I am a new homeowner and the thought of replacing my own garbage disposal had me convinced I was going to flood my kitchen. I almost just paid someone to do it. Glad I didn’t. It took less than 45 minutes and was very straightforward.**If you have a dishwasher, read this before you start.**There is a plastic knockout plug inside the side inlet that you have to punch out before connecting your dishwasher line. You do it by literally hammering a piece of plastic inside a brand new disposal, which feels like you are breaking it. It is supposed to happen, but do this before you mount the unit. If you do it beforehand, you can just turn the unit upside down and the plastic disc falls right out. If you wait until it is already hooked up to your plumbing, you will have to fish that little disc out from inside the unit. Learn from my mistake. Do it on the workbench first.**On septic systems.**I specifically chose this model because we are on a septic system. High horsepower disposals grind food into a fine slurry that can clog a drain field over time. The 1/2 HP Badger 5 is a better fit. The goal on septic is to use it as little as possible anyway. It is there to catch the occasional scrap that makes it into the drain, not for everyday food waste.Noise: Quieter than my old unit but not a whisper quiet disposal. Running empty it hovers around 72 to 73 dB and spikes to 75 to 76 when actually grinding something.Check my video for the actual meter readings in real time.For context, disposals are generally in the 70-95dB range so this lands right at the lower end of that. Noticeable but not disruptive.Size: Very compact. Frees up realcabinet space under the sink compared to bulkier models. Check my photos showing it mounted with a tape measure for actual clearance.Value: Cheaper here than at the hardware store and the power cord comes pre-installed which saved me extra time and money.Install: Straightforward swap if you take your time. The Lift and Latch mounting system is simple and you can do it solo.Solid unit. If I can do it, you can too.You’ve got this.

I've installed a few of these over the years and this is a good product although there are two important things to keep in mind. If you replace the metal flange that goes on top of the sink be aware that the flange is too short for a porcelain sink as it's a lot thicker. I'm sure it works fine for a metal sink. I just removed the old one cleaned it up and resealed it with plumbers putty but the shorter style that comes with it won't work. Also,make sure order a corded or uncorded disposal based on which one you need. Anyway it's a good product and easy to install.

Replaced existing 18yr old Badger5. Exact replacement, went in very easy. Silent operation.

This is the second one I bought. I have one for each house. very easy to install, quiet and powerful.

We have been using the InSinkErator solely for over 40+ years and we never had a problem, they go bad after many years and we pop a new one in, fast and easy. Well priced, better than in store, and they work so well. Don't go cheap and buy name brand!!

Product is horrible and couldn’t get in touch with th seller

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.

Good product, works perfectly, only took an hour or so to install. It was a replacement for an old Badger. I would recommand!

El triturador cubre mis necesidades de funcionamiento, mínimo ruido, fácil de instalar y excelente relación calidad - precio.

Muy buena calidad
