I didn't buy mine from Amazon but we like this unit. If you are replacing an existing InSinkErator unit it's pretty easy. I replaced mine in about a half hour. Instructions are simple even if you are replacing another brand. It's bigger than my previous unit but other than using a hacksaw to take a couple inches off the PVC pipe that feeds into the J-pipe there were no fitment issues. It doesn't have a power cord so be prepared for that. One thing to note, you can use whatever cord you already have - just snip it off and re-wire to the new unit. Careful though that you make sure you identify the positive and negative hook-up on the existing unit before cutting the cables. My existing power cable did not identify the +/- so I had to mark which wires were connected to the units +/- prior to removing so I could reconnect with the new one properly. The unit is VERY quiet. I tossed a few things down there and I thought the thing wasn't even working at first. I put half an apple down there and it was practically silent. Nice work! Anyway, highly recommend. Hopefully this unit lasts longer than my previos InSinkErator which was the Badger 5 I think - it's the $99 unit that the builders put into my house and we're not sure what happened to it. It just locked up and no amount of turning with the hex wrench freed up whatever was jammed up in there.

This disposal system I thought was the best value for the price. There is one model up that is about 100 more dollars and much bigger, the only advantage is it is a little quieter. I notice this particular model is quiet enough. Especially if you bought a cookie cutter house and replacing the base model Badger! Good: Easy to install Very quiet Reduces vibration also Room for improvement: You can install yourself, but it is heavy so make sure everything is lined up just right. Cost may be much for some, but if you need quiet in your house (like say to not wake a baby up) then this is the model for you.

I am very pleased with my new InSinkErator Food Disposer. Very quiet, grinds quickly and throughly, easy to install, my second InSinkErator and they are very dependable. Would recommend.
