– Easy to Install, Works Perfectly!
I was a little nervous about installing a garbage disposal myself, but this Insinkerator made the whole process surprisingly simple. The instructions were clear, and everything fit exactly as described. I was able to remove my old unit and have this one up and running in less than an hour with just basic tools. Once installed, it worked flawlessly—quiet, powerful, and it grinds food waste smoothly without any issues. The compact design also freed up a bit of space under my sink, which I really appreciate. Overall, I’m impressed with both the quality of the product and the ease of installation. If you’re on the fence about doing it yourself, I’d say go for it—this Insinkerator makes it very doable. Highly recommended!

Excellent Disposal
I purchased this product because my old,(10 years or older) disposal shorted out. It was a "like for like" purchase. Which means, it was the same brand but I opted for higher horsepower. To my delight, the in sink existing hardware matched the new model. It took less than half an hour to install without the high cost of a plumber. It works great and will probably last 10 or more years! Great product, great purchase that contributes positively to environmental health by diverting food waste from landfills, reducing methane emissions (a potent greenhouse gas), and supporting energy recovery at wastewater treatment facilities. Highly recommended!

Had to replace
Old disposal gave out. Bought this one to replace it. Easy install as the install ring was the same and works fine. Noise level is quieter than the old one.

Easy to install, good documentation, just a couple minor issues
It's the kind of installation that intimidates novices like me, but it was honestly over before before I knew it. The only difficult part was finding the snap ring, if you're not used to them. Getting it off the old one was easy, but to get the new one on I had to use a little bolt to hold the ends apart while I got it in place. I'm knocking off a star for the dishwasher connection plug. To use this feature, you have to stick a screwdriver or something in a tube and hammer out a plastic plug, then fish out the plug. I couldn't couldn't find it to fish it out so i figured it had fallen out, but when I finally turned it on, it was in there. It was incredibly difficult to get out until I pulled out a random industrial endoscope I bought last year on impulse and found it stick to the side. Like... really? you couldn't just have a screw-on cap with a gasket? You couldn't think of ANY solution that didn't require fishing a little plastic disc out of the disposal innards? This should have been a 30-second step but instead it took up fully half my installation time. The other annoyance, confirming the lost star, is not including plumber's putty. For a few cents they could include a little packet of plumber's putty. Instead I had to take a separate trip to a hardware store and buy enough putty to install at least 50 of these even though it's unlikely I'll ever use it again. I'm sure they used to include it and dropped it as a cost-cutting measure, and I think that was a bad call. Apart from that, it was an easy and seamless process.

Best Buy!
Great price for the 1/2 hp model. This is my second one as the first one purchased in 2018 was damaged by metal debris. The old one was easily removed in less than five minutes including time to gather tools! Quick and easy to install. Quiet and no leaks. Perfect size, smells good and not that heavy.

this seems to be american with american plugs and so on. i have had 2 electricians to look at it and they won't fit it becauase it works on 110 volts not 240 here in england. If it is fitted the current here will make it blow. so unfortunately i am sending it back.

Si libera gratamente de los desperdicios orgánicos no deseados porque algunos son de buen uso pero hay otros que realmente no. Funciona muy bien y es muy práctico siguiendo las instrucciones de operación en el orden correcto. El ruido no es incómodo y tiene muy buena potencia para triturar. Yo solicité la instalación a un plomero y realmente me dejó satisfecho. Lo instaló en 2 1/2 hrs con todo y botón de aire y contacto bajo la tarja.
