Product review (4 stars): Works very well as long as you bought the right version!
Didn't realize the difference and thought we would need a plug either way; turns out there are two kinds of these and if you don't have one that plugs in, don't order one with the cords/plugs included. Mea culpa there; I'm not very bright where that is all concerned. Nonetheless, this replaced our 5/8 HP Badger that was getting old and my husband was able to hotwire it since I bought the plugin kind instead of the separately wired kind. He did this in about an hour while I was buying groceries, so I give it a high ranking. The only deduction is that they should probably have some sort of message somewhere for cretins like myself that there are two different versions of each and you're not necessarily saving your spouse (or yourself) a trip to the hardware store by buying the one that comes with more cords...so caveat emptor there. Otherwise, it's working great and we are extremely grateful to have a fully functioning disposal again in the heat of summer when no one wants to put food garbage in the garage till trash day!
