Simple installation, good fit, good power, but, OMG, when it turns
on, it sounds like you're standing on the runway when a Boeing 787 is taking off!!! It is +80dB, measured on my cell phone Sound Meter App. The rubber insert limits the amount of water going down the drain, but, it is a good thing, because it 'slightly' reduces the amount of noise coming from the drain. All I can say...
IF it wasn't so loud, I would give it 5 stars, and recommend it to everyone, because it is well built, easy to install, high quality materials, and churns banana peels and steak leftovers with no sweat expended!!
