What To Look For In A New Garbage Disposal

When considering a garbage disposal replacement, there are a few essential factors to keep in mind. These include:

• Feed Type. Generally speaking, disposal systems come in two different feed types: continuous and batch. As the name suggests, continuous systems operate as long as their wall switch is in the “On” position. Batch types require the manual insertion of a stopper into the system’s mouth before any food is processed.
• Motor Size. Disposal motors range in power level from 1/3 to 1 horsepower. Most models fall in the 1/2 horsepower range, but higher horsepower usually provides better performance and less noise.
• Chamber Size. Chamber size and motor size tend to correlate, with larger motors usually having large chambers. A larger chamber, of course, can handle higher volumes of food.
• Noise. Garbage disposal systems do not have official noise ratings, so this detail may be difficult to quantify. However, larger, costly models generally run at a much quieter noise level.
