching the top edge to fully extend it. You can see the fingerprints gathering on the top ends even before using.

We haven't even had this 3 weeks yet, but so far so good. It seems to compact trash well, looks good (except I wish the "stainless" finish was a bit more fingerprint forgiving), and functions as we need it to. My only concern at this point is the longterm quality of the foot plate. It seems like it may be somewhat flimsy, so I worry that over time it may not last well from using it - up to open it and down to initiate compacting. Hopefully it won't be an issue.

OK Compactor
CLDF
1/2/2022
The compactor is easy to use. Unfortunately, the spring which causes the door to open is very weak, so it doesn't open very far when using the foot pedal to open - this is the only way to open it. You have to push the foot pedal very hard to get the door to pop open enough for you to drop your trash inside without touching the door.

The 5 star rating goes to Jourdyn with Precision Appliance Installation who did a fantastic job installing my trash compactor. While here, he took the initiative to resolve a poor installation problem with drainage with my new Maytag dishwasher caused by another installation company. Both appliances work great now. Thank you so much Jourdyn you Rock!!

Unlike my KitchenAid compactor, this GE compactor doesn't have a drawer pull handle. You can only open it with the foot release. I like the convience a a foot opening door, but perhaps a third of the times I opened my previous 3 KitchenAid compactors was with my hand. Otherwise, it does the job a compactor should do.

Clean look. Nothing special for the cost. If my kitchen cabinets weren't so expensive to restructure I would have done without a trash compactor.
