Sink Top Air Switch Kit Garbage Disposal Part by CLEESINK (SHORT/2.5", Brushed Gold)

Worked great. Super easy install.

You can't beat the price! You'll pay more than double at a Lowes or Home Depot. Does the job and the customizable colors are nice as well.

I rarely write reviews. So let this serve as an indicator that I am impressed.I was hesitant on this switch. Some of that is because I think such things are often just a gimmick, or a "nice to have" that actually makes us lazier. Perhaps it could said that it has made me lazier, actually though... I think I use my disposal MORE often now. I was lazier before I got this because reaching up to turn on the toggle switch on the wall was just a bother right? ( Yeah I'm that lazy at times. )Anyhow, this thing is "air-gapped". And it's great. This means there is zero interaction between electricity, water, and your hand.When you depress the button to turn it on, you can feel the air pocket as if your squeezing a barely inflated balloon. This sensation is very different than what I am used to, so it makes me skeptical about whether or will actually turn the power off. But it does, every time. It just took some getting used to.And I did get used to it. I love pushing the little silver button, letting it run, and then pushing it again to stop. It's not a momentary on switch. It's a toggle style switch.The installation was insanely easy, it was only exasperated by the fact that it was under the sink -- all under sink work is harder of course because of various factors. I don't count that against this device of course. It's necessary.I am very mechanically inclined, have all the tools type of thing. And I say this with the complete newb DIY person in mind. You can definitely install it.Now I already had a spare hole in my sink basin from a previously installed soap pump that we no longer use. So I didn't have to drill another hole. Keep that in mind, you will need to drill one out if you don't already have one. A drill, drill bit, and a large enough stepper bit will be required. But that too is VERY easy. If you have a metallic basin that is.If you have stone or something else, you're on your own. That is slightly more difficult, but still not too bad with diamond hole saws and burrs.As for looks, looks professional.And this is my greatest appreciation of the button above all, and also another reason I was hesitant. I was concerned that like might accidentally activate the switch, or it might get brushed/hit and turned on.I have pet parrots, and they like to play on the sink. I was thinking if they stepped on it, it dropped a toy on it, it may activate.After using it, I can't really see how that would happen. You have to depress the switch about an inch, to an inch and a quarter past the bezel in order to activate it. The further you press it, the harder it gets (it's an air activated switch remember). It feels very natural and satisfying. And the button press has to be intentional.You plug the switch into your existing outlet, and then plug the disposal into the new box - like an outlet expander or extension cord. That box then only turns on when you activate the switch.So in practice, you will leave your old disposal switch "on" all the time. When you want the disposal to come on, you press the switch, then press it again to toggle it off. It's simple and clever.The switch is connected to the toggle device by an air hose. You can sort of adjust the switch functionality dependent upon how long the hose is, and how many turns/loops you leave in it.For me, I just made a mostly straight run from the switch to the box, no loops, I left a little extra length in case it is needed in the future.Take the robe to think about how you will route the air hose connection, the instructions say you want to keep it straight for it to function properly. I advise doing that. But giving yourself a little extra hose so it doesn't bind it kink (like a water hose) is probably a good idea.Buy it, you won't regret it.

Took 5 minutes to install very simple I would recommend this home Depot had the same thing for $109 and same item and it was cheaper on Amazon so I bought it and very happy with it I would recommend this product

The product is exceptionally well-crafted and performs on par with comparable items found in major retail stores—at a fraction of the cost.

Our sink is on land so they put switch under the sink, was so inconvenient to use especially with wet hands, this button is genius. Cored hole, installed and plugged in!!!! Works like a charm

I see these in the big box stores for 2x the price. I've only had it installed a month or 2 now, but do not see any longevity issues with it, or at least the potential unless you're one of those people who had the power company run an extra power line into your house to accommodate your 20HP sink mounted body grinder.The cord and vacuum hose length were more than adequate for my 33" cabinet and was able to mount it up high and out of the way in any event of water leaking or accidentally hitting it. Just plug it in, mount it, cut the vacuum line to length and tighten the collar down around it to secure it (I hand tightened this only and no issues, as it's plastic probably wouldn't recommend involving tools in that)My only complaint would be the vacuum button itself. While it looks OK, it is all plastic, I was kind of expecting a metal trim ring and button, so I probably just let myself down this. I have the brushed nickel/stainless finish and it matches my Delta Spotshield Stainless quite well actually. Also, I had the hole drilled into my new granite counter, the button could use to be in a slightly smaller than standard hole or come with a slightly larger gasket so it seals against the counter nicely. If you have a soap dispenser or similar you don't use, this will fit it. I overcame getting a better seal by frustrating the guy at the hardware store until he walked away then I was free to rummage through all the parts bins. A thin O-ring was the best I could do after opening and closing more of those little plastic bins, but coupling that with the provided gasket has given me no issues with the seal. I wish I would've recorded the exact size to post, but then again, that would deprive anyone needing the same of the thrill of that treasure hunt.Overall is well worth it and a nice little low priced gadget to have. No more hoping that switch isn't going to give you a nice joy buzzer shock one day. I still left mine wired just as a safety, but if you know you're going to be using the disposal, just hit the switch and go about your business, you can hit that button whenever you need without worrying if today is the day they find you dead on the floor with the sink running and dishpan hands. BTW - the switch is a toggle - one push on, one off, you don't have to hold it down and you have to push it far enough so there's no way of accidentally turning it on that I can see.

Used this device to fill in the countertop hole where the faucet sprayer had been. It fits the hole perfectly. We are happy with the way it works. The button switches on/off the disposal with only a gentle push. It’s been installed just over a month. So far so good. No problems.
