Product review (1 stars): If you want the food to go down the disposal, choose something else!
Awful! This seems like one of those products that someone thought of, created, and never bothered to test.

The house we bought was missing the splash guard on the garbage disposal so we purchased this one.  Fits perfectly.  The only problem is, the plastic is SO STIFF we have to push it open with a carefully placed spoon in order to get anything to go down.  Even coffee grounds and ...water...!

After a couple of weeks, my husband snipped the tips of each of the flaps on the splash guard, leaving a hole about the size of a quarter in the center.  Even this didn't help the inflexible plastic, and tonight we are replacing a burnt out garbage disposal because the food gets caught on the splash guard, and doesn't allow sufficient water to go into the drain/disposal.

My husband showed me the splash guard that came with the new disposal unit - it's as supple as a piece of well-worn leather.  The complete opposite! What else is there to say?
