re: Did anyone else’s grandmother have one of those built in trash compactors in the kitchen?

Yup, it was under the intercom.

There’s one that I wish we had today. Now we have to yell up the stairs.

The compacters have died off over the years but the lives of the compacter bags lived on as the best backpack liner for the ultralight backpacking community.
Saw them everywhere on the Appalachian Trail ten years ago.

No. My parents had one.

I have vague memories of my grandmother having one in the early 2000’s. She always told us to stay away from it because it was “dangerous” haha

The intercom.

You went over to someone’s house and they had an intercom they were living high on the hog.

A intercom that had an Am/fm radio built in was peak hog.

We had one in one of our storage rooms in the carport at the house I grew up in. Parents built the house early 80s and I remember it being old. Assuming it came from my grandparents house.

My mother still has one in her kitchen and it’s in working order.

My mom had one. The bags for it were expensive.
