In this video, one of Abt's experts does an overview of trash compactors. Looking to make more room in your home? Hate having to deal with bulky garbage and waste all of the time? Trash compactors increase space in your kitchen and eliminate the need for a garbage can altogether, as they reduce the volume of your trash by up to 80%. But what things should you consider before investing in a trash compactor from Abt? First, what type best fits your needs? Trash compactors have both built-in and freestanding models. Built-ins are more popular. They do not have a finished top and are typically installed between cabinets, although trim kits are available to create more seamless integration. You should also consider the control panel location; do you want it to be fully integrated or outside of the unit? You should also explore panel designs, as a finished front can often complete the look for additional style. Are you concerned about the smell of your garbage? If so, you'll want a model with a special deodorizing compact bag to absorb foul odors. Width, depth and height all vary between each unit so it's vital that you take the most accurate measurements possible. The best part about these appliances is that they're basically maintenance-free besides the occasional cleaning. Watch this video to learn more about trash compactors and shop for your very own at Abt.
