We remodeled our kitchen two years ago, installing an island with a second sink in it. I let my husband talk me into another quieter Insinkerator and have been regretting it ever since., Nothing goes down the disposal without assistance. I use my wooden spoons, but the company should have included a "pusher" with every unit. I get angry every time I use it. The sink fills up with water and the food just sits there. I want to just remove the darn thing, but my husband says it is unsafe. I don't care about the noise, I just want an alternative to this poorly designed baffle. On top of everything, it couldn't even handle sweet potatoe peelings on Thanksgiving. The whole sytem clogged and we had to call the plumber.
