SilverSaver Kitchen Sink Stopper for INSINKERATOR Garbage Disposal, STP-DS, Stainless Steel

We recently had to replace our garbage disposal after our old Badger 5 1/2 stopped working. A plastic measuring spoon accidentally fell in and got stuck. While trying to remove it, we ended up breaking the spoon inside the unit. So we upgraded to the Evolution 45SS. With a busy household and kids in the kitchen, it is realistic to assume that utensils or small items will fall into the disposal again. I have dropped metal cutlery before, so this time I wanted an extra layer of protection. That is why I purchased the InSinkErator SilverSaver stopper. It fits perfectly in our disposal and does exactly what it is supposed to do. It helps prevent larger items from accidentally going down while still allowing water to drain. …. The water does take a little longer to go down compared to having the opening fully clear, but that is a reasonable tradeoff for avoiding another disposal issue. I also tend to use very hot water when cleaning pots and pans, so I am hoping the stainless steel holds up well over time despite frequent temperature changes. So far, it feels solid and works well, and I am optimistic it will last. I bought this at an Amazon discounted price as an open box product. As you can see in the video, there were some tapes on the packaging, but the product itself was in great condition. Saving some money while getting exactly the same product was a nice bonus. Overall, a simple but practical addition if you want to help protect your garbage disposal from accidental drops.

The sink in our new home did not come with a stopper, and after two generic stoppers purchased at hardware stores were too small for our InSinkErator drain, the search on Amazon began! Since the stoppers in this listing stated that they were by InSinkErator, I hoped that meant they would actually fit. I purchased the plain black, and the STP-DS Silver Saver Sink Stopper, Polished Stainless Steel, and both fit perfectly and seal tightly to fill the sink. I love the stainless dual-position stopper (STP-DS)! Our sink has a single drain with a disposal, and this stopper looks great and grips tightly in place, yet is easily removed when needed. I love that I can leave it in place all of the time, just pulling up the silver part of the stopper and slightly twisting to the open position. Water and smaller food can go down the drain to the disposal, but large items (like spoons!) are kept out. I can run my disposal with the stopper in the open position, and a quick twist allows the stopper to close to fill the sink for dishwashing. Brilliant! It was expensive (I know, it's just a sink stopper, right?), but I must say that for me it is worth it for the good looks and convenience of use, and since it stays in the drain, not having to find a place to put the stopper when not in use. I only wish that the silver top part of the stopper would stay perfectly straight when in the open position, as it tips slightly to the side (not enough to remove a star!). I wasn't sure how the stainless stopper was going to work out, so I had also ordered the plain black stopper (STP-PL Plastic Sink Stopper, Black). It's a basic stopper like I am used to having, made of hard plastic with a rubbery feeling seal that grips tight. I kept it as a back-up.

My husband and I love this sink stopper. It stops wash cloths, silver ware and other items from falling into the garbage disposal while allowing water to drain out. It is easy to twist to close and fill the sink. I purchased and returned less expensive versions of sink plugs. This plug is worth the money. It fits well with the Insinkerator quiet rubber gasket.

I am cranky bc this is over priced in my mind, yet I was unable unable find anything that's design functioned the way this one did. So maybe it is worth the price. I don't regret buying it - it actually stops utensils from falling down the disposal and closes nicely. The quality of the metal is so so, nothing fancy but works and serves its purpose. This is the only stopper I've found that let's larger food items down the drain no problem. There is no clogging, I don't really have to clean this obsessively, it just sits and does it's thing.

ive been wanting this for many years but the price was like 50 dollars and im just not one to waste money that way. I finally got to put it to the test i have a 22x33 full open sink. I had my entire sink filled with dishes and silverware and i just partially washed and transferred it all to the dishwasher. this kept anything from falling in the disposal so i dont have to put my hand down in there anymore its a real nice piece and works wonderfully. my only downfall to it is that as it sits propped up it sits at an angle due to how it was designed. not a big deal though. I am going to have to guess this will not only save my silverware but also might help to prolong the life of my insinkerator. Ive had to change my insinkerator 4 times in about 11 years now im onto year 14 and probably due for another soon. i did learn about putting ice down there to clean it which also prolongs it so that might hopefully help too.

Finally I found a stopper for my Insinkerator disposal side of the sink...took awhile ...this one was IMO pricey but worth it....It works!!! I can wash dishes now on that side without the water draining out! YAY!!

Très bon produit

I have an Insinkerator garburator that came with our home. The plug that was with it never worked. I replaced my sink and ordered a new quick lock mounting flange (great) and ordered this to plug the sink. The sink finally works when plugged. Meaning it doesn't drain water within minutes. Love the product line.

We are very pleased with this item. It is far better and simpler to use in the waste disposal than the original one. Marvellous!

Fitted perfectly and does exactly what it says. And yes it falls over a little, but does that actually matter?

Was a bit doubtful if my measurement of the original to be replaced was accurate - the rubber flange had perished. But I needn't have worried. This fits perfectly. Happy bunny. I'd hate to have to replace the whole waste disposal unit just because of a defunct Sink Stopper.
