I never realized how convenient having a trash compacter was until we acquired a Broan Elite Trash Compactor. Before we just bagged up the trash, put it in cans behind the garage and took it out weekly. If we forgot a day in the house, we were met with rancid and sour odors and I had to clean the kitchen nearly every day to rid ourselves of these.
What is really appealing about the Broan, as opposed to other trash compactors is that there is no lifting involved. There is a door that opens, and reveals the trash bucket (with bag in if of course). It's really simple to clean as well, since there is no bending into the compactor as the door swings open and shut. You can remove the bucket and scrub it down with ease.
The Broan compacts up to 6 13 gallon bags into one bag Operations are easy as well. There are only 2 steps - turn the activation key and shut the door, press a button and the compactor gets to work. When it's done, lower the bucket front, slide the bag out and you are finished. As for odor, there is a built in 6 month odor neutralizing system. Turn the dial on this monthly and you are good for 30 days of no order carbon activated control. Keep an extra system on hand and you'll never have to deal with odor again.
This trash compactor comes in stainless steel, white or black, so it fits within any d
