It does exactly what we wanted it to do! Our previous one had an “extra pack” option to hold the trash down if we chose to do so.

Nice compactor. However, I would have given 5 stars if there was a way to pack down the trash, keep it packed down for a few minutes, then release it. The trash goes down but it does’ t pack tight.

This is the 2nd GE trash compactor we have had in the last 3-1/2 months. The first unit failed (the Ram stuck) after 2 months. We dealt with customer service, including multiple service calls and service call cancellations, but GE Appliances eventually provided a replacement unit. That unit has now failed after 2 weeks (foot pedal failure, the door won't open). I would like to be able to give this trash compactor a good rating, but I just can't.

Like this compact a lot. I would like it even better if it had a continuous compact feature like my other compactors in our past.
