2013 update: Some reviewers stated that this is made from "cheap plastic," but it doesn't look cheap, at all, on our sink. It works perfectly and looks exactly like our chocolate brown Blanco sink. It looks exactly as it looked when we installed it last March or April. It's very hard to see it, which is important because our kitchen is actually very close to our home's entrance and dining room, and is open. And it goes perfectly with our Mediterranean bronze Mico faucet. It's nearly invisible in the Blanco sink, though. All of our fixtures (mostly Cifial with 1 Moen handheld showerheads) go with it, as well. We held them all up to each other to see how everything blended together, and it all worked. The switch, after about 10 months of use, works easily with no sticking. While I have gotten a little water in it every so often (wet hands pushing the button) it didn't hurt it. I normally try to dry my hands though before using. No chips or any other sort of wear and tear look, to date. No shorting out or anything else. It works great.OLD: Our kitchen sink is highly visible from the dining room and located in an island. So we couldn't put the normal disposal switch in a wall, and really didn't want to. This thing is great. It matches the sink perfectly and works great. I do wonder if water will hurt it as it was put right in the sink lid and not on the counter beside the sink, but our plumber and electrician both told us it would be fine and that where it is, is the normal spot for it. We're extremely happy with it, though. It's also got a "cool" factor which is always fun!
