Review on WasteMaid 10-US-WM-058-3B Anti-Jam Garbage Disposal - Corrosion Proof Stainless Steel Food Waste Grinding System, Odor Protection, 0.5 HP Economy, Black by Patrick Cox

OK. The block is 99% plastic, but today it is not: the mounting neck, inner blades, propeller shaft and feed tube flange are the only metal parts of this block. The block is smaller in circumference than any other block I've had. , which means you'll have more space under your sink if you haven't changed your disposer in the last year or you'll be pleasantly surprised. Installation on the sink side is easier than older units (sink part only), literally insert the inlet hose (on top/into the sink), unscrew the large plastic ring (see plastic) from bottom to top and it's in place. Then there's the latch. huge bolt! The entire unit hangs on the supply pipe without screws. ...seriously nothing but a rubber washer that presses against the feed tube with a metal clamp over it, and that rubber washer keeps the whole thing hanging. I thought it would NEVER hang here, but it is. and it actually dampens vibrations and makes the device quieter. Now here's the catch. Lift the disposal by the feed tube bracket to hang. Listener, then lift the trash can until it snaps onto the metal ring's ears, twist the ring and it snaps into place! what to do?!?. If you haven't read this, you're going to throw it in the trash, send it back. Hit it with a hammer!. Seriously, it's that bad, yes, it didn't even work). OK. Now place the metal clip over the feed tube, then take the rubber pad and push it halfway up to your mouth (DO NOT PUSH all the way over your lip and DO NOT even consider pushing it all the way as instructed.) Once it here is , lift the bin as high as possible by the tubes and then pull the metal tab/latch DOWN over the ears on the disposer as far as it will go until the item is tightened and held in place. NOTE: 2 people is best for this (1 holds until you raise the collar and the other lowers and twists) but this can be done alone (which I did) but I provided something to make it as high as possible to hold so I would only have to lift it slightly by pulling down with everything I had. Now, after installation, you probably don't have a plug under your sink and are thinking about cutting the plug on the unit to a solid cord. DO NOT DO IT! Not only is it dangerous because the wiring isn't the same, but it's also a potential wet area if the case shorts out or the wires break. fire, death. Not worth the $15 prefab box (plastic body) and outlet. Just run the power line into the box, into the socket. , screw to the wood under the sink and insert. It's easy and you can easily (in minutes) replace it in the future. Revain sells the outlet. Re, just add 1 socket and 1 mounting box (outside socket), the box holds the socket so you don't have the socket hanging under the sink (I recommend a surge protected socket if it gets wet etc.). The good news is it's quiet, powerful and will crush anything you can throw at it! Enjoy!
