Black flange finish poor
After about 6 months the black finish is coming off, I use a grate so nothing touches the sink

Response from INSINKERATORSep 7, 2021
Hi Johnnyd730, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Several reasons affect the finish of the flange. Constant exposure without thorough water rinse to high acid foods, vinegar, and abrasive cleaners may affect the surface. Also, powder-coated finishes tend to be more delicate and may scratch or peel over time. We recommend using a damp cloth for cleaning purposes. Should you need further help, you can reach us through https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask.
    Black Matte Finish Chips Don’t Buy
    Don’t buy lasted only 9 months before the black matte finish chipped - no exposure to chemicals or abrasive cleaners were used even have a sink rack as a barrier to prevent any sharp item that might scratch, nick, or gouge the finish. Recommend InSinkErator’s “stringent quality control methods” be re-evaluated to identify the cause for this adverse customer trend, take a corrective action to mitigate recurrence which should provide the customer a longer lasting part

      Chipped.
      We bought this to match our sink. Chipped after a month. We didn’t do anything that should have caused it.

        My plumber installed it so I don't know if it is easy to install but it matches the faucet, soap dispenser and garbage disposal button very well.

        Do not buy this
        The black is already chipping off after 11 months. Very poor quality. Don’t buy this unless you plan on replacing it every year.

        Hi Ken1971, I'm sorry to hear about the issue you experienced. The Matte Black sink flange has a baked, powder coating on the stainless steel flange. Powder coated finishes tend to be more delicate and may scratch or peel over time if exposed to chemical or abrasive cleaners as well as any sharp item that might scratch, nick, or gouge the finish. We recommend using a damp cloth for cleaning purposes. Be assured that we have stringent quality control methods in place to ensure you receive a high quality, long-lasting product. Your feedback is important to us and will be shared with our Engineering and Quality Control team.

          Hi, we regret the hassle that you’ve had to replace your sink flange. We want to understand what happened just as much as you do. Please know that powder-coated finishes tend to be more delicate that’s why it should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. I hope the new one exceeds your expectation. Should you encounter any issues in the future, you may reach us here - https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask.

          Poor Lifespan
          Remodeled my kitchen early this spring and was so happy to have found a matching matte blank sink flange but while cleaning with just soap and dish towel a large chunk of the coating just came off. Would like to replace but not sure this product is worth the price tag a second time around if its only gonna last 3 months. Is there any warranty on this product?!

          Hi Trish, I’m very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused and truly understand your frustration. There are several reasons that may affect the finish of the flange. Prolonged exposure to chemical or abrasive cleaners can affect the surface, as well as any sharp item that might scratch the finish. Like many other coated products, the finish may also wear over time. We recommend cleaning it with a damp cloth. The colored sink flange is an accessory and not part of the original disposer. As an accessory, it does not have a warranty. Should you still need further assistance, you may reach us at insinkeratorfeedback@emerson.com.

            Disappointed in this Flange
            We purchased this in September 2020 during our kitchen remodel. We had a black sink installed and wanted this seamless look. We have always had a protective steel grid in the sinks to protect them, so it was truly disappointing to see that the paint has started to flake off of this flange after only 5 months! There are only two of us in the home and we rarely cook so I have no idea why this flange is starting to flake away. This product definitely has not lived up to our expectations.

              Finish Doesn't Last
              The black finish only lasted about 6 months, now its starting to peel. We keep a rack in the bottom of our sink so nothing even touches the black sink flange. Don't buy unless you want to replace every 6 months.

                  Only in use for a few months in my kitchen sink and has a very large chip in the Matt Black finish. Not sure how much it will cost to replace a $25 part. Note: We have a sink in the garage so no harsh chemicals have been used.

                    Ordered Black to go with my sink. After paying a plumber to install it, very expensive, not 3 months later, a large piece of the plastic? coating chipped off. I had no idea what I was putting in my sink. A cheap piece of junk that will ultimately cost me another $150 to replace. I do not use anything abrasive to clean my sink, as it is a black granite sink. If I had I feel like I would have known within a couple weeks. Extremely angry about this.

                        Very Disappointed
                        We remodeled our entire kitchen. I incorrectly relied on the insinkerator brand as being of higher quality. The oil-rubbed color was cheaply painted on and began to chip almost immediately. Foir months later: see picture. Just keeps peeling away. The flange is $30 and not easy to replace. And why replace it when it's just going to fail again.

                          Had this installed with our new black sink in March. It’s July and the paint is already peeling.

                                          Changed out my rusty drain and gunked up splash guard. Big difference in appearance. This thing looks great! And note most of the 'one star' bad negative reviews are from people that bought the wrong size splash guard. Not sure how they're reviewing the product when they made the mistake of buying the wrong one. It clearly says one disposals the splash guard works on in the packaging. It does what it's supposed to. It's a sink splash guard. Nothing crazy.
