Trash compactors
It's easy to lose yourself in the kitchen. Unfortunately, it's a little tougher to lose the inevitable mess. But Viking trash compactors make
quick work of whatever you leave in your culinary wake. The largest capacity of any residential compactor handles even the bulkiest
items without cramming or jamming. And the most powerful motor on the market crushes it all with 3,000 pulverizing pounds of
force. An activated charcoal filter and fan keep odors at bay. And the breakaway trash basket makes Viking compactors a snap to empty.
