Did the silicone tube fix too. Still like, despite reliability record. August 19, 2010
David Ford (Glen Burnie, MD United States)

Had the same leak problem as others due to the disintegrated internal vinyl tube. See review: Designed to Fail, But Can Be Repaired, July 20, 2010
By Phil Shikuka "Philbert" (Terre Haute, IN United States). Replaced the tube with a 1/8" ID silicone tube as Phil described.
My unit has a stainless steel tank and it was marked as manufactured 1/2007 (on the metal tank), and a serial # starting with "07".
I had some email exchange with Insinkerator customer/technical support and was told that the tube material has not been changed, but they indicated that my comments (including the vinyl issue and silicone replacement) would be passed on to product folks. They also worked with me, helping me more than I expected, including waiving the requirement for an "authorized" plumber.
I would recommend to all current and future owners of this model to make the tube replacement even it hasn't failed yet because of water damage to cabinets/floor and because the tube is directly over the electrical components, so is both a shock and fire hazard.
I and my family like the filter/heater/dispenser alot and so consider it worth repairing/replacing as needed. Would give 5* if not for issues with reliability, materials, lack of repair parts, and warranty limits/requirements. All of these could be improved; here's to hoping...
See dispenser reviews for their own relibility issues and owner-contributed repair suggestions.
I plan to send my experience and support exchange to Consumer Reports in hopes that they may track/report the issues and perhaps pressure Insinkerator to improve the products.
 Works great August 12, 2010
F. Proctor (WA State)
I recently did a kitchen remodel and was looking here on Amazon to get a stainless/satin nickel looking dispenser to replace the cream colored one we have. I'm suprised at all the hate towards this product as mine has worked just fine for the past 2 years. The only issue is it randomly dribbles an ounce or so of water out without touching it. This happens maybe once every couple hours. I'm still happy with the product. I've called their customer service before to ask them how to remove the Y connector and the representative immediatly was able to tell me how to do this and sent me a new one just case I messed up the one I had. So no issues with customer service as far as I have been involved with them.
In my humble opinion, most folks will not take the time to post a positive comment and thus what you usually see for reviews are the folks that post negative things. Every manufacturer will get a fluke from the production line. You can put money on the fact that when someone out in the internet community purchases something that performs poorly, they will go out of their way to let others know about their bad experience.
 pretty good poduct August 1, 2010
Serenity (Philly)
I heard so much bad stuff about this product that I was afraid to buy it. I thought the tea kettle would suffice. I missed my instant hot water so much that I went ahead and ordered it. My boyfriend installed it. It gave him some difficulty, but not an awful lot. So far it has been great. I did read that they don't last long and will eventually leak like the metal one did, which is why I bought this tank in the 1st place. I love my instant hot water. It was worth the investment.
 Worked great--until it started leaking July 27, 2010
Douglas S. Benson (Burlingame, CA USA)
Product worked great for a little over a year, until the warranty ran out. Now, after 15 months it has sprung a leak. The warranty is supposed to be 5 years on the "bronze tank"--time will tell whether InSinkErator stands behind the product. I hope that they do, and that they improve the issues that others have reported.
However, between my own experience and that of many other people on the site, I cannot recommend this point-of-use kitchen water heater at all, due to the leak we're now experiencing.
I DO however recommend these things in theory, as having the instant hot water for making coffee, tea or cleaning has been awesome. I want to get this thing fixed or replaced--I love having the feature. Just not the boiling water spilling out underneath my sink.
easy to install July 24, 2010
Dan R. (Rockville, Maryland United States)
It was easy to install, simply replacing the original (which broke) using the same lines. And a year later it's still working fine. Good warranty too. what more could you want?
