InSinkEratorAntimicrobial Quiet Collar Sink Baffle QCB-AM Garbage Disposal Splash Guard for EVOLUTION Series, 3.25 inch, 100% AUTHENTIC REPLACEMENT PART

We were surprised how well this fits! Our original cover needed replacement from been sliced up somehow and this is very, very similar to it. This is easy to put into place and has been performing as expected. We don't notice as much liquids splashing back out of the disposal when turned on and it seems as quiet as usual. We are pleased with it so far!

It’s truly amazing that there are any severely negative reviews of this item. It fits perfectly in my Evolution series OEM drain collar, water flows through it unimpeded at maximum faucet flow and it seals 100% when the original drain stopper is inserted. It’s new, so no confirmation of the anti-microbial properties as yet.True, it is less “robust” than the original, but that is likely by design (remember all the complaints about how hard it was to push waste through the previous version!) The quality of the rubber and manufacturing are top rate. I have no doubt that this is an authentic factory replacement.Just one thing to be aware of, it’s a snug fit and easy to think that it’s seated properly when it isn’t. There is a groove at the very bottom of the drain collar, just above the bottom lip, and a slightly raised ridge above the groove (look at the side of the rubber insert and you’ll see what you’re dealing with.) I suspect that many encounter the resistance at the top ridge and think they’ve got it, when they don’t. Pressing down more firmly will expose this situation, when the insert slips down into the groove (its fully seated position.) To accomplish this more confidently (once partially installed to the top of the ridge), push down in just one place along the edge of the insert to get it started and then work your way around until it’s completely down in the bottom groove.My original insert was about 5 years old and in pretty good shape. Recently, an unsuccessful attempt to clear a clogged drain with Liquid Plumber resulted in its being submerged for more than a day in the nasty corrosive mixture until an actual plumber came to fix the problem. Unfortunately, that was the end of the road for the original insert (not so good for the stainless either, I had to scrub away the surface layer to restore its original luster.) Expensive lesson learned, next time I’ll just call a plumber (still expensive, but would’ve been significantly less so.)

Perfect fit and super easy to install. The water flows nice, and it dampens the sound of the garbage disposal. Easy to remove and clean. Overall quality seems great.

During a visit to Home Depot, I searched Amazon for price comparison and found this. First, it is priced 7.00 less than the comparable Insinkerator replacement at HD. Next, I installed the part and it fits like a glove. The rubber is supple and is easy to manage. I am very pleased with this purchase!

Perfect fit! I kept buying the standard ones but they were too big, finally realized to buy the Insinkerator brand and it popped right into place!

This replacement fit perfectly in my Insinkerator. It's not as heavy as the original baffle, so the disposal is a bit louder than before. Not sure how it will wear over time. But it successfully keeps food from splashing up when I run the disposal. The only down side I see is that, because it's thinner/softer than the original, small items such as silverware can slip through more easily than with the stiffer original baffle.

The original cap was dry and brittle. Checked Amazon and WOOHOO, a replacement was available. Happy with the price and quality of the item.

Fits perfectly, works as it should
