REVIEW –
1) 5 years and running well. - I've had this disposer for over 6 years with no issues.
I had my septic tank pumped 7 years ago and again this fall. Seven years ago I was told it was nearly full and a good thing that I called them out. This fall I was asked if I had it pumped every year and when I said that it had been 7 years ago, they were stunned. They told me it was not even 25% full and I shouldn't have had them come out. That my issues were with water, not the tank. Considering that I added this disposer shortly after the last pumping with zero impact to the septic system/tank tells me that it works.
The BioCharge can be expensive when purchased locally (ususally 25% higher), but is a little more reasonable when bought through Amazon. Either way, that is a planned expense and averages between 3 and 4 times per year.

2) InSinkErator is still the best - This is the 2nd disposal that I have installed. Our old house was on county sewer, so we did not need the added benefits of the Septic Assist. It was much more difficult to install than the new one.
The box includes nearly everything you need to install it. The only other things you need to have on hand is the plumber's putty to seal the flange in the sink, and some romex to attach the power. I did the job solo, but it would have been helpful to have another pair of hands to hold the drain in the sink while I cliped on the locking ring. Now that InSinkErator has the removable rubber seal that slips into the drain from the top, mounting the unit to the twist lock under the sink was a breeze. Since the power was already run to an outlet under the sink, I had this installed in under an hour.
I don't know how long the bottle of Septic Assist will last, but we have used it for a week without a noticable lowering of the contents of the bottle.
Running the unit is much quieter than the old ones. It's not silent, but the combination of vibration dampers and insulated chassis makes it quiet enough to talk over. It's more of a hum than a roar.
All in all, a relief to have a disposal again at the new house. Of course, only time will tell what impact it will have when we need to get the septic pumped. We plan to have it pumped every 2 years in order to keep the risk of overflow to a minimum.
