GE Disposall Continuous Feed 1/2 Horsepower Motor Garbage Disposer, Good for Grinding: Cooked Meat, Beans, & Seeds, Easy Install Kit, Non-Corded, Recommended for 2-4 Person Homes, GFC520N

It's a garbage disposal. It's a GE. It's their middle range model. It does the job without costing too much. We don't do silly stuff like expect it to chop up pork chop bones, or just scrape our dirty plates into it instead of the garbage can, or pour hot fry oil down the hole. So it does what we ask of it, without a lot of noise. It does not shriek when it's empty like our old one did. Hook up was as easy as any other disposal. No leaks, no worries, it doesn't vibrate the steel sink. To be fair, we might use it a total of 5 minutes a day, and that's a lot. So we expect it to last forever. Another good product from GE. Happy customer.

I bought this as a replacement for an old garbage disposal and it fit perfectly. I had a friend install it for me and he was able to remove the old one and reinstall this one within minutes. Because we bought the same brand, just a newer version, we didn't have to replace any cables or fittings. Excellent disposal, very quiet and works great!

This is an updated model of the GE sink-grinder that served me well for ten years but that I ruined by clogging it with tiny gravel from transplanting a plant in the sink -- not a smart idea, I know (now). Anyway, what is best about this GE model (and its predecessor) is how small and compact it is in comparison to other maker's 1/2 HP sink grinders. Those others were half-again to twice the size, as well as twice or much more in price. It installed very easily (by a plumber, not me) since I had had essentially the same model before and the attachment bracketing was the same. Although this updated model was described as having some significant sound baffling, a rarity at this low price, this new one sounds no quieter than the prior model. However, I don't think it's unreasonably loud at all, nor did I think the prior model was. In an exhaustive search at the Big Box stores and on line, I judged this to be the best because of its power, small size, relatively low price, and reliable maker. Oh, Amazon's price was 30% less than elsewhere on line or in brick and mortar.

I had this installed to replace an older model that was no longer functional. Installation took about 30 minutes because it is not corded, and it works perfectly. However, the collar to mount it was broken when my plumber opened it. He was able to use the old part from the previous model so I did not have to take the trouble to return it and wait for a new one. Not as loud as the previous one. Best price I found anywhere. Not giving 5 stars because of broken part.

It was easy to put in and it’s not loud

By getting the exact same model...I didn't have to redo the sink top part as I had no leaks! Yay!We just unscrewed the old broken Disposal and attached the new one.(After finally maneuvering & getting the 2 screws loosened.)*We could not get the 2 screws loosened where the PVC pipe inserted into the side of the Disposal...So, I loosened the ring on the PVC pipe itself and shimmed pipe out sideways, to have leverage to get the 2 screws out using a ratchet once out from under the sink.A regular screwdriver did not work. From the start, the grooves cut into the screws were VERY shallow and no type of screwdriver would stay in, to be able to turn them at all. (This was the most frustrating part of self install.) TIPS ~ So be sure to have the right sized ratchet.*For support to catch the old unit and prop up the new one...I used a Gallon Paint Bucket with lid on, to slide underneath disposal, so it didn't drop down and fall and break to anything or hurt my hand. It was a perfect fit to support under disposal. ;-)I think I could have installed the entire new Disposal had the 2 stubborn screws been able to unscrew! (I'm a female) I had to get my neighbor to come help me finish up. He couldn't get the 2 screws loose either.So, I showed him I had loosened the side PVC pipe, and to shimmy it out sideways once the metal ring was loosened on top of old disposal using a Screwdriver to loosen ring and drop unit down on top of paint can, then to finally pull it out from under the sink and work on it on the floor.Otherwise, it was super easy to replace and inexpensive to not have to call a professional. :)

The best thing is the removable rubber disposer flange for easier cleaning!

Looks well made. Has an extender collar in the box with no obvious explanation on the package or in the instruction sheet or one the website. Process of elimination, it's for an alternate installation that doesn't apply to my sink.Much easier to lift into place and lock into the flange than the 1/2 horsepower unit I pulled out from under the sink. Had to adjust the PVC pipes to meet up with the disposer discharge pipe. About the same noise level as the larger disposer, but vibration when first installed was intense. One pipe connection shook loose and I had to tighten it down much more than I usually tighten PVC pipe threaded connections. After a month or so of intermittent use noise is about the same, vibration has much reduced, and the threaded connection is holding. I don't know why it vibrated when first installed and then settled down, but that's what it did.Compared to other 1/3 horsepower units this one looks better made. Priced much lower than any 1/2 horsepower disposer and big enough for the way I use a disposer. Works hard to digest half a lemon, so I just make an extra cut and feed it smaller pieces.
