“Easy enough to install. No surprises. Largely plastic housing. Instructions were pretty clear and adequately sequenced. Packaging was not up to the job, however, but thankfully no resulting damage to the disposal unit itself. Performed as advertised/claimed after installation. At this point, would buy again.”

“Easy installation”

“Easy to install if you are replacing an exisiting badger garbage disposal. Took about 15 min to swap. First unplug the disposal. You unscrew the drain right angle fitting (2 bolts), and the dishwasher line (if you have a dishwasher). Then you twist it off clockwise and it will unhook fromcthe bottom of the sink. Since the union to the sink is the same, you can use the old existing one without having to unscrew and use plumbers putty. Installation is simple and in reverse.Additional plus, the new unit ended up being much more quiet than the old one!Important tip - if you have a dishwasher line, make sure to take a screwdriver and pop open the hole so it is open to the grinding part of the new garbage disposal. Basically take a screwdriver and hit it inside the nipple for the dishwasher nipple.”

“It was an exact as mine … swapped it out easy… I had mine about 10 years … worked perfectly the entire time until it started to leak water out the bottom. I think for the price 10 years was a good run…..I believe this was the exact one I had……”

“My family has always had Insinkerators and they've been great. When I moved to my new place, it had a Waste King that was incredibly loud and didn't do a good job grinding things up. It started to leak, so I got this as a replacement and it's been a big improvement. Though it is not advertised as the quietest or most powerful in Insinkerator's lineup, it seems very quiet to me, dramatically quieter than the Waste King it replaced. I also find it plenty effective at grinding, though I don't put anything too crazy down the drain. Installing it yourself should be doable even for a beginner. The only hard part was getting the old one off, and that's not Insinkerator's fault. While I've only had it a few weeks, I'm very pleased with it, and based on my experience with this brand I expect it to last a long time.”
