1.0HP 2600RPM Garbage Food Waste Disposer

I recommend this with reservation.

1. It was not easy to install, and certainly,not for one person's job.2. The drain plug had to be drilled out. It was not something to come out with just a screwdriver.3. Since the level of difficulty to install for me was too much, I wanted to return. And to my surprise, I was told that I have to pay $16.00 shipping cost which will be deducted from the total refund money. Din't like that..

Drill out so called drain plug

Only con was the plug! It's not actual 2 peace little end cap plug the whole part unscrews an I had to drill it out for proper use for the washer to drain other than that I expect to get 15 plus years out of this !

Working good

It's a little different from the old one we had. But this one come with flexible pipes. Which makes it much easier to install. We were able to replace it ourselves. Which is good.

How long it would last

Working properly

Very practical!

The unit is great - runs well and is much quieter than our old one. But the install instructions are sorely lacking. Diagrams are confusing, and there is no mention of the fact that you must remove the plug that blocks the dishwasher drain connection. Needed a heavy duty electric drill to accomplish this. Very frustrating.

Great buy if you want a strong option

Strong and quiet. The hookup was a bit different than I have but I made it work. Well worth it and been running great for months. As I have a septic tank the power on this is great for grinding up the toughest stuff

It swapped out easily from the insinkerator

This replaced a insinkerator that had half of the power and was twice as loud. I love this disposal.

Unit works great!!! but....

First of all, let me start by saying, that yes this unit is exactly as advertised and functions amazingly. I bought this to replace the busted Insinkerator Badger 9 in my fixer upper home. Being that I plan on remodeling the kitchen soon, I didn't want to drop hundreds of dollars on a brand name but also not step down from a 3/4 HP disposal. Although not Prime, this unit was shipped in less than a week of me placing the order. The box was intact and all pieces were included. Again I want to make it very clear I am extremely happy with the unit and end result, HOWEVER..... I consider myself quite an apt DIYer having replaced almost all the plumbing in my home to building and entire barn complete with plumbing, electrical and framed out rooms. Before buying the unit I read previous reviews of how bad or hard the install was for others and thought to myself "Well clearly they don't know what they're doing". This install was an absolute nightmare. I could see the intent of the manufacturer, by providing rubber gaskets for the top and bottom of the sink but no matter how much pressure and twisting I did, the ring would not slide on the flange. After slicing my fingers twice on the inner rim (FYI its really sharp) I finally split the bottom gasket ring with a knife and got the drain to stay. Unfortunately though the drain was not longer tightly sealed and leaked all over the bottom of the cabinet when water was applied. The solution: Do it the old fashioned way with another flange kit and putty. I went to the Home Depot, bought an insinkerator flange kit and some Oateys putty. Set me back less than $20 which overall still had me under leading brand name units. Buying those two things, the install took minutes. Also small side notes. The disposal unit has a dishwasher input near the top. No, THIS IS NOT PLUG AND PLAY, I learned the hard way that you still have to drill a hole through the input to allow the dishwasher to drain. The air switch was quite simple, i drilled a hole through the front of the cabinet since i had no place to go up on the counter with it.

Super easy quiet and works great

I was so scared to install this never did it before I was done in 2 hours and I took breaks and YouTubed alot. Never knew of an air switch but it's something u press once and your goodie let it dangle under the sink.

Awesome buy

Came with all the parts needed and is the quietest disposal that I have ever owned - great value.

Chops apples nicely.

Used this for my apple chunker on a cider press. It will almost take a full apple at once. Works better if the apple is halfed or quartered. Quite and seems to be powerful.

Very good for the money, better than higher prices one.

Great, quiet

Quiet and strong

Love it, easy to install except I didn't use the flex drain that came with it. Food pieces filling up inside it would have made more work for me someday I'm sure. Had this a few months and it eats just about anything you toss into it. Came with the air switch and it was needed since this old house never had a disposal before. The switch fit right in the upper corner to the right of the sink and was still inside the sink base but could have put a hole in the top corner of the sink base to the top left corner of the dishwasher area; as an option. Found this unit to be the cost of a name brand 1/2 HP but this does a ton more work than a 1/2 HP unit. Wife is from the Philippines and you need to know they don't have appliances like this yet. She'd freak out whenever I cleared off plates of food into it, worried the drain would clog up. Now she uses it more than we need to. She loves tossing things down the drain for fun I think. But buying this was not tossing funds down the drain. Very pleased with the price and quality.
