Our first Insinkerator lasted 3 years. It started dripping slowly from the spout, then faster and faster. So we replaced it with the same model. We expect it to last 3 years, too. We love our Insinkerator and give it 5 stars for functionality and appearance. However, we give it 3 stars for durability and 2 stars for ease of installation, as we have to have a plumber install it.

Nevertheless, when this one breaks we'll get a third one. The Insinkerator saves time and water, because you are not waiting for the faucet to get hot or using your microwave to heat water.
