“This one is a breeze to install the first time. No leaks, everything works. Took 10 mins and just a flathead screw driver. No need to buy any extra "easy" power cables. It's all included.”

“Arrived in perfect condition, exactly as advertised.The mount is pretty common as this is a major brand, so if you're replacing a similar machine (even if it came from another company) you might not even have to replace the outlet in your sink (I didn't!).The cord is long enough to reach the outlet under most sinks (my previous disposal had much too long of a cord which got in the way). If you buy this from one of the "big box" stores, they charge (a lot) extra for the power cord, so having it come, already installed, was a real time-saver and money saver!I needed to re-do the plumbing under my sink (for unrelated reasons), so I also bought the installation/plumbing kit, but if you are happy with the existing pipes, you might just be able to swap this unit in.***** ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND ***** If you are going to use this with a dishwasher, there is a step in the installation where you use a screw-driver and a hammer to punch-out a piece of plastic so your dishwasher can empty into the disposal. It's VERY EASY to do, but if you don't... the first time you run your dishwasher, you're in for a nasty surprise! If you don't have a dishwasher, it's ready right out of the box. I almost installed it without punching the piece out. Thankfully, I did at least look over the instructions before installing it! (lol)After I got it installed, I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it is, much quieter than the old one it replaced. I also liked that it is very stable, no vibrations at all. If they shake around, it will eventually loosen the pipes and you'll get leaks, but this model is smooth and didn't need a stand or bracing.For me, the cost of this disposal was less than the cost of having the home warranty company send someone out to repair the old machine. If you feel "handy" enough to swap one out, it's an easy project!”

“A great product, made in America. Installation took 10 mins, it was extremely easy to put this thing in. No leaks, which is always nice. And it is super quiet, at least compered to the Moen 1/3HP unit it replaced. Overall, a great purchase, at a great price. 10/10, would recommend all day long.”

“To my surprise this is the first unit that comes with the power cord already installed and sealed from factory, a great time saver when I'm trying to get out fast from a condo.This is the only brand and model I've been installing for decades and it's a breeze.”

“I have never bought a garbage disposal online before and was skeptical at first. This looked very similar to the one we already had. I took a chance and bought it because our old one broke and we needed a new one fast. Turned out to be almost an exact fit to the one we already had. So far runs great! The nice thing is it came with a cord already installed. Can't beat the price and the value you get. Highly recommend buying this.”
