Good build quality and a great addition to the kitchen!
The Insinkerator 56 is a great domestic unit and possibly for use in a small commercial kitchen environment, it only has a single stage grinding system so don't put fibrous materials in it (Banana Skins, Celery, etc) as it will cause the waste pipe to block.
We used this to replace a customer’s older Model 55 (15 Years good service) and I have to say it's so much quieter and with the addition of the Air Switch it negates the chance of wet hands coming into contact with the electrical power source.
Because we were replacing an old unit the whole fitting process only took 30 minutes, but if you are installing from scratch and with modifying existing waste pipes then we would allow a couple of hours to be on the safe side. NOTE: On a new installation you will need a qualified electrician to provide you with a power source under the sink.
If this lasts as long as the customer’s previous model it will represent great value for money.
Pros:
Easy to Install
Quite to Operate
Generally a good build quality
Value for Money
Cons:
Only one point here - The quality of the Waste T Pipe isn't as good as the one's on the older models (That's not to say that it’s not usable because it is) but we used the pipe from the customer’s old unit because it just looked better - Job Done!
