Our old disposal was a 20 year old (approx) similar Kitchenaid batch mode model.It worked well and there is no switch on the wall so we had to replace it with another batch mode mode with a magnetic switch in the stopper. The new one is:- Powerful and very quiet; I can barely hear it running over the sound of the water from the faucet.-Installation was easy in my sink. The instructions indicate that you need to order a special part if you have an exceptionally thick sink where the drain is.- Batch mode style (switch is in the stopper) is very safe and convenient. You can't drop anything in it while it is running and you don't touch a switch on the wall with your wet hands to turn it on.- The stopper design is clever, put it in one way and it plugs the sink. Flip it over and it allows water in and turns on the disposal when you rotate it. But the stopper side had a cavity which fills up with water and if you pull it out quickly you may splash the water on yourself. The switch side has slots for the water to pass through which get clogged up by food debris and are noteasy to rinse out. But it does look like a better design than the old magnetic one that was was nicer to use but rusted out after about 5 years and was $60 to replace.- The cavity is small; about 2/3 the size of the older model so each batch that you grind must not be too big. - The casing is a snapped on plastic cover; [...]The base of the unit is very thin sheet metal so the romex clamp for the cord threads skipped over the sheet metal when I tightened it down.Overall it is very nice to use, and it should be for the price of this high end unit, and Abt's price was the best I could find anywhere.I was a bit dissapointed in Kitchenaid's stopper design and while the interior workings and motor work well and seem well built, I expected a tougher enclosure for a unit at this price.

Most Liked Negative Review

Disappointed

This was the 3rd Kitchen Aid batch feed disposer we've owned, but the most disappointing. While easy to install, the new latch employs a magnetic on/off switch. The handle traps food, which must be removed regularly, a nuisance, and is difficult to insert and remove. Not good engineering. The rubber splash guard prevents food from dropping into the bin, so we removed it. Grinding is good and reasonably quiet.

Disappointment

By no nickname

from park ridge. IL

Comments about KitchenAid Batch Feed Garbage Disposal:

I had a kitchen aid disposal for 35 years. But I didn't care for the new unit at all. The stopper was awkward and difficult to use to get the unit going.

Also, it was installed in such a way that the electric tubing negated half the space under my sink. This wasn't even visible on the old unit.

Comments about KitchenAid Batch Feed Garbage Disposal:

Purchased to replace an older model Kitchenaid food disposer. This until is much quieter and does the job but the sink clogs up much more frequently with normal use. Disposer handles the job well so I just have to use it more often than the older model.

Quietest disposal; slower than old model

By Andrzej

Pros

Quiet

Cons

Slower than older models

Best Uses

Comments about KitchenAid Batch Feed Garbage Disposal:

This is the quietest disposal I have ever seen. With water running, one can barely hear the disposal. Performance is not as good as my previous Kitchenaid that recently died - has smaller batch capacity, takes longer to grind, the stopper tends to accumulate debris.

Service and delivery comments:

Perfect transaction with Abt - fast shipment, well packaged. Pre-sale questions promptly answered by easy to reach customer service. Will definitely recommend Abt to friends.
