Save space with trash compactors from Sears

Trash compactors are great for households that produce lots of trash, and they reduce trips out to the garbage bin. If you find that your bin is full ahead of your pickup day, then a compactor is the right appliance for your home. Garbage disposers are another type of appliance that can lessen the amount of waste you need to throw out.

When you generate a lot of waste, kitchen trash cans can fill up quickly. Compactors have powerful motors that allow them to compress garbage efficiently. Because it takes more time to fill up the compactor's bin, you do not have to take out the trash as frequently. These appliances also have systems to prevent odors from building up.

The Kenmore 1.4 cu. ft. Trash Compactor has a durable, mostly stainless steel construction for long service life. The product comes with a one-year limited general warranty. With a 4:1 compaction ratio, this appliance can compress four trash bags worth of garbage into one and reduce your trips to the outside bin. The 1.4 cu. ft. capacity allows you to fit larger items into the compactor without having to break them up first. A deluxe version of this appliance is the Kenmore Elite 1.4 cu. ft. Trash Compactor, which has a more powerful 1/3 horsepower motor. The Elite provides a 5:1 compaction ratio, which means that it reduces trash volume by 80 percent. The system has a convenient bin side release and foot pedal drawer opener. The use of welded stainless steel with interior zinc coating reduces vibration and enhances durability.

A higher end option is the Electrolux Professional Series 15'' Trash Compactor. The appliance has a 1.55 cu. ft. capacity and a  horsepower motor capable of a 6:1 compaction ratio. Using 3,000 lbs of pressure, the motor can reduce a full bin in just 45 seconds. The Electrolux Professional has a sophisticated odor control system with a filter that lasts about six months. The appliance's control panel alerts you when the filter is ready for replacement. The Smooth-Glide trash bin slides out fully, allowing you to access it easily for loading or cleaning. The Electrolux Professional comes with a one-year limited general warranty.
