Great product. Easy DIY project.

It was a great DIY project!! Was easy and well guided. The diaposer works smoothly and efficiently. I literally had to spend more time to remove my old unit (from another brand) than installing the new unit. The product looks smaller than my old unit. But this unit is way more smooth and powerful in operation.
I upgraded my 1/3 hp garbage disposal to a 1/2 hp model. As they were both made by GE, the old one plugged right in! A little research on the wiring chart and I put in my very first garbage disposal in about an hour (learning as I went and working in a little tight space).
When moving to our new home a disposal wasnt even considered a necessity but after noticing how quiet and efficient it is, i now feel its one kitchen appliance i couldnt do without! A great way to stay green and recycle foodscraps to condense less trash. I love my GE disposal!
This is an overall good disposal. Very easy to install, quiet and never clogged. My understanding was disposals last 8+ years on average. However, a little after two years it started leaking from the bottom (through the nut that holds the bottom cover in place). It seems like an internal gasket or seal failed. This disposal was not used heavily, so I was very disappointed that it failed so soon. But I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt and replaced it with the same disposal to avoid disturbing the pipe work. Will see how the new one turns out.
