AB1200 Product Details

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 and 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.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

We bought 3 of these about 9 months ago. They all work great. Sometimes it doesn't open and we have to run it again. Not sure why... we love the air freshener!

CABINET DEPTH ISSUE

Submitted by HeatherY - 7/21/2019

Great product but had to trade the integrated for the stainless steel model because the integrated panel would stick out an inch from the rest of the cabinets, thus making it UNINTEGRATED! MAKE SURE YOUR CABINET MAKER IS AWARE AND FABRICATES THE CABINETS AROUND IT 25" DEEP RATHER THAN THE STANDARD 24" !! SOO disappointing.....

Custom Panel

Submitted by butch9999 - 5/7/2019

I bought the compactor on line from Lowe's,. Under the picture it says custom panel and handle sold separately. There is no place to get the custom panel. Now I have a compactor without a panel that looks like bad in my new kitchen..

poorly designed....

Submitted by mamadorf - 3/25/2019

I have had a compactor for 24 years, by GE Monogram. Loved it, but it didn't have a foot pedal to open it. Finally purchased this panel ready version friom Kitcheb Aid & I have 2 problems with it (at a minimum) 1. Once you put the panel on, you hardly have room to step on the bar to open the door. I have creamy white cabinets that will always end up with footprints on the door. 2. The panel goes up so high, that you have to reach way over the machine, awkwardly, to throw the trash in. If it's a piece of plastice, it is sure to float & end up on the floor. It's about 18" or more, from the top of the panel to where the trash is. VERY AWKWARD & not practical for kids, due to the height. Also, product arrive with a damaged/bent container. Kitchen Air did send someone out with a replacement & installed it, but overall, this unit is a turnoff to anybody who would think about getting a compactor.

Foot release

Submitted by BBohl - 3/19/2019

With a custom panel the short length of the foot release does not allow enough room to unlatch door easily. Is there a product that would extend the relaease bar

Submitted by LauraV13441 - 3/18/2019

A lot of people think trash compactors are outdated. However, I just love only having to take the trash out once a week! There are no odors from trash being in there too long and the inner lining prevents accidental leaks.

Quality Product

Submitted by Carguy722 - 3/11/2019

Finally got around to actually purchasing a compactor and I'm so glad I did. No more asking the kids to empty the trash. Or during a family get together and having to empty the trash multiple times. A must have for families or someone who just wants to get rid of the ominous trash can.

Everyone should have one!

Submitted by Karimik - 9/13/2018

I grew up with a trash compactor because of the size of our family. So when we built our home we put one in even though we have a smaller family. Well, it's been 3 weeks and I haven't taken out the garbage yet where as before it was a daily chore. I love it!!

We bought a kitchenaid trash compactor years ago and when we built our new house we knew we couldn't live without one. It is shocking how much this thing holds!!! Went from putting trash out at the curb from once a week to once a month
