The smasher is smashing.

I love the stainless finish and the smashing/compacting is solid. My biggest disappointment is when opening with the foot, it still requires finishing the opening with the handle. My prior model would pop open wide enough to drop the garbage without using the handle, also.

Knob comes off, door is not aligned and no plastic bag caddy. How do you get your compacted trash out? It's an accessory! Pay another $14 to get a complete unit. I have arthritis, wish I had known this when I ordered it.

It Works --- Mostly

Control knob disappeared three days after unit installation. After a search, found it in the trash below where knob was supposed to be. Retrieved it, and found no way to hold it in place---it just floats loosely on its shaft. Tried to find help from Maytag on the Internet and on the telephone, and failed. Noted that buttons for "Powerpack" and "Air Filter" are unlit, making it quite difficult to tell whether they are "On" or "Off." Also noted that the internal workings appear to be identical to the 20-year-old Kenmore it replaced. Altogether rather disappointing, especilly considering the price.

Control knob is loose, falls off. So far, I have been unable to contact Maytag for advice and/or service.
