Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator 444; 3/4 Horsepower Food Waste DisposerCustomer Review: Failed due to corrosion, replacing with different model Summary: 1 StarsLike others have noted here, my 444 started to leak on account of corrosion of the unit's housing. Mine was about 10yrs old and was used VERY infrequently (perhaps twice a month). I plan to replace it myself and I wanted to buy an identical unit to make the job easy, but on account of the other reviews I decided it would be unwise to purchase the same unit again. I investigated other options. The Insinkerator Evolution Compact Disposer has, based on the mfr spec sheets, almost the same dimensions as the 444 (not EXACTLY the same, but very similar); it is the most dimensionally similar of any upper-tier Insinkerator disposer in current production. Notably, it appears to employ the same cam-lock mounting method for attaching it to the sink, so swapping it in should be a no-brainer. The wastewater discharge is located the same vertical distance beneath the sink on both units, i.e., 6"; however, the 444's discharge is 5" offset from the vertical and the Compact's is offset 5.75" (this information comes from the mfrs datasheets). Therefore, I expect that I can re-use the same wastewater trap and connect it to the original plumbing with just a little "fiddling". The electrical access is in the same location on both, so wiring it should be simple too. So, with these things in mind, I would encourage others to consider the same option.
