Great USA made product!! February 2, 2008
I bought mine at Ace Hardware and paid $179. A little higher then most here paid but the guy spent 15 minutes explaining how to get the old out and the new in.
It's a great product. Super quiet and grinding all the food I put in it. Was very easy to install and I would say the instructions were pretty good. Much better then most. The electrical was an easy hook-up. A couple of wire nuts and it's done. Took me less then 45 minutes to remove the old and install the new one, can't ask for a simpler install. I did do it myself but an extra hand would have been helpful as it's heavy and hard to hold when you latch it back on. I really like the removable rubber flange. My last one was not removable.
I mentioned this before but super quiet, I can't believe how quiet.
Product is made in the USA and I like that. Money that says home is well spent.
Breeze to install and works quietly January 19, 2008

I'm a first time homeowner and I installed it with no problem. The instructions are very clear. If you have a previous InSinkErator, the installation can be even faster because you don't have to install the top portion of the disposal. However, I went ahead and did it anyways because I liked how the new logo looks in the sink. The compact design really came in handy for my tight sink space. The best part is that it is really quiet (as far as garbage disposals go). Finally, the four year warranty is a great benefit.

I replaced an Insinkerator Badger 5, which had started to make strange noises after 14 years of use, with this unit. The timing was right because the price was right. There's no comparison between this unit and the Badger 5. The Badger frightened some of my family when they used it because of the noise level. This unit is extremely quiet and works quickly and efficiently, barely audible with the faucet on and installation was quick and easy.

Unfortunately I had to buy mine at a "big box" store as Christmas was looming and I had to work fast. It truly is so quiet that I have to double check the wall switch to make sure it is off. I liked this more compact model as it was difficult enough to hold and fit on the mount...anything bigger would have been more than a one man job and there is not a lot of room under most sinks. It was not really a difficult job, however, I have a skill level that turns a one hour job into an all afternoon project. I suppose most people have plumbers putty, wire nuts, etc. I had to run to the store to finish the job up and of course that always adds on another hour. Given that, I must say that it took a lot of sheer strength to hold it with one hand and tighten the ring on. It was not easy and it took a little vaseline to get the rubber to slide in it's mount properly. Having said all this, when I actually turned it on, as another reader said, I was beginning to wonder if I might have crossed wires or something. Nope, it really is that quiet. Oh yes, it also seems to grind up things with vigor. I feel good about the purchase and that is not always the case. My only experience was about five years ago when I put one in our old house. It seems I had the same trouble getting it to link up with the sink that time as well. I could actually install it in an hour now but I hope this won't be a problem again for many years. Hopefully my friends and relatives won't read this review.
Happy I purchased this item December 24, 2007
During the late stage of our modest size, but total kitchen remodel, I searched a variety of options before deciding to "splurge" on this compact model garbage disposal. I originally had my mind set on the "badger" line, which was cheaper and fairly effective. But after some thought (and a gift certificate to subsidize the cost), I chose this. Boy, am I not regretting it.
As the other reviews mention, this is definitely quiet, and a bit smaller than the other units, so you can still salvage some storage space under your sink. When you turn it on, you notice a slight hum, but no vibration. Even the water doesn't make a huge noise when the garbage disposal is whisking it away; the water seems to drain normally as if the unit wasn't on.
It has worked flawlessly against the typical fare - eggshells, meat, stale bread and fruit peels. I was surprised to not hear any crunching at all with the eggshells. The running water is *almost* louder than the disposal itself! I think the appropriate description is: it's so quiet, you think that the rotating element has broken, and you're just listening to the shorted-out hum of the unit. You're not really convinced it works until you shove something down there. Just be careful!
