Original one lasted 25 years. Replacement only lasted 2-years, sprung a leak in the bottom, developed excessive corrosion, water all over under the sink. This unit is not at all the same quality as it used to be. The motor sounds weaker, it grinds OK but not as good as the original one. It gets stuck sometimes, and when it does work it sounds like the motor is struggling. It doesn't come with a cord! It doesn't come with a cord restraint! The instructions are really bad with multiple languages mixed together. It tells you to skip steps if replacing an existing unit, and then you have to go back to the beginning of the instructions because what they said was not correct. Be aware that if you have a Dishwasher, there is a drain plug in place that needs to be knocked out with a screw driver. It needs to be a small screw driver and it is gently hammered on the edge of the plug inside, in several locations all around and then removed with needle nose pliers.
