• Solid Pack™ Control with 5:1 Compaction Ratio – compresses household waste to as little as one‑fifth its original volume, fitting up to five standard trash bags of garbage into a single bag to reduce bag changes and trips to the bin.

• Whisper Quiet® Plus sound package – uses enhanced insulation and noise‑dampening components to keep compaction cycles quiet, helping maintain a peaceful kitchen environment even during operation.

• KitchenAid® professionally‑inspired design – coordinates with other KitchenAid® appliances, featuring clean lines and premium detailing for an integrated, built‑in look in designer kitchens.

• Panel‑Ready Design – accepts a custom cabinet panel and handle (sold separately) so the compactor front can be matched to surrounding cabinetry for a seamless, built‑in appearance.

• 1/3 HP heavy‑duty motor – delivers strong, reliable compaction force for everyday kitchen waste, helping ensure consistent performance with dense or bulky items.

• Odor Management System with fan and charcoal filter – circulates air through an integrated charcoal filter to help trap and neutralize unpleasant odors inside the compactor between cycles.

• 1.4 cu. ft. internal capacity – provides ample room for daily household trash, allowing you to load multiple days’ worth of waste before needing to empty the bin.

• 5:1 compaction ratio – applies enough force to compress typical kitchen garbage to roughly 20% of its original volume, helping reduce the number of trash bags used over time.

• Built‑in under‑counter installation – designed to fit a standard 15" wide under‑counter opening, integrating into base cabinetry to free up floor space and keep trash out of sight.

• All‑welded construction – uses a rigid, welded cabinet and frame to enhance durability and stability during compaction cycles.

• Automatic Anti‑Jam function – senses resistance during operation and automatically reverses or adjusts the ram to help clear jams and protect the motor.

• Solid Pack on/off control – lets you choose between standard compaction and maximum “solid pack” compression depending on the type and amount of waste.

• Touch‑pad electronic controls – provide simple, clearly labeled buttons for starting, stopping, and managing compaction and odor‑control functions.

• Toe‑bar drawer opener – allows you to open the compactor drawer with a tap of your foot, making it easy to load trash when your hands are full.

• Tilt‑away trash basket – swings out for convenient access when loading or unloading bags, reducing bending and making bag changes easier.

• Side‑release bin design – allows trash bags to be lifted out from the side of the bin, helping prevent tearing and simplifying removal of full bags.

• Bag retainer buttons – hold the trash bag securely in place around the bin edges to help prevent slippage and mess inside the compactor.

• Integrated odor‑control fan on/off switch – lets you run the internal fan as needed to manage odors without starting a compaction cycle.

• Hidden removable key lock – allows the controls to be locked to prevent unauthorized or accidental operation, adding a safety layer in homes with children.

• Sound‑insulated cabinet – incorporates sound‑dampening materials around the motor and compaction mechanism to further reduce operational noise.

• Front levelers and rear rollers – make it easier to position, level, and slide the unit into the cabinet opening for a precise built‑in fit.

• Touch‑to‑start operation – begins the compaction cycle with a simple press of the control pad, eliminating the need for complex settings.

• Standard 15 A, 115 V electrical requirement – connects to a typical household circuit, simplifying installation in most kitchens.

• UL‑listed safety certification – tested to recognized safety standards for household appliances, providing added peace of mind.

• Compact 15\" width – fits narrow cabinet bays, making it suitable for a wide range of kitchen layouts and remodels.
