I bought a new home that was built in 1999 and since then I've had two Insinkerator products fail in a way I would never expect and was wondering if others have seen this About a year and a half ago I has a septic tank compatible garbage disposal rot through the metal case that the grinding blade pushes food against. This was some of aluminum type metal that simply corroded. When I called and complained and was told that it was out of warranty I refused that reply insisting a unit that cost $200 shouldn't rot in 5 years whereupon they sold me a discounted unit
Then two weeks ago my wife wanted hot water and I connected water to a HOT-1 when it took a long time to deliver water I noticed that it was leaking which wasn't easy to spot because it was way back on a granite countertop)when I removed and inspected it I found that the copper tank had rotted through in 3 to 4 places where the edges are soldered together. I again called Insiinkerator complaining about quality and was told that the unit was 5 years old and out of warranty . when I pressed them they admitted that the expected life of these hot water dispensers was 5 years. So my question is an I that naive to expect these things to last 10 or more years before they Rot out? I open to recommendation for a dispencer that will last more than 5 years I can post pics of teh dispenser if requested BOb
