Expecting a quieter operation then the replaced GE 1/3hp but not by much. Low quality splash guard, permitted water to splash back, replaced with old splash guard.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello - we're happy to see that you rated this unit perfect on appearance. At the same time, we're sorry to know that the garbage disposer didn't meet your expectations when it comes to sound levels and installation. Please know we will share your thoughts with our product and design teams for future design consideration.
We recommend referring to the installation instructions on pages 7-11 of the owner's manual to make sure that the splash guard is correctly set up to avoid leaks. You can find a copy of the manual here: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-5903-3.pdf
You can also reach out to us on social media if any other questions or concerns come up. Take care.
Though I thought the instructions were clear, my plumber had trouble with the sink flange and found the easy mount was not that that easy to actually mount. The product is much quieter than the decade old Kenmore and makes short work of small scraps. Makes an odd high pitch sound when it is about done, but seems OK.
Installation took less than 45 min, that time includes removing my old disposal, very easy for the DIY person. I have not had an opportunity use it but a couple of days so I am limited to information on how well it works over time, it is quiet.
