I am very satisfied with the disposal I purchased, but there is one thing that I didn't realize due to purchasing it online and that it is a little noisy when turned on. It is something though that I can deal with. Next time I will purchase a higher end model.
This particular garbage disposal is loud and the drainage is poor.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello SJoyner - Thank you for providing a review on your disposer. We are sorry to hear of this difficulty. GE disposers can grind food waste at a rate of 8000 rpms. It is powerful enough to grind chicken bones and small steak bones. A disposer can sound like a blender running or even a small vacuum sweeper. This is normal. Additionally, when a disposer doesn't drain or drains poorly, it is normally caused by one of the following:
1. Food is still remaining in the garbage disposal. Run the disposer a little longer until the food has been completely ground up. CAUTION: NEVER PUT YOUR HAND INTO THE DISPOSER. BE SURE TO TURN OFF POWER FIRST, THEN ALWAYS USE TONGS OR A LARGE SPOON TO REMOVE OBJECTS FROM THE DISPOSER.
2. The plumbing is clogged. This may require a qualified plumber to correct..
We hope this helps. If any additional questions come up, please reach out to us at the “contact us” link on our website. Thank you for your feedback.
I'm not very "handy" so I was surprised how easy the disposal was to install with no leaks the first time and no silicone! The wiring instructions were so simple even I got it right. Although I did ask advice from an electrician friend because I was wiring it to a switch. Everything went smoothly and it works like a champ!
