After 3.5 years it stopped working due some electrical problem, which is too short for comfort. Prior to that it always operated just fine and never leaked.  We called the service number and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~485844946564 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 14:30:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_485844946564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_480295947908?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author gwillodson - I'm sure my 444 is less than 4 years old, but the receipt is long gone. The motor is corroded, and just hums now. I was lucky to have a plastic container underneath the disposal, so the leak didn't ruin my floor or cabinets, as many others... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~480295947908 Thu, 6 Aug 2009 20:21:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_480295947908?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_445892497028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author djgohnert - I purchased the In Sink Erator 444-5 approx. 2 1/2 years ago and already the unit has failed. I have my own construction company so I have seen many garbage disposals. The unit is as easy as any others to install. I turn the unit on and it just hums.

I bought it 4 and a half years ago and of course it has a 4 year warranty. I think it is obvious that they made a bunch of lemons from all of the reviews I have seen and the forums filled with people like me with broken 444s.

It's fairly quiet and effectively grinds food to small bits. Unfortunately, after two years it began to leak.

Mine somehow leaked into the motor chamber then died after light use after about four years, if that. When it died the rotor still turned but all the motor could do is hum.
