    Finalmente ho smesso di buttare ogni giorno l’umido
    di contro non ha nel pacco il comando remoto e bisogna stare attenti a ci che si mette a tritare.. le verdure filamentose ostruiscono i tubi

    L’ho preso in sostituzione del modello che gi avevo della stessa marca ed ottimo per famiglie per 2-3 persone.
    Installato senza problemi, necessita solo un un interruttore da comprare a parte.

    This is a direct replacement for the older 45 model, you just need to use the original pipe work with this new model as the newer supplied pipe work is slightly different, but using the old pipe work it is literally a 10 minute job to swap over, hope this one lasts 15 years like the old model did, very robust units

    It works but I wasn’t at all clear (because who would imagine that a waste disposal could come without a switch!) that such a thing existed!

    This is just a perfect device that replaced my old one exactly.. A little tricky to install – as there is not much room under the sink but works a treat and seems a little quieter than the old one.

    I could not beat the price and is therefore great value for money. Insinkerator is the market leading waste disposal unit provider and are highly recommended. Really happy customer.

    Somewhat difficult to lift into place in limited cupboards as very heavy. Needs at least 3 hands and strong arms! Otherwise good value. Replaced Model 45. Slight pipe change required.

    This was bought as a replacement for a completely different manufacturer’s model which finally failed after many years of faithful service.

    This one is much quieter than its predecessor and more powerful. The instructions for fitting it were excellent – good diagrams, good use of English, very clear and unambiguous. The plumbing was entirely compatible with the old one so no issues there. I also like the fact that the rubber fingers through which you must feed the device are fastened to the device itself – on its predecessor this just sat in the bottom of the tube and eventually it got lost.

    As per one of the other reviews, my wife and I struggled to hold it firmly in place with sufficient pressure to get all 3 zones of the fitting to grip at the same time. Towards the end I figured I would have to follow suit and use a car jack to support it – that’s when it dawned on me that our cars today don’t come with a jack and we might have to borrow one – but one final effort from us both and we did succeed in getting it up high enough, with enough force, and held level to get the fitting to grip.

    Let’s hope it now gives as good a service as its predecessor.

    This model doesn’t use a pressure switch – our kitchen has a switch on the wall hence we intentionally chose the model that does not have the pressure switch. We just cut the plug off and connected it in the same way as its predecessor (via a junction box to a fused spur).

    I love this product cuts down my bin waste by nearly half. Easy to install, clear instructions. My only criticism is this model does not come with the button so you would have to buy this separately.. (which could work out more expensive than the next midel up) unless this is a replacement for you. Also I feel it is quite noisy- and the jump in price to the next model is quite high so if you don’t mind the noise for a few seconds… i would recommend this model.

    A doddle to install and much better at macerating food waste than the old British built unit which burnt out after only 18 months service and constantly sent solid lumps down the drain causing blockages – bonus the new unit is quieter too !!

Really useful at getting rid of pretty much all food waste. Only waste it can’t deal with are things like stringy veg like leek, carrot or parsnips peelings as they can knot around the motor.

    After consulting the UK distributor of the InSinkErator, I placed an order which arrived the very next day – two days earlier than predicted!
    The equipment came with very clear installation instructions. However there was a problem connecting the waste pipes – the distributor said that the new model 46 was fully compatible with the previous model 45 in terms of connections. This advice has proved to be incorrect, and I am still finding difficulty in connecting the new model to my waste system.
    Once this problem is solved I am sure the InSinkErator will perform well.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersHaving very limited space my choice of disposers were limited but this one, which replaces a 15year old similar model) does the job quietly and efficiently. Excellent step by step instructions.
    Fitting involves lifting with one hand while rotating a locking ring with the other. I found this hard because the disposer has to be pressed firmly onto the rubber seals and kept very straight to engage all three locking tags. In the end I lifted it on a small car jack! Otherwise installation was straightforward

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersTotally impressed. The delivery was next day. The product comes well packaged and includes the plastic pipe and fixings for connection to standard drain and standard sink. Luckily the sink part was standard enough that I could just twist off the old unit and replace it with this one. The drain was slightly different but didn’t take long to adjust. Build quality seems very good and the noise is not excessive. The fitting instructions are really clear and the guy that wrote them should be awarded some sort of prize for their clarity. All in all very good product. The rubber seal that goes into the unit has a sort of tapered bullet shape that goes in to the unit first. I found it easier to fully locate the rubber seal and pipe then screw the plate in place. But mostly the instructions are very clear.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersHo avuto modo di verificare ” ad occhio ” le differenze col precedente modello 45, questo il 46. Fisicamente identico, ha particolari interni leggermente piu’ robusti e funzionali, non detto pero’ che duri temporalmente di piu’. Il modello 45 durato 29 mesi in tutto ed il punto debole stato il materiale con cui realizzata la vasca interna, stampo in acciaio zincato, credo.
