 Just as promised... September 5, 2008

Device arrived promptly and in good order. It would make some sense in the description of future products of this venue to make sure that the purchaser is aware that the storage tank is NOT included.
 These things keep failing August 30, 2008
R. Lewis (Washington, DC, USA)
Had two of these things in an apartment. First one failed within a year and they replaced it. Figured it was an anomaly. Bought house several years ago. Drilled hole in granite to accomodate the Insinkerator. The THIRD one in this house has now failed, each time causing an undersink flood. This time it is out of warranty. I'm not going to risk another flood and I don't want an ugly hole in the counter so the damn thing is now used as a drying rack for dish rags.
How hard can it be to make an appliance that heats water and doesn't leak? The water heater in the basement has lasted a quarter century. Good thing these people don't make airplanes.
Water from it always tasted terrible anyway- the heat, chlorine, and steel make a nasty machine-oil-smelling brew.
Save your money. Kettle, stove, water faucet- much cheaper & better.
 This model is fine with granite countertops April 18, 2008

Some InSinkErator models do not fit granite countertops, but I checked the specs (3" max counter thickness), talked to my kitchen contractor and the countertop company, and ordered this model in spite of the warnings in the reviews. It installed quickly and easily with my granite countertops and undermount sink. Just stick with the 1100.
Insinkerator won't install January 1, 2008

Similar to another poster. If you have a nice kitchen with granite or marble countertop, chances are it's 1 inch thick. Then forget about buying Insinkerator. The threaded tubing for the nicer hot-cold models, as well as screw length for the cheapo default dispenser, is too short to install. It's meant for shallow depth counters.
Amazingly, Insinkerator doesn't mention this in their manuals nor on their website. I've cobbled a fix for one installation, but this was a problem for 4 out of 4 installs I've done. Just avoid Insinkerator and avoid the hassle.
Granite Counter Tops Beware November 30, 2007

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.
