Good, good, but not without problems

This is a well made kit that does what it says on the tin. Remember that reservoirs don't last forever - they usually start to leak. All is well; we are on the 3rd it is good to have hot water But there are subtleties. The instructions need correction, for example "less than 1-1/2" should read as "greater than 1-1/2". Also requires a 1/4" compression fitting, which is NOT included. Also, the chilled water copper line is over a foot shorter than in the past, so you may need an extension hose to…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some flaws

Works great, breaks often

We bought our first InSinkErator on August 7th, 2017 and it worked great but only 17 months. It died in March 2019 (no longer heating up) and was replaced by InSinkErator with little effort. The replacement then died in May 2020 (probably from Covid1) after just 14 months. So that's 3 different divisions in 2 1/2 years. Not a long lifespan. Glad they gave a 3 year guarantee. However, I had to fight to get them to pay for the third one to be installed. They said the warranty was expired. Luckily

Pros
  • Quality workmanship
Cons
  • Repair

Installation as specified not possible!

I bought this to replace an old Insinkerator Hot 1 that broke. The hole in my countertop is 1 1/4" in diameter and the specs for this product say it can be installed in a 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" hole. But I found that this is not the case. This version - H-WaveC - does not fit in the existing hole. I called the installation help hotline to see what I could be doing wrong and the tech said the hole should be 1 1/2 If it is and the techs know then why does the datasheet say that Product can be installed

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Not the best

Leaking water from inside the faucet and poor customer service.

Let me start by saying this will be the 5th house I have installed a hot water system so I am familiar with the product. I connected the system and immediately there was a leak on the line side (water IN) from the copper pipe in the faucet. I can't twist or change anything there, it flows through the pipe from the inside. I spent 40 minutes speaking to a customer service rep who kept saying how unusual it was to have a leak there. Well, unusual or not, that's where it leaks. Eventually she…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Not sure

Works well but is NOISY and requires a 1-1/2 " hole, NOT a 1-1/4 " hole!

InSinkErator H-WaveSN-SS Involve Wave Instant Hot Water System The product works as expected, but I have a few caveats for anyone considering buying it: 1) It's LOUD. About every hour or so, the unit heats the water and I can hear it from across the room, even when it's under my sink with the closet doors closed. It's a bit like a truck driving past a house a block away. The manufacturer says to lower the temp, but mine now only releases about 160 degrees of water. If I lower it even further…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Safety

So far so good the best water dispensers and coolers

Overall the product works as advertised and I am very happy with the purchase. If you have read previous reviews and have any doubts, please take a look at my experience: 1. Granite/Stone Pole Extension Tube is now included: DO NOT BUY SEPARATELY. I read in a previous review that I would need it, so I ordered it along with the faucet. I lost $5 on the return.2. I had to slightly enlarge the 1.5" hole in my counter (mainly because the original hole was drilled 1-2 degrees off axis). I DON'T NEED

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • I will write later

Use a pre-filter or reverse osmosis for longer life.

My Insinkerator Wave is 4 years and 4 months old. For the first time with this model. I've owned my home for 28 years and have always had some sort of Insinker hot water model. Most only lasted 2-3 years before the heater failed, the heater leaked, or the dispenser leaked/failed. So far (knock on wood) this one is still going strong. We use it daily for tea/coffee (hot side), drinking water, people and pets (cold side). I believe the longevity of this unit is due to the fact that I installed a…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Dear

Good product with few reservations

This is the third InSinkErator hot water dispenser in 24 years so overall we are happy with it. It is very convenient to have hot water at the touch of a button. The style of the newer versions is much nicer than the previous ones. After installation it works very well. There are a couple of minor complaints: (1) Although the specs say the device should heat up to 200 degrees, I've found that even at the highest temperature it only gets to 190-195. It was the same with the previous two…

Pros
  • Everything super!
Cons
  • Issues

Small but subtle changes over the years

This is the third InSinkErator water heater we have installed since 2005. A lifespan of 5 years seems unnecessarily short, but apparently such a lifespan is not uncommon. We considered other brands, but several factors led us back to InSinkerator. Other brands may not have a tank, but their installation requirements are different enough to cause some inconvenience when connecting. The same wall mount can be used with the InSinkErator, allowing the new device to be easily hung on the wall…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
