Review: Great switch, little bit of a learning curve. - This was the perfect solution when I decided to add a garbage disposal after my kitchen was completed. I have a granite countertop and did not want to attempt to drill through that. The way the house is designed going up through the wall for a wall switch would have been a pain. And I really didn't like the idea of cutting a hole in my brand new stainless steel sink to put an air switch. This was the best and only solution. What's really nice is it only runs The garbage disposal when you're holding the switch on. you can't leave the garbage disposal running and forget about it or have stuff drop in and damage it because as soon as you move your foot the power comes off. It does take some getting used to. The person that uses the garbage disposal the most will usually be the only one who really knows how to use it. It's kind of an odd motion. You have to slide your foot slightly to the right to release the latch and then up. it's a weird motion for your foot to get used to but once you have it it's no problem at all. When installing it make sure you install it near where your foot rests normally when you're standing in front of the sink. if you have to reach over in one direction or the other it'll be difficult to release the lock and get the switch engaged. Other than a little bit of a learning curve this is a fantastic solution that keeps everything nice and neat. you can barely see the toe kick switch under the cabinet and I didn't have to do any extensive work to install a switch for the garbage disposal. since the house had never had a garbage disposal there was no switch or outlet near the sink that I could have used so I would have had to do a full install of a switch to have a wall switch. Once you learn how to use it it's the coolest little switch in the world. You just have to take a little time and understand there is a little bit of a learning curve as your foot develops muscle memory. It's also fun to watch family come visit and try and turn the garbage disposal on. Who wouldn't pay a little extra for that kind of entertainment?
Review: It works but tricky. - Looks very good Apparently is very easy to operate, but When you really installed it and and try to operate IT little tricky , you must push all the way and up in order to operate it. The picture with lady in RED SHEWS is really deceiving or just for SHOWING ! So far best way to operate is bear foot. Hope will last LITTLE PRICEE, TRY IT. Bj

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this an on/off switch or a momentary on switch?**
A: It is a momentary on/off switch controlled by your toe, but it can be turned off by the wall switch to your garbage disposal.

**Q: The dimensions given are 10.5 x 4.5 x 3.5 inches. That doesn't look right when looking at the photos. The toe kick space under my cabinets is about 1"**
A: That might be the dimensions of the box not the switch. It's hard for me to measure my own switch while it's installed but it's about 8" long by 4" high and 2+" thick. The thickness or depth of the switch was the most limiting aspect for me because my cabinet toe kick area isn't standard. You need about 2" (maybe a bit more) in the channel above the toe kick area measured from the back of the toe kick wall to the back of the cabinet face (where the switch would slide up into the channel). My cabinet's channel width was only 1.75". The channel height on my cabinet is about 7/8" so it's less than the 1" you measured on your's. You should be fine if you have enough depth in the channel to slide the switch up and in. The height should not be a problem for you. In my case, the depth was too large and would not have fit without a modification to the casing of the switch (which worked in my case but it was very to not working out for me). So far it's been great!

**Q: Do you have to hold the button down to run the disposal? Or wil it stsy on with one push of the button and turn off with the second push?**
A: Mike,
The switch activates the disposal with constant upward foot pressure on it.  When you release the pressure the disposal turns off.  It gives the user better control by not having to reach twice to operate the switch to both turn it on and off.  
Mark

**Q: My garbage disposal is hard wired. can i change out my gd power cord?**
A: Yes, just hire an electrician to disconnect the disposal "hard wires" and wire up a replacement plug. OR, go to a hardware store and buy a repair plug, shut off the power and do it yourself. Pretty easy job if you're comfortable with any level of DIY.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ We installed 2 of these, and they both get stuck in the ON position - Please see updated review
*by C***H on June 29, 2018*

Awesome idea, but in the past 3 weeks we've been using them, BOTH of these switches have stuck IN THE ON POSITION a few times. Will fiddle with them a bit, but if this isn't fixable, it's a FATAL flaw somewhere in the design and will be returning them and downgrading the review as appropriate. Love it when it works, but just CAN'T have this type of switch getting stuck - particularly with the really quiet Insinkerator disposals; it's quite literally a safety hazard! Will update as I work through this...... Update 3/28/2019: Wanted to update my review to reflect the outstanding customer service I've received from Mark Muld, the inventor and head of the company. Mark responded personally to my latest review, and quickly sent out new switches. These worked better, with only a couple of issues. As further follow-up, he then proactively sent yet ANOTHER set of switches with upgraded micro switches, as these were believed to be the issue. We had a few intermittent problems with one of the switches, but haven't had time to report this to the company. Fast forward to today, just received yet ANOTHER set from Mark (again proactively following up), as he had found that some of the latest switches were not manufactured correctly. SO, while a few issues still may exist, the personal follow up by Mark and his focus on customer service/satisfaction has been outstanding! As an engineer, I know how difficult debugging design and manufacturing issues can be, but continue to be impressed by his dedication to getting this right. The toe switch solution, even with some issues is still SO much better than the old wet, messy hands on the switch installations. Am updating my review to three stars based on terrific customer service. Hoping this last set will do the trick. Update 5/4/2019 Wanted to update my review again to reflect our ongoing experience with the switches (we have 2; one for each disposal in our huge island). Read my prior update to get up to speed on the latest version of the switch. So far, the newest switches that Mark sent are working flawlessly. No sticking, no issues while being used heavily for the past month, so have upgraded my review to 4 stars. Will continue to use them for the next few months and report back with any issues. For now, we're pretty happy campers!
