I got this to replace a brand new Moen host series that was sent to me with a cracked or broken seal which we all know cannot be replaced and cost over $160. This unit is 100% quieter, was much easier to install is smaller and weighs less but does a better job than any other garbage disposal I've ever had.
NOTE: If you hardwire this instead of plugging this into an outlet like I have to do, do not open the unit and remove the power cord, just cut the plug off the end and strip the wires so you can connect the wires from the existing cord to your existing hardwires/electric

Quiet and simple to install. Just make sure you need a corded and not a hard wired. Works great. Less expensive than the big box places

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2015
Installed this on a cast iron sink, which is thicker than most, so this should install on any sink. I would suggest using plumbers putty instead of the rubber gasket supplied for the drain flange. This will eliminate any possibility of leaking.

Took me about an hour to install because the connection of the disposal to the flange is slightly different than I have seen before. Directions were OK, but took a little studying to be sure I was doing it correctly. Would probably take me about 20 minutes to install if I had to do another one. It is really that easy.

All of my former units were hard wired. This has a plug, so I just added a female socket to my Romex. In about 5 minutes, it was plugged in. You can get one of these from any hardware store or big box.

With respect to the few people that said their plumber had trouble or could not install this unit...I would call the Mario Brothers, as they probably have better training and could install this while they were jumping over turtles and grabing coins.

One other observation that some people may care about that is not clear from the picture above: the sink flange is bright, shiny metal, not the brushed, dull metal look I have found on most disposals. If this does not meet your decor, I believe you can buy a brushed metal flange, but check that out before you buy this model.

What I like about this unit:

1) Small. Takes up about one half of the space of my former unit. Largely because of the permanent magnet.

2) Uses very little electricity. Hooked it up to a Kill-A-Watt meter, and it read 70 watts while running.

3) Quiet. I asked my wife to listen to how quiet this is. She said turn it on. I said it IS on! Seriously, it is that quiet while running. I tested it with a decibel meter at a distance from the sink to my ears, and it registered 60-65 decibels! For those of you who are not familiar with the scale, this is about the loudness of a normal conversation. From 10 feet away the decibel reading dropped to about 40 Dbs. You would have a hard time telling it was running with normal background noise. It sometimes does make a louder clicking sound when turned on, but only for a fraction of a second. Now, that decibel level is without any food being ground. It is about 5 Dbs higher while grinding depending what you put into it.

4) As far as grinding power, it appears as good or better than the 3/4 HP I replaced. We compost, so we put very little food waste down a disposal, largely out of concern for the environment and our sewer lines. But I tested it with a chicken leg bone, and it was gone in about 10 seconds.

5) Stainless steel interior components should help it to last a long time.

So unless you grind a lot food waste, this unit should be more than you would need at a very reasonable price.

I like the size of this disposal. It won't take too much space under the sink. It works as expected and installation is fairly easy. The only complaint I have is it starts with a loud click sound when turning it on. While it is running, the noise level is fine.

This product was easy to install, very quiet, and powerful. Plus, it was inexpensive so how could you go wrong with the purchase?

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple Install and quiet
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2024
We are renovating a rental house we recently purchased and replaced the counters, sink and some cabinets. the place never had a disposal. This installed in the sick easily. There is a drain that comes with it you put into the sin. you need Plumbers Putty to seal the drain and then you screw on the retainer ring below and there are screw posts that tighten it all down. Quite simple really. We ran the dishwasher hose to the included attachment and this plugs in to a socket which was perfect for our install. We have used it for about a month now and it has had no problems and is quiet as well. Please with this.

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024
I bought this based on other positive reviews. The profile is slim and fit perfectly into the narrow plumbing under my sink. It was very easy to install with the modern mounting system. I wouldn't call it "whisper-quiet" as some people describe, more like "Hungarian throat singer" level. That's a huge win over the monstrous roar of my former disposal. A magnetic collar is included that is supposed to catch silverware before it takes a dive into the grinder. It is a clever idea but the magnets are far too weak to catch anything. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. It is FAR better than the chubby, expensive models at the big box stores.
