              Can I switch the door to match my cabinet doors?
              ByNov 2, 2025
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              This is not a panel-ready compactor, so the door cannot be customized.

                Can the raised panel be painted to match my kitchen cabinets
                ByOct 15, 2025
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                The front panel is not provided with this trash compactor. This unit is panel ready, meaning a custom panel should be installed separately.

                  Poor design and not made to last
                  This unit is not built to last and like the other reviewers stated, the foot pedal is faulty. The foot pedal is held on by a screw and a very thin piece of metal. I’ve already called and spoke to the “Bodell” team and the only option is to replace the entire unit or replace the basket portion (which costs over $550). It’s unfortunate that an appliance is not made to last over 5 years. Very disappointing.

                    Pedal difficult to push to open
                    It compacts well but the foot pedal is very hard to push to open. It is at an angle already so surface area is limited so takes a lot of effort to push. Also, takes a lt effort to close. I have to push with foot to get it to close fully. It also doesn't close flush even though measurements indicate that it should.

                    If you are noticing the drawer take more effort to close, we recommend checking behind the drawer for any debris or fallen trash. You can also lift up on the foot pedal and release to allow the ram to complete a cycle. This will help with opening the drawer. If you are still experiencing issues with the drawer, we recommend scheduling an appointment with our Bodewell service team. To make an appointment with one of our Bodewell technicians, please call 1-833-4BODEWELL or visit this site: https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service. For assistance with your installation, we suggest getting in touch with the team that performed the install.

                      Poor quality& design of compacting foot pedal GE
                      GE compactor- In use for just over 2 1/2 years and the foot pedal/ lever piece attached to bottom metal rail has worn through. No real way to repair the hole that the pedal screw goes through as it’s integral to the whole main body part of the compactor. No way to open compactor or compact trash without foot pedal:( Our old compactor worked years and years with no such issues!! Very expensive GE compactor to last less than 2 1/2 years!!

                        It’s okay
                        I really hate the hidden controls and you cannot stop the compactor with the plunger down to make sure things stay compacted. Right now bottles pop right back into shape. And the plunger does not seem to go down as far as other models do.

                        Hiding the controls allows for easier cleaning as you have one continuous panel to wipe down. We recommend you remove the cap and load pop bottles on their side located toward the middle of the drawer. Placing bottles below other trash when possible will help prevent the bottle from re-expanding. Your comments about the hidden controls and stopping the plunger (ram) in a down position will be shared with our product team.
                          Excellent
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wonderful piece of kit. I would suggest to anyone.

                              Trash compactor
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] GE is quickly becoming one of my least favorite brands of product to buy. This trash compactor does not come with a press and hold option and it is very cheaply made and poorly designed. There is a foot pedal that operates everything that is plastic. And insanely that is not even the failure point. The failure point is the thin metal that it connects to that has failed after less than a year of use.

                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely simple to install and level. Noise level is slightly higher than expected, but compression is incredible.
