Garbage Disposal Splash Guard Collar Sink Baffle, Food Waste Disposer Accessories for Wasting King, Whirlaway and GE Models (3 1/8 Inch in Diameter) by CLEESINK

Let’s keep this simple, something the ad for this product has trouble doing. This is a replacement splash guard for an in-sink garbage disposer. There are two reasons you would buy it – as a replacement for an identical one that comes standard on certain brands of disposers if that one somehow got damage, or to convert the type of guard many other brands use, a type often called a starburst.PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONMy new disposer brand is Frigidaire, a name not often associated with garbage disposers. That’s not their main business and the unit itself is actually made by Electrolux. It, like most disposers sold these days, is the type that that has a rubber flapper just inside the drain hole that is meant let garbage fall into the grinding section and let water flow freely whether the motor is running or not. Unfortunately for all of its niceties the fatal flaw on this model is that the flapper is what they call a starburst, it is an essentially flat piece of rubber with a tiny hole in and six slightly larger holes around it with a slit cut between them. Most people don’t like this design because even without trash in it the water backs up because it can’t drain fast enough and with trash you have to mash into the drain with a fork or spoon but hopefully not your finger.THE SOLUTIONThis design, while not unique to the product I am reviewing, goes about it a little differently. First off the center hole is larger so water can drain more naturally. Second, other than the center hole the rest of the piece is solid rubber, but very flexible, and molded in such way that there are five triangular slides that let waste immediately flow into the drain without backing up.YES OR NOAt only about six bucks this splash guard needs zero installation skills, it just pops into place in about 10 seconds and fits just as snugly and securely as the original. Once you use it you will never see yourself going back to the starburst design. There are a lot of companies selling guards that look like this but they may not be as flexible, or maybe they are better, I can’t try them all. I can say that this one works and I am very happy with it and believe it earns a full five stars.

The underside of the splash guard on our disposal had gotten so gross and slimy, it was beyond any cleaning, soaking, scrubbing, or any other method I could think of I got this replacement today, pulled the one one up and out, then slid the new one in to place. Looks and smells so much nicer! I also haven't had any noticeable issues with the water draining properly. So happy with this new, clean splash guard!

Make sure you measure from the outside not the inside of the hole I purchase the wrong size first this fits perfect and seems to be very high quality

Overall a good product and it's nice and rigid. The opening is a bit small though so water does back up. I have to cut these some to allow water to flow freely.

This works perfectly! It is a better design than my last one that is more of a star shape because silverware doesn't fall down into the disposal anymore. I haven't had any issues with water backing up like some other reviewers mentioned.

fits perfectly with my InSinkErator. Just insure what size you need. I first got the 3.00 inch and had to send back for the 3 3/8 width.

This item arrived in good condition and fit my drain perfectly. Unfortunately, I will be returning though. It creates some type of air lock that prevents water from going down my drain. My sick just fills and fills. It even takes a while with the garbage disposal running to drain it. Wish it worked better.

This product seems to be made well, and the disposal sounds quieter.
