I believe that the page should be updated to accurately reflect the color. Since my appliances are all GE Profile Black Slate and no compactor come in Black Slate so I bought the black. it Is actually glossy black and does. It fit with the other appliances color.

The unit has been down more than it has run

We bought this unit in May and it was installed in November. Original unit never worked. Repairman sent out and was told unit was defective from factory. The plunger was stuck above the screws and had no way to be pulled back down. Was told there were no SS units in America and didn't know when any more would be in. I asked if there were any other colors available in the same model. So, I ordered the same model in black and swapped out the SS face. Great, it works...for about 2 weeks and starts doing the same thing our original unit was doing. Turns out the plunger has pushed above the screws again... something it shouldn't be doing. So now they are saying it can be repaired and we are waiting on parts...again. we are going 4 months into a brand new appliance and have only used it for a total of 2 weeks. I'm feeling pretty confident this will not be our last repair based on past experience. I hope I am wrong.

I installed it by myself. After that it was just a plug and play. So far it is performing as expected. It has a tough example to follow - it is replacing the compactor that I originally installed in 1995, time will tell.

The trash compactor is ok

It's an average compactor. It doesn't hold down the trash, like the Kitchen Aid we had before the GE. It's easier to operate than the Kitchen Aid. Its operation squashes the trash and then returns to the start position. The Kitchen Aid did that also. However, it had a hold position, that would compact the trash better. For 1,049 bucks, all I can say is, it's average.
