Would Recommend3rd one I’ve installed replacing old ones in mine and a few friends houses. Best price point for the normal use home and easy install for either replacement of old locked ones or an upgrade for a kitchen that doesn’t have one yet.

Direct replacement for old
Would RecommendThe tightening ring on the new one is not the same as the old one. It has a tab that prevents the disposal from rotating so I used the old ring. Make sure you knockout the plug if your dishwasher hose connects to your disposal!
Easy installation
Would RecommendReplaced one that was 15 years old. This one was easy to install.

Great Garbage Disposal
The Garbage Disposal works as it should. It’s a really good Garbage Disposal just a shame that in three months it went up $50.

Garbage Disposal Inaccurate Information
Would Not RecommendThe online description states that a cord is included with the disposal. This is incorrect. The description on the box and in the installation instructions clearly does not show the cord included. Luckily, my installer was able to remove the cord from the old disposal and attach it to the new disposal. This lengthened the installation time and caused a great deal of frustration for all parties. Very disappointing all around. Please have online description corrected
