I installed the XTR about three weeks ago and it has been a very quality product. Installation was very easy (I am an average DIYer), and it replaced my old Badger 9 exactly. Install time was about 30 mins for the unit and another 20 for the air switch. The unit itself is so quiet, even when being fed, that I have to remember to turn it off. I love the double chopping chambers and have had no slow down even with a full feed. I find that it does drain water slower when not turned on, however, this is a minor inconvenience. I definitely recommend the XTR.
