Kraus Universal Kitchen Sink Stopper For Garbage Disposals GDC-3

This model of Kraus disposal is quiet as advertised. It's quieter, if you insert the plug/cover into the drain, but that restricts water flow into the disposal. The disposal drain cover comes with a waste pusher, but it only has two flanges, and you have to push the waste down several times. If Kraus designed it as an X flange (4 axes) it would push waste down easier. We also noticed that this 1/2 HP unit has trouble grinding orange or lemon peels, even when cut up into smaller pieces. The unit leaves residue behind in the grinding chamber, and it takes a longish time to grind it down. Perhaps the 3/4 HP unit does better. In our old Insinkerator, grinding citrus peels was not a problem. Overall, it's quiet and easily grinds most waste (although there is always some ground residue left in the grinding chamber). It's the first time we tried a Kraus unit, and would rate it as okay - it gets the job done, but no better than okay. We recommend getting a 3/4 HP unit.

Did not know there were 2 knock out holes so it backed up the dishwasher. Well reading directions works. it is a little noisy as well as the start up sound like a hard electric start. Overall satisfied with the device.

I am very happy with this disposal, it was easy to install, works very well, doesn’t clog and it is quiet as far as disposals go. I would absolutely purchase this item again.

This product is awesome. It runs very quiet and does an excellent job.

Works great and is much more compact than our previous disposal.
