GE 1/3 HP Continuous Feed Garbage Disposer Non-Corded

If you drop the steel weight from your pressure cooker into your disposer, you can retrieve it and still use the pressure cooker. Your disposer will no longer have blades, however, so you should get one of these to replace it. It's fairly easy to install, but it's unlikely to grind up steel better than the old one.

Our old disposal locked up so hubby replaced it with this one. It works great. The drain part is thick rubber and I wish it was open a little more because water drains slow unless i stick something to hold the drain open further. I stick a small cup in there when I'm not using the sink, to hopefully stretch it a little bit. Other than that, it's great and you wont have any utensils accidently falling down the sink.

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. :)

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.

I didn't understand the significance of the weight or size of the garbage disposal prior to buying this one. Very strong unit amd worka really well. Loud and lots of torque though. The latter causing significant vibration of aluminum sink. Very competitvely priced which ultimately works for me.

Great product

Didn't last long. It is already not working.

Easy replacement for the old one that was 10 years old.

Well made with good selection of fittings, but no good for UK as it is 100 volts

مشكلته انه ١١٠ مو ٢٢٠

It is ok for a small family.The thing is that no where else there is no mention of the instrument working in 110-120 v 60hz cycle in the description of th product and it is misleading in the case of Indian custemer.The descrption of the product is not apt for Indian custemers.
