Product review (1 stars): Junk! Junk! Junk!
Well, this confirms my beliefs most amazon reviews are fake just trumped up to sell products.
I have owned 3 insinkerators with mixed feelings so after reading the positive reviews I decided to switch brands and take a chance on the Commodore.
First thing right off the bat is the plastic basket strainer. Why would you make something that needs to hold a heavy torquing motor out of plastic? While tightening the bottom retaining nut by hand it strips the threads so you cannot tighten it sufficiently. The next problem is the small opening in the basket that does not even let water run through not to mention food scraps. When you run the water in the sink with any force it backs up. Even with the disposer running the water goes down very slow. Next problem is the weak motor. It bogs down to almost a crawl when trying to grind, even clear water makes it labor and slows it down. Not sure what I am going to do now but this thing is a waste of $70 bucks. Maybe I'll try a aftermarket strainer or go back to insinkerator.
