Not ideal for Granite Countertops,
March 20, 2008 Thomas A. Campbell (Rockland County, NY) - See all my reviews
The product works quite well once installed - no over-pressure drip problems like earlier undersink dispensors used to have. Heats water quietly and quickly, and 2/3 gall tank is more than enough for most uses. The plumbing is solid brass (flexible) and is brazed well to the base.
HOWEVER - This product, as shipped, it only for enamel or stainless steel surround sinks. The threaded base is only 1 inch, meaning that for any solid surface (granite, corrian) countertop, it doesn't extend below the counter surface to attach the retaining ring. For anything an inch or thicker, you must purchase an EXP-10 extension screw base for approx $25.
Effects of the EXP-10 extension:
The long length of the extention makes it difficult to get over the various nuts and connections attached to the dispensor - you may have to temporarily disconnect some of the compression fittings until you get the extension over them.

Can easily fill a 32oz camel back bottle in less then 30 seconds. The design and fit an finish of this product is the best I have seen in this class and for the price this is the best deal out there. My only criticism is the install manuals is really not the best, if you are not comfortable with doing minor plumbing work then find a friend that is...this was not at all easy to install. Especially if you plan on adding a water filter - which really if you get this model...Read more

This review is from: InSinkErator HC-WaveSN-SS Involve Series Wave Hot and Cold Water Dispenser with Stainless Steel Tank, Satin Nickel (Tools & Home Improvement)
Hope this review helps others : I searched and searched for a hot/cold H2O dispenser. I wanted one with the kit option (with tank) so I was not spending an enormous amount of money. I bought this ensinkerator and had it professionally installed. It looks great, but it drips and drips when the unit is n the off position.
I returned it and got a different brand and spent about $50 more. We will c how the next one turns out...
