(More customer reviews)Warning! If you have granite counter tops, you may be in for a hassle. I bought an Insinkerator Model H-ViewSN-SS at Lowes ($279) to replace my second entry level Insinkerator unit. The Entry level units installed easily, but wore out quickly, so I decided to upgrade. If another brand -had been easily available locally, I probably would have bought another brand given the short lives of my first 2 units.
Anyway, when I went to install the new unit, the threaded tubing that is used to hold the unit in place was too short to extend below my granite. I went back to Lowes, and then to Home Depot, looking for a fix. Unfortunately, the threading on this tube is not standard. Finally, someone at HD told me that to use this with granite I must call the company and get an extension. They do not carry this part, but everyone with granite has this problem! I called the company the next day and they wanted to charge me for this piece. When I said "forget it, I'm taking this POS back", she "Spoke with her manager" and decided to send the piece free of charge -- "to arrive in 7 to 10 business days".
About 10 days later the tube arrived, and I went to install the unit, only to find that with the extension the unit would not snug up to the bottom of the counter. I had to run to my shop and make a washer out of a piece of 3/8" plywood.
Bottom line. If this cheapo company had spent 50 cents extra to make the threaded tube 1 " longer I probably could have installed this in 20 min. Instead, it's 2 weeks later and I have finally learned my lesson about this company's products. If it lasts as long as the last 2 units, I'll be looking for another brand of hot water dispenser in about 1 yr.
If you have Granite Counter Tops and plan to buy an Insinkerator unit. go to their web site and check that the tubing used to attach the unit is long enough for your counter tops. Better yet, buy another brand and save yourself some headaches.
