  1. This was generally a well made video, but, it did not finish the job. You had said in the video that you would show how to connect the pipes afterward, but 10 years later, and that never happened. So, now I have to find someone else's video that covers that part.

    Not all dishwasher installations require the knock-out plug to be punched out. Depending on how you finished the plumbing, punching out the dishwasher knock-out plug can cause you a big problem.

    Also, most homeowners that need this video are going to be replacing a previous installation, not new construction. So, information on removing the prior disposal would be helpful.

  2. Installing a garbage disposal for some reason was relatively easy. Installing a faucet however was a royal pain in the ass.

  3. VERY solid video. Great camera work. GREAT directions. One of the most effective how to videos on a subject I have seen. Forgets nothing. Thank you.

  4. Is the entire grind chamber stainless steel? I agree Insinkerator is the best in some sense and they're made in USA, though I have a 1 horsepower Waste King and it is a terrific beast. The Insinkerator 1 HP model I believe is more tame and quiet but also much more expensive.

  5. Darn good video. If you can't install one after this. You need to get a Pro to do it. Good video keep up the good work.

  6. Thank you so much for the posting. My turn tomorrow.

  7. It's all easy until actually attaching to the sink. I can't get the clips to align up to attach. I still have to call a plumber. All videos make it look easy to attach.

  8. Added a disposal but water is backing up from no disposal sink and backing up do both has wa water and drains very slow…sugared drain and seem fine and alittle slope on all pipes? Their is air fitting off top of drain to just below sink….frustrated

  9. 3 year warranty,,that’s about the minimum for garbage disposals 🙄

  10. Very good video explanation my friend👍

  11. Gracias por el tutorial puse uno en mi casa

  12. By the way, it is a great video! Good job! Thank you.

  13. What am I doing wrong? I can’t get that ring in there. I’ve tried & tried. Used a screwdriver like you showed to do in the video but to no avail. I know it’s not easy do but does anyone have a trick to get it in there?

  14. Great video. Knocked it out in no time.

  15. I removed my garbage disposal and the connector in the last part is detached from the unit. How can I get that back on?

  16. Best video out there on this subject!

  17. You are very thorough! Thank you so much for the video instructions!

  18. You can put a car jack under the disposal unit and jack it up into place.

  19. Fantastic where are you locate

  20. Thank you! The last minute helped tremendously!

  21. so you plug it in amd then where is the switch to turn it on?

  22. spinning the old one off is tough,no amount of muscle would free mine! soaked it in WD40 Didnt work,might have to call a plumber!!

  23. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! We have had a bowl under the sink for months to see whether it was time to get a new one. The old one was leaking. Your installation incouraged me so much to do this myself. I am pretty handy but after watching you install it fully, i am sure i can tackle it without too much trouble. I also really appreciated you telling us which one to buy. I will install this this weekend and add or repost how it went. I owe you one!!!

  24. I came to see how you ran the plumbing🙁

  25. Why do they even sell these without a cord already built in?

  26. Your instructions are so clear, I had no problem installing a garbage disposal for the first time by following you step by step. Thank you.

  27. I take it the plug will be turned on and off with a switch?

  28. Would you be so kind as to teach what size wire nuts are necessary, and how you know that? Thank you!

  29. I know you got a lot of thank you’s for this video but here is one more: THANK You ! Very helpful- I was able to install and ready to go

  30. Nice I didn't know which wire went with what wire. Thank you.

  31. Just changed my garbage disposal with your help it was simple THANK YOU VERY MUCH

  32. Excellent video! You set the bar high on detailing a DIY job..Great Job! Much success to you!

  33. I followed the instructions and it made the job easier. Ty

  34. Great video! My disposal was dead, nothing was happening, after going through all the troubleshooting, all I got was a humming noise. Then I disassembled it from under the sink, took to my utility tub and deep cleaned. I found a piece of plastic in it, I believed that that was the problem, but not sure because even after removing it, all I got was still the humming sound and I was glad I didn't put it back in before making sure it was working. I was about to give up and go buy a new one, but then decided to take another look inside, I saw a little piece of food still stuck in there, I didn't think that that was the issue, but I got it out with my needle tool and guess what? It worked! This video was great to help me put it back on. My major problem was the weight of the disposal, I had to use several things from around the house to give me leverage but I'm really happy that I've saved money from having to hire a plumber and from having to buy a new one. I'm pretty sure that if I had hired a plummer I'd have to buy a new one as plumber's don't usually have the patience to troubleshoot the problem.
