Costco American Standard Slim Line 1.25HP Garbage Disposal

[@jordankendall86]

I had the same garbage disposal that you replaced. I am also replacing with the same garbage disposal. Awesome! Thanks!

[@askdad]

You will love the difference! Welcome

[@usa2121]

Just put mine in today. Did Have to install reptical though. (easy peasy) I told my kids to bring over any yard limbs they needed ground up! I love it! I went from 1/2 HP to 1 1/4 HP. Lights dim and house shakes when I fire her up! The rim magnet a great feature Highly reccomend.

[@Prietosky]

Thanks. I installed it without checking this video. The was a leak on the discharge ( I used the old one). I fixed it following the 3 seconds this video shows how and now is working great. Thanks.

[@askdad]

Glad it helped

[@The-Merchandise]

Thank you for taking the time to make video and share your experience. I have same situation as you did with leak from rusting with old disposal and bought same replacement at Costco to install. I need to tackle the job but am confident after watching your video.

[@askdad]

Glad it helped

@@askdad sadly I did get to it. Troubleshooting a hot tub and fixing a pool filter this weekend:

Just by luck, I recently found my self in a local Costco to pick up some groceries. Ran across this exact same disposal unit (in red, too!) and as luck would have it, it was the last day it was to be on sale; normally $99, it was purchased for $75. My 15+ year old InSinkErator Badger 5 was in need of replacement. Lady Luck must have been on my side. Although a garbage disposal was not on my list of things to buy at Costco that day, it happened to catch my eye as I walked down the isle. A 3-bolt type mount made it very easy to just swap out the Badger (like you did). In my case though, neither the existing sink flange nor the one that came with the American Standard disposal was long enough to allow for installation for the 'Silver Guard' magnetic protector that comes with the AS Slim Line. My porcelain sink was too thick and didn't allow for enough space on the sink flange to wrap the Silver Guard around... no biggie! Was considering buying an extended garbage disposal flange but didn't want to spend at least $20 for just that piece, naah. Went at least 15 years with the InSinkErator without metal pieces tearing it up. I'm thinking this one's going to do just fine. More power, slimmer, quieter and in a Ferrari like red color as well. Can't go wrong with that!

[@Nojistic]

Darn I don’t see it on sale online anymore and doubt it is in store. When did you purchase it? Think Costco will honor sale price?

[@askdad]

I think it was on sale week ago. Costco do price adjustment within 30 days.

[@chrisfromca]

Thank you, sir! Excellent video, and exactly what I needed to help with installation.

[@askdad]

You are welcome!

[@efficiencygeek]

Thanks for the video. Helped me install this exact unit from Costco, and save time, with less stress 🙂

[@askdad]

Welcome, I am glad it helped

[@scottsheck]

Thank you for making this video. I have the exact same leak and situation and also want to use the new slim line disposal from Costco. It was good to see how the outlet pipe connects and that I don’t have to buy an extender

[@askdad]

Glad it was helpful!

[@scottsheck]

I was also interested in the video to see if the old disposal was rusted on the inside.

[@askdad]

@@scottsheck I did not get any message before so I trashed it. I bet it was rusted .

[@Farkhodify]

I just got one from Costco, for $99 but I saw it right before I purchased different brand from Home Depot for $132. I returned the previous one and am ready to replace my new Food Dispenser. It was very helpful. Spasibo bratan! 👍

[@bayerdv82]

When you turn the disposal on, does it twist just slightly due to the increased power and torque?

[@askdad]

Not really, may be you need to check if it's seat correctly

[@SnookProductions]

Very helpful! Thank you

[@askdad]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hootanm9090]

Great review. Thank you!

[@askdad]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cliffcox7643]

Thanks for the install vid, but how is the performance and quality?

[@askdad]

so far so good! since the time I installed was very pleased. I wish I did it while ago before it broke down as its not as noisy and do better job

[@JamesLaMar-j7y]

did explain how to fit disposal to sink. It appeared that he used the old disposal clamp on the new American Standard Disposal.

[@tertiary7]

just installed the same one .. couldn't pass up the sexy look. so far so good

[@askdad]

haha, I think you right about the look.. and works much better than old one

[@yt0x014]

Does this modal have a reset button?

[@deponzi]

Thank You very helpful

[@askdad]

You're welcome!

[@jpcheco]

It is on sale for $75. Second part of November 2022.

[@askdad]

Great deal! 👍

[@angelnegro281]

Where at?

[@j_rainsgoat3929]

Where did you find it for 75$ $90 is the cheapest I could find online.

[@jpcheco]

It was on sale at Costco. Not any more, though.

[@CS-eb8sm]

In sale for $69 currently at Costco

[@armyguru1214]

Did you end up taking it apart? Mine is also leaking from internal and out the bottom...

[@askdad]

No, I didn't get any requests so it somewhere in garage waiting. Anyway, I am happy that I replaced with better what I had before.. still no complaints

[@ricardodavila164]

Where is the turn on switch on the asd-125-sl

[@PhanoftheShow]

trying to figure that out too

[@fuzzresponder2225]

Thank you for sharing! 👍

[@askdad]

Thanks for watching!

[@danielgao2937]

Just got it for $79.99 with $20 off :)

[@ew9518]

I just replaced that 1/3 disposal garbage with this costco red garbage disposal yesterday 😂😂😂

[@andrewriley1053]

What is the purpose of the magnetic belt?

[@DonatoOrlando]

It is supposed to catch the metal objects from getting all the way into the garbage disposal.

[@donnierittenberry5515]

I found an American standard 1/3 hp garbage disposal at Walmart for 64 dollars plus tax kinda surprised me

[@simongingras1896]

I don't get it, you get it to work with a light switch like those models in the 80's?! Where is the sink cap that should make it work properly?... If that's the case, it seems extremely outdated!

[@askdad]

what are you talking about?

[@simongingras1896]

@@askdad do you activate the waste disposal unit with a light switch/button or is it the drain blocker that activates the unit? I’ve seen many weird units that are button or switch activated and no company seems to elaborate on the manner in which the device is activated. My favorite was kitchenAid with a lift and turn activation…

[@askdad]

@simongingras1896 to turn on I have switch on and of on the wall. It has nothing to do with the unit.

[@CoconutPoint-b2m]

Would have been good to see you uninstall your old unit and install the new one rather just show us already installed

[@TheCoffeOrTea]

I bought the same, we’ll see what happens after few years.

[@RamiroLeiva]

Got mine for $80 yesterday was on sale

[@askdad]

Good deal! And works pretty good

[@RamiroLeiva]

@@askdad it works great! I just can't get the wall switch to make it turn off and on. It only turns on and off when I plug it in and out

[@RamiroLeiva]

I figured it out. I had it plugged in to the dishwasher outlet smh

[@Beckybirt]

My water backs up 😳. Help

[@askdad]

Did you knock out the plug before installing? There is plastic should be removed

[@who1969]

Practice your presentation at least 50 times to perfect your speaking

[@SesameBuns]

Perfect to me, no need to practice 50 times, did you have a difficult time hearing? Maybe it's time for you to upgrade that old speaker.

[@MrJess1497]

@@SesameBuns agree with you! People are just rude!

​@@hadassaanouman8462 hard agree haha. Also, not sure if you're a Rick and Morty fan but I always think of that episode where Rick says "all species with less than 6 limbs are considered handicapped here", I feel like the same goes with language and over in Europe. *American here trying to learn my 2nd/3rd languages*

[@scottsheck]

I easily understood

[@exnihilo3090]

You literally showed ZERO installation.. zero.

[@askdad]

It's not an installation video .

[@sofianeffendi1780]

Yup we got the wrong video to watch, nothing i can learn here .
