Product review (5 stars): Installed it today very happy
When my Badger insinkerator or whatever they call it..started to leak through rusted housing, I wanted to try something else. Luckily I found this brand which had no negative reviews so I thought heck lets give it a try. The one thing that I was concerned about was that this one appears slimmer than the one it would replace so I was a bit worried about the plumbing connections coming up short. When it came time to hook it all up, the old plumbing fit perfectly. This one comes with a little U shape plumbing pipe but I didn't have to use it. I used the old pipe to hook directly to the new disposer as the double sink setup shows in the instructions drawing. The only thing though is that you must use the new screws as the old ones from the old disposer are not the same thread size as this one. Everything went smooth. Some brands actually want you to splice wires etc.. come on give me a break.. Nothing like that here. Plugs right into the outlet. Getting the old disposer out was harder than installing this new one. Cleaned up all the putty and what not from the old disposer installed this one didn't need anything. The plumbing lines are all hand tightened so no need for plumbing wrench. But if you are a bit over weight and out of shape like I am (ha )you will know it when you try to crawl up under the sink and move around reaching up etc. Its like doing sit ups. You may need to take a break. Im happy with this purchase, the price is cheaper than the old pile of rusting junk it replaced. This one has stainless steel housing that will certainly last much longer. I don't expect any problems but if I do will come back and edit review.
