I wanted something that could handle limes. I hate it when you make a cocktail and the limes won't go down. So, they referred me to this one. And it works great. Installation flawless and all and all i love it.

Looks great, works great, and is quite quiet.

The KitchenAid KCDI250 disposal is great - powerful, quiet, and well built! Installation was a challenge, partly due to its weight and partly due to my limited DIY capabilities. Had to use my car (scissor) jack to get it positioned and secured correctly. Other than that, installation went smoothly. I would recommend it highly - it is truly a mini-beast of a disposal.

Just installed this Kitchen Aid KCDI250 disposal in just over an hour. It was a snap (especially compared to getting the old one out which someone apparently needed to hard glue to several other pieces?). The product is quiet and powerful. Look forward to its durability as well.

Comments about KitchenAid KitchenAid KCDI250:

Great monster of a disposal...the power is obvious - with the proper care (i.e. letting the water run a bit after shutting it off to remove excess debris in the blades) it should run strong for many years. A bit noisy - but it's not something that has to run for long, so I don't mind. Would rather have the noise than a weaker unit.

It runs very smoothly and quiet.[...] and while I had it installed, it looked very easy had I wanted to do it myself.

I trust the KitchenAid brand and I'm confident that this garbage disposal will serve us for a very long time.

Regular use in the kitchen.

Comments about KitchenAid KitchenAid KCDI250:

Unit installs easily and looks great, too. There is very little noise when operating, yet it is powerful enough to handle any food residue I have yet to shove into it. [...]

I am very happy with my new disposal and would recommend it to anyone. I like the 3/4 HP motor better than the 1/2 I previously had.

Comments about KitchenAid KitchenAid KCDI250:

I can't believe I waited so long to replace my old disposal. This works great, is quiet and so far has had no problem with everything I have put down it. If you have anything less than a 3/4 HP disposal now, I highly recommend upgrading.

Comments about KitchenAid KitchenAid KCDI250:

No pigtail included with product. I used the one off of the original with no problems. Great to be able to order the same brand and model as one that was 18 years old and have it bolt right up. Thanks............B

This product has a 5 year warranty, but my first one lasted 12 years. It's a good product for daily home use with a few limitations on what you can and can't put into it, but still a good product.

enough power to do the job in either batch mode or continuous feed mode

Needs to come with a longer drain outlet pipe.
Found one to work (drain pipe) at local hardware store.
Confusing directions as to where to place fiber washer on sink trap. Use it as a back up ring under the lower rubber gasket.

Comments about KitchenAid KitchenAid KCDI250:

I am using my disposal as a macerator on my fishing vessel....it out performs any Marine macerator I have used to date....can withstand the vigorous use it was meant to endure, when all else fails you can go back to using the Sears and Roebuck catolog again for TP without worry of it clogging...I tested up to 5 paper towels at one time....more than once, and it performed like a hungry lion each time....I was impressed to say the least...I give it a 2 thumbs up! If anyone is familiar with the general septic plumbing situation on a boat, then, they will appreciate what I am talking about.

So far, we are happy with this product. It is replacing the old one, same model, that we had for 17 years! Durable!

Comments about KitchenAid KitchenAid KCDI250:

very easy to install. very quiet.

Comments about KitchenAid KitchenAid KCDI250:

This was a replacement for an existing disposal,same Mfg., that lasted 17 years. Not bad for dependability.

Comments about KitchenAid KitchenAid KCDI250:

We replaced the DOA Insinkerator with this KItchenaid and couldn't be happier. Time will tell if it proves to be durable, but it is quiet, smooth and powerful. Installation was a relative breeze, thanks to the clear instructions and the fact that the quick-lock mount was compatible with the ring from the old ISE. We did have to rework some of the PVC plumbing under the sink, but that had more to do with improper installation of the previous unit than anything else. Nothing that a weekend handyman couldn't handle with readily available materials from the local big box home improvement store.

We were attracted by the stainless steel components, the advertised quiet, the large capacity grind chamber, and the Kitchenaid name (yes, I know that they are made by ISE but as near as I can tell, it is roughtly equivalent to their premium line).

Lots of features at less bucks than comparable units. Installed easily and is quiet and powerful and has yet to clog on anything.

Comments about KitchenAid KitchenAid KCDI250:

Great product. Simple to install. We bought Kitchen Aid quality for less than [...] store brand price. Quiet and Powerful.

Comments about KitchenAid KitchenAid KCDI250:

I bought this to replace an (much) older version of the same unit. the original lasted 15-20 years! this one appears quieter. it only lacks the "Wham Jammer" automatic jam breaker upper; this has a manual one instead. but that was rarely a problem anyway. This is the best.

Comments about KitchenAid KitchenAid KCDI250:

A better choice than the 1/2 HP model for a few extra $. I like the feature that it reverses direction each time you use it. Easy to install. Similar Insinkerator at Home Depot for same $, but no reversal. Both made by same factory, I heard.

Comments about KitchenAid KitchenAid KCDI250:

Don't know that much about what else is available on the market, but I replaced basically the same model KitchenAid garbage disposal that had worked with no problems for 15-20 years. I installed this unit myself; it took some time, but no problem. Excellant price [...] considering what equivalent products cost. Maybe a little noisy compared to competitors that advertise quiet; but it only runs when being used, so noise is not that big of a deal, particularly if you are paying $[...] for an ultra-quite disposal.

Comments about KitchenAid KitchenAid KCDI250:

The KCDI250 was easy to install; it used a rubber sink flange seal rather than the usual putty. It seems slightly quieter than the Insinkerator that it replaced. My problems with that other brand included leaks through the motor shaft seal after 3 or so years in more than one unit; it's too early to tell how the KitchenAid will hold up in that respect.

Comments about KitchenAid KitchenAid KCDI250:

Works great. Chews up whatever I throw at it.

Only slight issue is that it was a little heavy to install by myself.

I'm completely satisfied now that it's in, though.

Comments about KitchenAid KitchenAid KCDI250:

Works quieter when stopper is installed, especially in a Stainless Steel sink. Unless you lift weights, unit weighs 22 lbs. and difficult to install yourself. Fantastic unit!
