lots of torque, breaks through everything

Kitchen Aid 250G
Disposer arrived on-time from online vendor. Agree with earlier reviewer that it should be shipped in an appropriate carton--not the retail shelf box even though there was no damage. Took me about 2 hours to install replacing a previous Badger 5 that was about 15 to 20 years old and leaking. Works fine thus far after about 1 month's use. Generally quiet and smooth.

So after only 18 months (and I thought the "Badger" that lasted "only" 4 years was a piece of junk!) I found myself shopping for a new disposal again... But this time I did a little homework before I ordered one!
