Hi All,

What is the general consensus (he asked, optimistically) on which are the
best garbage disposals on the market?

Thanks for your time and advice!

It depends on what you need. I have had good luck with In-Sinkerator
brands.

Our In-Sinkerator 3/4 horsepower w/auto-reverse has been flawless for
the 5 years that we've had the house. I'm not sure how long before
that it was installed.

You can't put just anything down them though. Read the manual of
whatever you get. Things like cornhusks, artichoke hearts, etc
("woody" or "fiberous" things) do not work. At least from what I'm
told, personally I've never tried anything like that.

Having grown up with a batch feed model that is what I prefer. I have none
now. When I remodel my kitchen I was thinking of this Franke:

But at $298 it is a bit more expensive than most. I don't know what
advantages it has.

Any garbage disposal that would get bought and installed at my house. We
don't have one. I forget about wanting one sometimes. Have managed for the
last 10 years without one! LOL!

I got a 3/4 HP Bone Crusher disposal by Sinkmaster about 7 years ago and it
has worked flawlessly.

We used to have a Viking 1 hp that was awesome -- took chicken bones, crab
shells, you name it. Of course, it's almost $500. Now that we're on septic,
we got an InSinkErator septic disposer, which injects natural microorganisms
into the grind chamber every time the disposer is activated. Even the
skeptical seen-it-all septic tank pumping guy had to admit it worked really
well!

I now find $535. Gee. And I thought lusting after a $298 Franke was being
excessive. It better be totally quiet for that price.

According to the guy who is redesigning my kitchen, go just about any
brand, just buy the biggest motor you can get.

Bigger is better. The smaller ones just don't have enough power and they
tend to jam. I think 3/4 HP is the lowest I would consider.
