[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I self-installed this unit where I didn't have one. Directions were easy to understand. It runs very quietly. Very good product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good overall

It's been seven months since I installed this disposer. At 1/2 hp, it's definitely better than the previous 1/3 hp unit which jammed & never worked again. This new unit at 1/2 hp, has jammed only once. My hubby easily fixed it with the recommended broomstick-jab method described in the manual.
But that's the only drawback--we need to shut off the circuit breaker to the disposer, take out the sink flange, and jam a broomstick into the top of the disposer--alternately against & in the direction of rotation to get it unjammed. Then put the flange back in before turning the circuit breaker back on again. Other disposers require only a twist of a hexagaonal wrench.
It chews up chicken bones & food debris easily, though not right away if there's a big load dumped in, but over time with each use of the disposer, that load disappears.
This unit also sucks water down. We like that. I had filled the sink up with water to soak some pots and pans in. After I was done, I took the stopper out, let it drain for about 4 seconds before flipping the disposer on. That thing created a whirlpool effect & in short order sucked all the water down the drain. Nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This disposal was easy to install and fits nicely under the sink. Runs quietly and seems to do a good grinding up the food.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is an exact replacement

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Going by previous installation. Does an excellent job and quickly. This one seems quieter. Just wish there were some saftguard to keep metal objects from getting into disposer, but that is a a problem with all disposers. Maybe someone will come up with something in the future.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Disposal for the price

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This compact unit really delivers, easy installation I installed this in about 30 minutes with no assistance and no leaks on the first try. Unit does make noise but tollarable and works very well. I have no complaints at this time, if this is like the other GE products we have it will last for quite some time I'm sure.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy installation, fit with no changes to existing plumbing. A little noisey compared to the unit it replaced, but seems to work well so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!
