Pros: Cheap
Easy to install
Lots of power
Cons: Not enough noise to scare the cats off the counter anymore
After moving out of an apartment with a disposal into a house that didn't have one, I really started to notice how much organic waste was thrown into the trash and since it was just two of us it would sit for a week for garbage day.
I looked hard around at stores near by and at online reviews for them. They were all 300+ and didn't have as many good reviews as this one. I risked it and couldn't be happier.
I received it in less than a day for a small fee(something like 5$ more). Ordered Monday and got it Tuesday around noon.
The install was simple and the Easy Connector that was included was a breeze to put together. I do recommend doing what it says in the manual and put the whole system together outside of the sink.
The power is amazing. It shreds everything. The only thing I haven't tried is banana peels which my old disposal had problems with.
The noise level is on par with what you would expect from a 1hp motor. It was actually quieter than our old one but I'll chalk that up to the age of it. There is a slight "ting" sound if you turn the motor on with no waste down the drain. I assume it is from the actual moving bits inside hitting the stoppers, but if there is food it there you don't hear it.
It's been install for about a month now and had no problems at all with it.
Would defiantly recommend this one.
