Title: Lasted 3.5 years. Try another brand. (Waste King)
Product review: I installed this heater in 2007. Shortly after 3 years of operation, the unit began tripping the ground-fault plug erratically. Suspecting a faulty plug I replaced it with a new one. Same problem. Eventually the plastic heating element cover melted down and began to smoke.I took the unit apart and found that all of the heating element connections were plastic and melted. No way to repair the unit with a new heating element either. I was forced to throw it away and buy a new one.Because of others reviews I purchased the Waste King unit and I am very impressed so far. All metal cover and heavier than the Insinkerator. The faucet is also of higher quality than the Insinkerator. For $75 less, there is no reason not to buy the Waste King unit, even if it last 3 years (although reviews have indicated more reliable operation out of the Waste King units.)
