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.

Works great!

I bought this trash compactor about a month ago and it has really worked well! It compacts so well, I barely have a full barrel of trash which now leave more room for me to throw bigger items out/downsize :-)

We had to replace our old trash compactor and needed one that would fit under the counter. We chose this one because it looked really nice and decided it would fit. The guys came out and plugged it in and rolled it right under the counter without a problem. Love the look and it works great!

Volvo 8/12/2019

This is our 3 rd compactor and our first Whirlpool. I really like the feature of the push down bar to open but I especially like the separate part to start the compactor. We have owned this one for about two months and I would purchase it again

Poor quality

Cartoon 1961 11/13/2018

Increasingly harder to close. But worse than that, when closed, the upper portion of the compactor, including the door and interior, can be easily "moved" side-to-side four or five inches. We thought was defective but technician who looked at it said, "Yes, it needs a 'top' rail/support, but Whirlpool saved a little money by not including it." (Paraphrased) This cost us almost $1,000, including installation, and it is as close to "junk" as possible. The white GE that it replaced was FAR superior at 18-years-old! Greatly disappointed.

Cheaply Built With Less Features Than Advertised

mmon64 11/6/2018

I purchased this model after reviewing Whirlpool's website. My last compactor was 21 years old, still running without ever having any issues. It had a filter, filter switch, filter fan, and a filter cover. It also had the solid pack feature, which doubles the capacity of the trash by locking the ram in the down position. This feature keeps the trash compressed so when the ram does comes back up, the trash doesn't spring back up, giving you less room to add trash. As you can see, the website says it comes with the solid pack. The compactor is WORTHLESS without this feature. They removed this "top of the line" compactor feature and the filter. They were also too cheap to retool the panel, so now it shows where the filter switch and solid pack switch should be, along with a gaping hole that should have a filter fan, charcoal filter, and filter cover. As far as value, my old Whirlpool with all of the features, was $425 brand new in 1997, which is $660 based on inflation. The Whirlpool rep said this feature never existed, even though the cardboard cutout that came with the compactor shows it; go figure!

Shipped with a faulty switch

Colin86586 5/10/2018

Ordered in Mid April and delivered early May. The compactor didn't work correctly the day it was installed. The compacting ram would run down and back up but a switch was broken so it didn't know to stop running. The result was a jackhammer sound. I was able to diagnose the problem in approximately 10 minutes. It took whirlpool 4 days to get someone out to look at it. It took the actual repair person 30 minutes and video conference call to figure out what was going on. That was 4 days ago. Supposed to be fixed today...

Martha Stewert 7/18/2017

Love our trash compactor. Makes taking the trash easy and less frequent than without a compactor. It would be helpful to have a larger foot pedal to open it and perhaps locating the compacting button so that it doesn't get bumped easily.

The new compactor is quieter but that is the only plus. It is cheaply made , it does not crush and hold it down, It is not going to last 30 plus years like my last one for sure. Made cheaply, cost much more!!!.

kitchen learner 9/6/2016

As trash compactors go, it's probably better than average these days, but the housing seems insubstantial (i.e., cheaply made), and the foot pedal for compaction is easy to trigger by mistake. For the price we had expected better quality.

Solidly built, easy to use compactor

7/16/2016

We purchased the Whirlpool 15" Undercounter Trash Compactor to replace one that had been in service for many years. This new model looks sharp with our other stainless finished appliances. It functions well, saving us many trips to take out the trash by crushing waste into one bag that can be easily removed and disposed of. I only wish that we had made this purchase months earlier when the old compactor started going rogue on us!

I bought this direct not realizing it didn't have the lock down feature to compact overnight which was on my last compactor. I wish I would have noticed that, other than that it does a good job of cutting down on trips to the dumpster.

Replacement for problem prone GE compactor

3/6/2016

Replaced the GE compactor a couple of weeks ago after fighting it for about four years. The new Whirlpool was easy to install and level and works fine. The only problem is the placement of the foot switch to operate the compactor. It is to low and I am constantly hitting it with my toe when working at the counter.

I love that we have much less trash now, but the compactor makes a horrible noise at the end of compacting, and we've only had it a few months. We'll see how easy it is to get someone out here to look at it.
