I just finished a kitchen remodel and I am searching for ideas to modify (cut) this collar baffle! I am so tired of having to remove the baffle so that my sink will drain! It is a messy nightmare and when I mentioned this to my sister, who is a kitchen/bath designer, she acknowledged that EVERYONE complains about this product. She told me to fabricate/cut mine in order to allow the water to drain from the sink faster. I'm not sure what to do. I know I hate having to go through this each time I use my beautiful new sink and faucet. When I pull the baffle out of the flange and the disposer is working- the noise is awful and I get splashed with dirty sink water! Yuck.
