I did not buy this product.  It was already installed when I moved in.  I don't know how old or how long it had been there, but it began to leak at the bottom, making it impossible to use 1/2 of my dual basin sink without a bucket underneath which would have to be constantly emptied.

Knowing nothing about plumbing, I figured it was old and needed to be replaced.

Thinking that if I buy the identical model, my lack of plumbing skills would not be as big a problem taking out the old broken one and putting in the new one.

After seeing how many reviews indicated problems with leaking, which my old one does, I am no longer sure I should try to replace with the identical model.

The number of people complaining about it leaking out of the bottom couldn't be some sort of coincidence.  I really looked over my existing one and could not determine where or how the leak was coming from, but a broken/cracked inner casing explains it very well.

I am not sure anymore that this is a do-it-yourself project for me.  I am just glad and thankful for everyone's honest reviews.
