Product review (2 stars): Wish I'd gotten an Insinkerator
Got this from another place a couple years ago and just recently got it installed. I'm not very impressed. The grinding seems fine enough, and it's reasonably quiet, but the splash guard is HORRIBLE! It's very stiff and has actually started to curl up at the tips, catching and holding back even the smallest bits of food. I hate it. As another commenter said, food won't go through it but silverware passes easily down. To get food through it you have to punch it through with the handle of a wooden utensil, which is really gross since the back side of the splash guard is covered in funk so you just funked up the handle of the utensil.  Also, it often slides out with the utensil when you pull it out, so you have to handle it to get it back in.  Unfortunately, it is truly so bothersome, since we cook pretty much daily in this household, that I'll be pulling this out and replacing it with an Insinkerator soon. Too bad, because but for that one MAJOR flaw it seems to work fine.
