This item replaced the same make product that gave us excellent service for over 14 years. When I unpacked the new unit I noticed that the external look of the new unit had cleaner lines than our old model but other than that they looked to be pretty much the same.
After installing the power cord and knocking out the dishwasher drain plug, the new unit just slipped into the locking lugs of the older unit with no problem. A quick turn and it was locked into place and with the drain fittings lined up and ready to connect.
I turned on the water, hit the power button and was pleasantly surprised. It was much quieter than our old unit and the dishwasher drain didn't exit out the overflow and spread dishwasher dirty water all over the sink. All in all, we c couldn't be happier with the new unit and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality product
