Nice stopper but not meant to actual STOP water!,

This review is from: InSinkErator STP-SS Sink Stopper, Stainless Steel (Tools & Home Improvement)
I recently purchased this stainless stopper by In-Sink-Erator and was somewhat disappointed that it did not fit snuggly into In-Sink-Erator sink/disposal rim though the product claims to do so. (I do have an In-Sink-Erator disposal and water began to slowly drain immediately) When I called In-Sink-Erator directly, I spoke to two different customer service reps that stated the stopper is NOT meant to stop water for any sustained periods of time, only "temporarily" and apologized that the packaging said so. I have had luck in the past with this item but not all In-Sink-Erator sinks/drains will work with this product. Most disappointing. What good is a stopper if it does not stop?

I was having trouble with other sink stoppers. I tried three different kinds and nothing would hold the water in my sink. My husband was about to completely replace the entire drain unit until I found this. Thank goodness. Now I have no trouble filling the sink up. It is a little difficult to remove it - only because I really have to pull hard sometimes but it is completely worth it to not fill up my sink three times to wash a sink full of dishes. Yeah!

After reading the previous three reviews and seeing a 5 star rating, I decided this stopper would be the answer to all my problems. In November, 2008, I installed at 5/8 hp Insinkerator garbage disposal. Like those who have gone before me, I was surprised to find no stopper included with the unit. Off to Lowe's to purchase a nifty little stainless steel stopper. Come home, put it in the sink, fill the sink with water, turn my back to get dirty dishes, and wow! Where did the water go? Call Insinkerator and ask what I should use to prevent the water from flowing from the sink and I was told by Insinkerator that they do not design their stoppers to stop water! ????????????? (go figure!) So I decided to research online what other creative customers of Insinkerator were using to aleviate this problem.
Reading the reviews of this stopper, it was the only stopper reviewed that said it actually worked. One review even said it was difficult to remove, which said to me that...Read more
