Garbage Disposal Splash Guard Collar Sink Baffle, Food Waste Disposer Accessories for Wasting King, Whirlaway and GE Models (3 1/8 Inch in Diameter) by CLEESINK

Perfect fit for Waste King disposal. The original splash guard was coming apart, so this was a replacement. It is a different design than the original, but 1000 times better. It is made of soft rubber, everything slides right through, or is very easy to push in. Way more quiet when it’s turned on. I had this design with my old disposal, and I remember being dissapointed with the guard when I had to replace it. It was noisier and difficult to push food scraps into it. So glad I found this one! And wish I had replace it sooner!

Let’s keep this simple, something the ad for this product has trouble doing. This is a replacement splash guard for an in-sink garbage disposer. There are two reasons you would buy it – as a replacement for an identical one that comes standard on certain brands of disposers if that one somehow got damage, or to convert the type of guard many other brands use, a type often called a starburst. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION My new disposer brand is Frigidaire, a name not often associated with garbage disposers. That’s not their main business and the unit itself is actually made by Electrolux. It, like most disposers sold these days, is the type that that has a rubber flapper just inside the drain hole that is meant let garbage fall into the grinding section and let water flow freely whether the motor is running or not. Unfortunately for all of its niceties the fatal flaw on this model is that the flapper is what they call a starburst, it is an essentially flat piece of rubber with a tiny hole in and six slightly larger holes around it with a slit cut between them. Most people don’t like this design because even without trash in it the water backs up because it can’t drain fast enough and with trash you have to mash into the drain with a fork or spoon but hopefully not your finger. THE SOLUTION This design, while not unique to the product I am reviewing, goes about it a little differently. First off the center hole is larger so water can drain more naturally. Second, other than the center hole the rest of the piece is solid rubber, but very flexible, and molded in such way that there are five triangular slides that let waste immediately flow into the drain without backing up. YES OR NO At only about six bucks this splash guard needs zero installation skills, it just pops into place in about 10 seconds and fits just as snugly and securely as the original. Once you use it you will never see yourself going back to the starburst design. There are a lot of companies selling guards that look like this but they may not be as flexible, or maybe they are better, I can’t try them all. I can say that this one works and I am very happy with it and believe it earns a full five stars.

It's perfect. Fits great and works well, looks as though it's well made.

The 3 1/8" diameter fit my stainless steel sink and Waste King garbage disposal perfectly and it seems like a quality product. However, the hole was so narrow that water collected / backed up in the sink when the faucet was open. So I had to enlarge the hole with a scissors. I probably would try another product in the future to see if other makes would allow better water flow.

This Garbage Disposal Splash Guard is exactly what I needed! It fits perfectly on my disposer and installs easily. The quality feels solid, and it does a great job keeping water and food particles from splashing out. Considering the price, it’s an excellent value. Works well and fits just right—very satisfied!

The splash guard on my Moen garbage disposal really didn't work well from the get go. It was always a bit loose and would often get pulled into the disposal and get spun around. The disposal didn't chew it up but over time, I think the splash guard got even looser fitting to the point where it was practically useless and would fall into the disposal all the time. That's where this new one enters the picture. It comes in two different sizes so I made sure to measure the opening as well as my old splash guard to make sure I got the correct size. The old one measured about 3 1/8 but I knew that was too small so I went with the next size up, 3 3/8, which turned out to be perfect. The fit is pretty snug and you could press it down and it would stay just fine but on my disposal there is a bit of a bump and detent so if you press down just a bit more the guard snugs into place with a very satisfying POP which locks it in place. It's a small thing but that pop sound and the feel of it as it snapped into place was very rewarding after dealing with the super loose one for years. I'm REALLY happy with this purchase, probably more than is reasonable for a garbage disposal sink guard.

Fine fit

I bought this to replace the one that came with my new garbage disposal since it doesn't let food through easily and always pops out when I try to push the food through. This item was similar to what I had before and thought it would work better than the one I have now. I thought the design would allow food to rest on the 4 higher pieces while letting water run underneath and not back up. I bought the 3 5/8" one, installed in a few second, and ran water over it and it immediately started backing up. I think it is made well enough, it does allow you to push stuff through but will pop out when you pull back out, but the issue is the center opening is just too small to let water run through fast enough. Maybe the larger size works better but I had no luck with the 3 5/8" size and returned it.
