Review Star RatingsFantastic product.
by: Gregg   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Clarkston, Mi      on: March 14, 2024
 Expensive but worth it. The PDF's on the site were a great help. I wish it had one big trash can vs. 2 small ones. This one can took some time to find but works great: Rubbermaid Commercial Products Slim Jim Plastic Rectangular Trash/Garbage Can with Venting Channels, 16 Gallon, Gray March 2024

by: Steve Scown   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Stanwood, WA      on: February 22, 2024
 Easy install except for face panel fastener pulling out on install. Called manufacturer and they helped right away. Trash bins are short in 15" model. I found taller 10 gal fits if 1/2" is trimmed off rim on both sides. Smooth and quiet pull out

by: KLH   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Newport Bech , CA      on: March 30, 2023
 Received the replacement cabinet within 4 days and it was packaged very nicely. Had a handyman install it for me, and he was able to do it easily. I was worried about purchasing such an expensive item online without seeing the actual product, but read the reviews and I am happy to say it fits perfectly! It is a great solution if you want to get rid of the trash compactor! Highly recommend.

 Ordered this product to replace an old trash compactor. The trash cabinet arrived on time, and packaged so well there was no damage to the cabinet. Installation was easy, and it rolls in and out smoothly. The website is accurate and left no surprises during assembly. An absolute pleasure to use, and the stainless finish fits really well with our kitchen decor.


Review Star RatingsWorked perfectly and fit exactly
by: Jerry Damron   ✔Verified Buyer      from: San Luis Obispo, CA      on: February 14, 2023
 I was a bit hesitant to spend the money on something that was advertised as a perfect fit replacement for an old 20+ year old 12 inch trash compactor, but I made the decision to do so anyway. It came, I pulled out my old trash compactor, quickly assembled this, put it in, screwed it in place, and boom...perfect fit, classic stainless steel look. Highly recommend. One person assembly and installation job that takes about 30-45 minutes.

 We had a very old trash compactor that eventually went up in smoke so needed a replacement. We really love this product. It arrived very quickly after ordering. It was easy to install and is environmentally friendly. thank you for a great product.


Review Star RatingsJust what we were looking for.
by: Elaine   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Carlsbad, CA      on: October 5, 2022
 With CA's new trash sorting rules, we really needed 2 bins to replace our 1979 trash compactor. This works perfectly. It fits the space just right & the black front matches our other appliances.


Review Star RatingsPerfect compactor replacement
by: David Siegel   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Mission Viejo, CA      on: June 23, 2022
 Since our state moved to a new trash recycling service requirement, having a trash compactor was no longer needed. Therefore having the pull out dual trash cabinet was needed. This product fits perfectly and was very easy to install. All I needed to purchase afterward was a 1"x3" board to mount on the sides and attach to the cabinet.


Review Star RatingsQuick way to modernize your kitchen
by: Luke   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Columbus, OH      on: November 15, 2021
 This super easy to install retrofit for a 28 year old, early 90s style trash compactor fits in so well with the style of the rest of our kitchen. The drawer slides very smoothly, and the entire unit feels of very high quality.

by: Steve Hentzen   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Leawood, ks      on: November 10, 2021
 The old trash compactor was so outdated. It didn't really work. Was hard to open / close. Required a separate ugly container for recycle. This new one really makes the kitchen look and work better.

 Well everyone is correct, if you owned a Braun trash compactor this will do the job!!! I needed something with a door and this was perfect! It actually almost looks like my trash compactor door! Easy to install. Wish it was a little more sturdier when the door opens but I am thrilled to find something that fits that spot!! Looks great!!


Review Star RatingsWorth the money
by: Amber Landers   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Damascus, Or      on: July 2, 2021
 This was the perfect solution to fill the space left by my broken and discarded trash compactor. I was originally planning on replacing it with another trash compactor but after waiting months the only one I could even find to buy was too large. I was very impressed by how easy this mechanism was to install. It slides open and closed very smoothly and it looks great in my kitchen. I initially thought it seemed a little expensive for a trash can solution but I am really glad I bought it.


Review Star RatingsTHE BEST OPTION for BROAN
by: Lyn Russo   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Pacifica , Ca      on: December 9, 2020
 If YOU have that ridiculous 12 inch space/hole in your kitchen cabinets because your very old BROAN 12 trash Compactor is broken. >>>> THIS is for YOU. The FIT was perfect for already in place fixed cabinets. >> the only product that will work. >> I got the Stainless steel finish; it matches great in my kitchen. Go to Amazon and get the ADIRHOME 2-Pack of 18 Liter trash can-WHY.... this product comes with 1 trash can... think office size trash can- there is an additional space in the back area to use 1 of the ADIRHOME trash cans-and you can use this one as a Recycle can. Let me see if this allows me to upload some photos. ohhh weird... no space for photos.. sorry-


Review Star RatingsGreat product short of custom work.
by: AW   ✔Verified Buyer      from: San Ramon, CA      on: September 2, 2020
 For those who buy the 12" model like myself. I finally found another can that works with the larger one it comes with. We use the additional one for recycling. The can is made by AdirHome. It is a 4.7 gallon can that fits perfectly. Wish it was a little taller but it works. You can only buy them in a pair but price was reasonable.

Review Star RatingsVery nice product & works well
by: James Franks   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Hot Springs Village, AR      on: February 14, 2020
 We had a 31 year old 12"trash compactor fail & I tried to replace it but couldn't find one for less than $1300. Found this 12" recycle drawer with SS front on line and gave it a try. Read all the reviews and knew I would only have one problem because there was electric box in the back of the cabinet. It was an easy install after I removed the box. The only problem I had was it took 22 trips between the basement and the Island where the drawer went. It is a complement to our kitchen remodel as we had installed a Wolf 48" range and Subzero and the SS front really blends in with our remodel and my wife is happy to be rid the compactor.


Review Star RatingsGreat Product
by: Tim   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Tampa, FL      on: December 18, 2019
 The product was pretty much exactly what we needed and exactly as described. It shipped quickly and arrived on time. It was pretty easy to install, even for amateurs. That being said, the directions could have been a little clearer and more specific. It doesn't quite fit perfectly in the spot [we were replacing an old Viking trash compactor with an 18" front panel], but for a retrofitted piece, it fits very well and looks great, too.

 We had a cabinet opening that matched the dimensions of this cabinet perfectly. We have stainless steel appliances so it matches the color/style of the kitchen as well. We would have spent a few hundred more on a custom wood cabinet (although this wasn't cheap!). Sturdy and functional.

 We are thrilled with this product. We were unable to find a replacement trash compactor when the one that was in our home when we bought it broke. We did not care about having a trash compactor at all but the empty cabinet space was ugly. This fit perfectly, looks great and was a breeze to install. We love it.


Review Star RatingsGreat product...easy installation!
by: anonymous   ✔Verified Buyer      from: -, -      on: March 11, 2019
 I received this product two weeks ago. First off, I received the product within two days of ordering it. I am in CA and it came from the LA area. The product was well boxed and did not have any destruction from shipping. The product is solid and the SS is of good quality. I installed the product in an area that previously had a 12" trash compactor in it. The fit was perfect and the installation was not difficult. I highly recommend this product to fill an area vacated by a trash compactor. I would purchase this product again.


Review Star RatingsExcellent Product
by: chris   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Long Beach, CA      on: February 5, 2019
 This product did exactly the job I wanted it for. We installed this to replace our 15 inch trash compactor. Easy installation and looks great. The only thing I did differently is that I did not use the two small trash cans it came with. I had a plastic Sterilite Lift Top laundry basket size 2.3 BU/81 L that I was so longer using as a laundry basket. I tossed the lid and I use it with a garbage bag insert as my receptacle. It fits perfectly and works great. I am very pleased.

Review Star RatingsGreat trash compactor replacement
by: Edward Levin   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Granada Hills, CA      on: December 17, 2018
 This was the only reasonable replacement for our old stinky trash compactor. Metal front meshes well with our decor since wood would not match existing cabinets. The unit was easy to install and the sliding action is smooth. The handle could have been larger and more ergonomic and the price for the unit is a little steep but since this is the only replacement I was able to find I consider it a good buy.


Review Star RatingsVery High Quality Product
by: Sam   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Fairfax, Va      on: December 13, 2018
 Arrived better packaged that any item I have ever ordered. Installation needs a seasoned do it yourselfer and was straightforward but took some patience—especially if your floors are not level. Shims and a level should be at hand. Directions for installation are slim and not all that helpful.

 A perfect option to replace an outdated 27 year old trash compactor. Fits in the same space perfectly, and the quality is well worth the money. The installation may require some wood spacers on each side to center the unit but it's no big deal. The trash/recycle cans are the perfect size and compatable with target or other bags.

 When I purchased an old condo that needed work, the garbage compactor was such an eye sore. I didn't want to replace it, and I had no idea how I would fill that space in my tiny galley kitchen. I was so happy to find that there were actually other people with the same issue, and that there was a product to solve my issue. It looks great and definitely serves the purpose. I had a little bit of a hard time installing it, but overall a terrific product.

 I bought the 18" to fill the void of my horrible and dirty trash compactor after several months of trying to find a less expensive solution. All the solutions I came up with were more work than savings. Product: looks great, matches oven, cooktop and dishwasher. (I bought the Stainless Steel). My wife and I installed it in two hours or less taking our time. Drawer glides in and out with a finger pull - easily. If I was going to change anything, I would ask the company to upgrade the drawer glides to be more heavy duty even if it cost more money, (however the current glides are of good quality), I just know my kids. this is great product, great unit, I wish I had found it several months ago.

Review Star RatingsGreat Kitchen Update
by: Edith Pack   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Nashua, NH      on: October 3, 2017
 Even though I did not do a full kitchen redo, this replacement for a compactor that I never used makes for a real updated feel. The removal of the kitchen garbage can that sat out in the floor at the end of an island, gave more room in the area near the oven, as well as giving a much cleaner, neater, look. This is such a creative idea to fill a niche created by aging compactors! Keep up the good work.

 Perfect replacement for the old trash compactor. Well made, and looks great next to all the stainless steel appliances in our kitchen.

 For years we've been struggling with the old trash compactor that came with our home, but put off changing it out for fear that matching the cabinetry and size would be impossible. Then I found this unit which is perfectly sized and designed to replace our 18" trash compactor.

Review Star RatingsNice Product...
by: AH   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Encino, CA      on: March 21, 2016
 We purchased this unit (18-inch SS version) to replace an old KitchenAid Trash Compactor. While the unit's build quality was so so (Bent internal sheet metal with blemished paint surface, not completely flat fornt-lower kick panel), the unit is very nice. We are very pleased with its look and operation compared to our old trash compactor. The installation is easy as long as the cabinet opening is slightly larger than 18 inches in width so the door (when closed) fits in nicely into the cabinet. Our cabinet required a bit of trimming and stain touch up. We also purchased 2 41-quart trash bins (one for trash and the other for recycling) that fit nicely inside the unit. Would recommend this unit.


Review Star RatingsGood stuff
by: John   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Boston, Ma      on: March 21, 2016
 Overall this is a good well made product. As noted in other reviews finding 41 quart barrel that is smaller than 15 inches wide is hard to do. I ended up trimming the ends of a standard 41 qrt barrel which seems to work. Improvements would be to have screw in feet to allow for proper leveling and including the barrels or selling them on this site.


Review Star RatingsGreat Container
by: GinnyK   ✔Verified Buyer      from: Tucson, AZ      on: March 15, 2016
 I got the 15" stainless front panel recycle drawer with black interior. I found the stainless steel to be of good quality and was also happy that it had a stainless kick plate. However, I did find it hard to find a pair of waste baskets to fit and ended up having to trim off the top rims of the 10 gallons I found in order for them not to tip when I opened the drawer. For the price I feel the waste baskets should be included (otherwise it is a 5 star item). Other than that I find it to be a great looking and functional part of my kitchen.

 It perfectly fits the space where my 18" Kitchen Aid compactor was, and the quality is excellent.


Review Star RatingsNice but Assumes cabinets on either side of unit
by: Martha Dannis     from: Burlingame, CA      on: August 31, 2015
 FYI We purchased this to install between cabinet and dishwasher. The instructions are to screw the base unit into cabinets on both sides. WE did just the one side and seems to be working OK. Don't know if it will skew over time becasue one side only.

 We were looking to replace our Kitchenaid Trash Compactor and this is a great replacement. Easy to install and looks great in my kitchen. We got the Black on Black. The young lady I placed the order with was very helpful and informative. I will definitely order from them again.

Ask a questionAd says it comes with two grey trash cans and many comments say they had to buy trash cans. Are the two trash cans included?   - Asked about product IM-RC15-BL

Ask a questionYour trash storage IM-RC12-BL-SS Cannot see where extra bags are stored is there a shelf inside or photo of hooks to hang bags also do you sell two smaller cans instead of one 40qt   - Asked about product IM-RC12-BL-SS
 AnswerWith IM-RC12-BL-SS there is hooks on the inside door panel to hold bags (unfortunately, Imperial does not provide us with images showing the hooks). It is very difficult to find cans for these units and that is why a few years ago Imperial started supplying the cans- the 12"W unit is too small to house anything but the 1-40qt can that is included.

 AnswerIM-RC15-BL-SS includes 2 x 30 Quarts. (7.5 Gal.) trash cans, and the manufacturer includes the cans due to finding trash cans for the unit being tricky to do. You can try to use different sized bins, however, we cannot guarantee they will fit inside the unit.

Ask a questionHi. I am interested in purchasing the Imperial 12" trash cabinet to replace my old trash compactor unit. The picture shows it holds two cans, but all the specs say one can. It is only a 10 gallon can. It seems that the overall dimensions could possibly handle a larger can. In your experience, can I fit a taller plastic trash can inside the unit? I would prefer at least a 13 gallon.   - Asked about product IM-RC12-BL-SS
 AnswerThe trash/recycling center does include a 10gal trashcan. In the past, customers had a very difficult time locating bins to fit into the centers, so Imperial started including them for the customer's convenience. If you are able to find another bin that would fit and work with your cabinets dimensions, you would of course be able to use the bin. The 12" cabinet includes 40 Qt. (10 Gal.) trash can & hooks on inside front panel to hang trash bags; 15" cabinet includes 2 x 30 Qt. (7.5 Gal.) trash cans; 18" cabinet includes 2 x 40 Qt. (10 Gal.) trash cans.
