sejetsejet: I have 3 of these in my house. One went bad. Replaced with InSinkErator Badger 5XP Garbage Disposal. Easy to install, except trying to hold this thing up with one hand while putting unit into place and trying to lock it lock in.
Answer by SEJET!
Find one number 10 tin can. (DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A PICKLE CAN :) Cut off the top, (TAKE OUT THE PICKLES) put the cord inside the can, place disposal on top and slide into place. Perfect fit, giving you about an 1/8 of an inch wiggle worm to work with. Once in the right place, insert the tip of a long flat screw driver under disposal to the middle, lift unit up and turn the can. Bingo! Done. Now you can eat the pickles or put them down the drain if you don't like pickles.

BLD: I had a builder grade 1/3 HP Insinkerator. It was about 6 years old and decided to literally blow a gasket and leak all over the cabinet floor. Water poured from everywhere. This was a really simple replacement and is so much more powerful. Worth the additional $$ IMHO. 2 things to remember. Buy plumber's putty. You will need it to attach the flange and seal. And do not forget to knock out the dishwasher plug if attaching a dishwasher. Yes that it the "I am in a a hurry" voice of experience speaking.

Christine: This product is made in such a way that an improper connection to the drain seal will leak through the unit as opposed to the outside making it seem as though the product is defective. If you find that new unit is leaking out the bottom even though you see water on the outside, make sure you have properly installed and seated the new seal provided with the unit. Do not reuse the seal from old unit, especially if it was a different model number. Also, make sure your old one doesn’t just need a seal replacement if it’s not too old and bottom leaking.

nWo4Life: So overall the model was compatible to swap out without having to purchase additional parts, but your mileage may vary depending on your current connection and configuration.

The biggest differences between my older 2002 model and this new replacement was how the discharge connects from the disposal to the plumbing.

My older model had a discharge that had a THREADED discharge connection, which would allow you to use a direct connect PVC screw/push connector to seal the plumbing pipe to the disposal unit.

The new model, does NOT have a threaded discharge connection at all. Instead, it uses a flat sunken gasket with rubber seal, and provide you with its own elbow pipe to connect to the disposal.

This difference is huge in regard to how the pipes will run and the height they will run underneath your sink. If your current Insinkerator has a screw on connection from your plumbing that goes directly into the side of the disposal, you will run into the same issue I did. The discharge from the newer Insinkerator will now be 3-4 inches LOWER than your current plumbing, and it will also be facing downward, and not sideways.

How did I overcome this and use...

Cliente de Amazon: Tritura perfectamente todos los residuos de comida, vegetales y otros productos organicos.
El uso de este equipo es prioritario para la cocina, pues nada organico se deposita en el cesto
de basura y por consiguiente se evitan los malos olores.

Abbey: Having a garbage disposal is life changing. I have a finicky cat who doesn’t always eat her wet cat food. It was time consuming and took a bit of manual effort to rinse the cat food down the drain. This garbage disposal makes life easier.

Sound level is about the same as a vacuum cleaner. Not horrible but not exactly peace and quiet either.

I paired this with an $24 air switch and it works great: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WTTTGCH?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details.

This does not come with a power cord, so remember to buy one (approx, $11): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BQWXG2?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details.

To make it easy on yourself or your plumber, buy this + power cord + air switch.

It’s nice to have a kitchen faucet that can pull out and help rinse any food down the drain. I got this one from $200 Delta one and it works well: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087466GKM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details.

I have used this primarily to get wet cat food down the drain. It works great. I put a peach pit in the garbage disposal one time and the disposal took care of it. It was really loud and didn’t...
