Should Have Passed On This One, Waste Of Time! Pure Junk! Didn't even want to finish this and was sorry for the purchase.

I've always been a fairly risky user when it comes to computers and I've had at least my fair share of viruses. I've also had my fair share of antivirus programs. I abandoned all the free stuff a few years ago because it just wasn't effective enough. Nothing against any of them, but you get what you pay for in my opinion. You may not have to pay top dollar, but you're going to have to pay if you want the best protection. My last product was Avast Internet Security. I believe I paid about $50 for protection on 3 computers. I ended up with a ransomware virus on one which Avast could not remove. It also had an online shield that would monitor the information coming into your computer from the internet. The problem with that was it would send the information to your computer in bursts which really screwed up any online game you might be playing. If you were trying to drive a vehicle online the vehicle would move, then freeze while it processed a new batch of information, then move again, then freeze again. It was extremely frustrating. I ended up turning off the real time internet shield which pretty much defeats the whole purpose.

I bought this because a new counter top and under mounted sink reduced the distance between the sink drain and the wall opening for the drain. This disposal gave me an additional inch to work with, and although it barely worked, it DID work. That inch was critical. The good part was that I junked a working disposal that was under powered and over loud. This 3/4 hp disposal is ultra quiet, and will grind anything a rational person would put in it with ease, and very, very quietly. I would have given it 4 stars, but there is really no excuse for not shipping it with a cord already attached. The vast majority of people have that kind of connection. The cost of a Chinese (that's where the disposal is manufactured) power cord would be pennies. This is an artificial way of pricing the machine that is almost fraudulent, as most people will have to plunk down $12 more to make it operable. Far cheaper disposals have the power cord attached. All my other kitchen appliances came with cords with the exception of the dishwasher, where electric codes sometimes dictate wiring via a nonmetallic cable, or armored cable, came with cords!
