GE UCG1510NII 15 Inch Built-In Trash Compactor

Capacity is good, not too noisy, performance has been good, this GE Compactor has a nice sleek look in stainless steel. It feels like it will be durable for years to come. My last compactor last 30 years and I expect this one to last as long; although, I am not going to last that long. Have a Blessed Day, from a little old lady.

This is our second GE Profile Trash Compactor. We purchased our last compactor seven years ago and were very happy with just about every aspect of it: the capacity was tremendous; we were able to go at least a full week before having to empty the compactor and change to a new bag. We never had a problem with the functioning of the machine during the time we had it, and did not find it to be overly noisy. While I would not call the compacting cycle quiet, the cycle is brief enough that the sound from the compacting cycle is not a major distraction. Our only real complaint with the GE trash compactor was its lifespan. Seven years seems to be an unreasonably short lifespan. If a repair had been possible, I would be singing a different song. But to be told that GE was no longer making replacement parts is not acceptable IMHO! Planned obsolescence after a seven-year run is not the mark of a quality brand! If we have the same experience with our new GE Trash Compactor, it will also be our last GE Trash Compactor. Wish us luck, please!
