Thank you for the review. I was about to buy one of these.. I'll look into teka one...

Still working great after 2 plus years but I would spend a little more to get the manual spin option.

Model 058 is made the same way. Thanks for the honest video; worst garbage disposal ever!

[@goodtimes1828]

Thanks for watching!

I've always used a wood dowel from the top, always had success.

[@goodtimes1828]

Glad that worked for you. thanks

Mine has the same problem, did you have to take it apart after all?

[@goodtimes1828]

No, I just used a very large standard screw driver to pry off the drain ring walls. It spun and cleared whatever was stopping it. Works great again.

Did you get it fixed? Spin it from the top what a screw driver? This unit is nice because the blade is made of stainless steel. My current Badger 5 (1/2 HP) unit never got stuck but just showered water under the sink due to massive rusting everywhere.

[@goodtimes1828]

Yes, I got it unstuck with a big screw driver and prying it off the drain wall and tapping it with a hammer to get it to spin a little. Then it works again
