    There are several videos on RUclips explaining how to install a garbage disposal. Once I found this video, I deleted all the others because you are so thorough and show all parts of the process from electrical to replacing the sink connector. It's the only video that explains it all and I needed that. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this very instructional video for us.

    Thank you for sharing your video, I am a single mother and after watching the video, I had confidence to try to attempt this project on my own. I followed your steps as I watched and pausing as I worked on mine. I wouldn't have attempt it on my own if you hadn't done this video. I did it, I'm so happy. Thank you, thank you.

    Thank you for putting such an excellent video on RUclips! Your video was perfect for replacing a garbage disposal!! I am in my 60's and I replaced my garbage disposal today without any problems thanks to your great video!! If you would have asked me a few years ago if I could do something like that, I would have looked at you like something was wrong with you!! But with people like you that put such excellent videos out there for people to watch, I am learning how to do almost all repairs for myself!!

    This is a terrific video for so many reasons: 1 he’s a plumber, so he knows what he’s talking about, he shows you over and over again so that you don’t miss any details, the lighting is great, and the camera angles are up close and clear. This video has given me confidence to try it myself. AND I subscribed.

Seriously though, this is THE VIDEO TO WATCH if you are attempting to replace your disposal for the first time. He walks you through each step and most important of all, you're never left wondering if he knows what he's talking about. Its very apparent he does this for a living and he does it very well!

Thank you for patiently explaining all the tips in detail with such close up video and I was surprised at one point you were redoing the step again to explain or show the video with close up shots to explain it with more clarity. Thank you so much for your time and patiently explaining all the steps and this helped me replacing my dead garbage disposal unit with a new one. Nice to see your little one helping you complete the video at the beginning and end and he is cute :)

    Thank you so much. My folks are 90 and I noticed a puddle under their sink. The GDisposal was leaking like a shower head. I pulled it out, went to Lowes, purchased a 1 horse powered sinkerator badger quiet model, and put it in in-less than 1 hour all thanks to you. I was a handy man in my later years and put a few in but it’s been 10 years or so. Your lesson was superb. Keep them going and thanks again.

    Thanks for a great DIY video! I'm in the middle of installing an Insinkerator 1/2H Badger 500. The disposal was so rusted it finally froze up. It was starting to split the motor casing from the expanding rust. I had a difficult time trying to remove the split ring from the sink and rest of the pieces. Wound up using a sawzall. Once I cut the split ring, the rest of the pieces fell off in my hand. Sheeesh, what a pain! finish the rest tomorrow. Thanks again for a clear video. Nice lighting and good camera work.

    I also want to thank you for the informative video and for keeping the video online. Out of 13 videos, yours was by far the most thorough and helpful. I couldn't find any videos that named the metal ring that's on the garbage disposal itself. I think it's called, a "lower mounting ring" and it's the one that you need to tighten with a tool in the dog ears. It came off and I'm not certain how to re-install it or how far down I should put the ring.

There are a couple tricky tips and he showed you exactly how to resolve and included some troubleshooting. Everything was just exactly enough to do the job right. He did not show in detail how to reconfigure the PVC drain pipes (he has another video he referenced) but even there he told me enough to figure it out anyway. Great job!!!!

Whoever installed my previous one didn't have the disposal bolted down correctly so when I was trying to get it out. The whole assembly would turn. Just needed a clear sanity check to make sure I wasn't the problem. Definitely gave me some piece of mind putting the electrical back in to see you do it first.
