    Worked for about 4 months then locked up. Thankfully BestBuy always stands behind their products. Was able to get it swapped out for an upgraded model. New model has yet to skip a beat almost a year later.

    This works well, but the interior part where it attaches to the drain is permanently attached, where in others you can remove in order to clean the "gunk" out better as all disposals have residue that needs cleaned

    I have this disposal sitting in the box to try and return. I have had it installed for less than a year and flat out crapped out on me. I never just dump food down the drain I always scrape my plate and then rinse off. Buy a more powerful one and spend the extra $50 to get a higher quality disposal

      Hi, Bob4133.

      Thank you for your review. Hate to learn about the loud sounds you are experiencing. Other than those sounds during grinding of small bones and fruit pits; typically loud sounds are usually caused by accidental entry of a spoon, bottle cap or other foreign objects. I recommend checking your disposal for any of the above items.

      Should the sound become louder, please give us a call. Our team will be happy to assist you further; we can be reached at 888 203 1389. Our Customer Care Team is available Monday through Friday from 8am-8pm EST. Regards-Derrick Frigidaire

    I’ve had this garbage disposal since June 2019 and it’s already dead. Only lasted 1 year and 5 months. Such an inconvenience and waste. Spare yourself the headache and just get a more reputable garbage disposal brand.

    Do not buy this product! I bought this garbage disposal and it stopped working in 2 years. I wish I could give it a zero rating. I don't even use my disposal that much so it should still be like new. A complete waste of money.

    This garbage disposal was not compatible with my sink. It did not mount like my Waste King. So it was returned and I had to buy a Waste King from Home Depot.

    Defective unit

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased this bc of rave reviews. Plumber put it in and there was a massive water leak from the bottom seal in the unit. Had to rip out half the brand new flooring in our kitchen remodel bc the water seeped under that. We’re hoping our cabinets didn’t soak up much water. One star bc of CS at Best Buy. They said that they can’t take it back bc it’s a biohazard item and it was opened. Well duh, didn’t know it was defective until it was opened. Only water was run through to test it. We can’t get ahold of Frigidaire bc it’s a Saturday. I hope their CS is better. I’m typically an easy going person but this is ridiculous. I hate getting the runaround.

      Uh oh, CaptainSilo! Sorry to hear you are having trouble. This could also be a sign of something stuck in the unit for which you need assistance to remove. Check the drain hose and installation. If you still need assistance, please call the toll free Help Line at 800-944-9044. ~ Brandi Frigidaire
