I installed this in a new installation and it works well. I also tried the 1/2 HP (x version with soundproofing) and the 3/4 HP disposals from Moen and found that these are very similar in installation and performance minus the sound proofing. Here are my thoughts:+Size wise this is a wide, but not very deep disposal. The 13 inch estimate is about right from the bottom of the sink. Shorter than others I have used or installed and significantly less thick than the ones with soundproofing. Standard sized, in my experience.+I like that this has the same connection to the sink as Insinkerator brand. I wish all of them had a standard connection. It is very easy to get on and off.+This grinds really well! The opening where the food is ground is also really big so you can get very large chunks of stuff in there with no worries. Everything has worked really well for me so far.-Price is higher than most 1/2 HP disposals. Perhaps the magnetic motor really will last forever and it will be worth it.-It has a warranty for 3 years with limitations on in home fixes per the box, which is less than most of the brands I've seen, like other Moen, Waste King and Insinkerator.Overall, I'm happy with this. It works well, which I would expect at this price point. It works as expected.
