Our previous disposal, also an Insinkerator, had recently died and the plumber confirmed that. Using Consumer Reports for trusted, unbiased reviews, this was their number one pick and it cost less than other lower rated ones. Not the cheapest, but I’m super pleased with how quiet it is, and the batch feed feature ensure my little kids won’t accidentally turn it on when they reach for a spoon they dropped. I opted to have a pro plumber install it, so that increased the overall price, and I had watched a video online about installing it, but I didn’t want to risk it.
