Our verdict

The disposer to buy when bones, peels and fibrous scraps go down the drain daily and noise matters. It is heavy, tall and listed as contractor distributed, so plan the install.

Overview

A homeowner who grinds bones, corncobs and peels without wanting to hear it gets a continuous feed disposer with a full horsepower induction motor and a stainless grind chamber. Food passes through three grind stages while sound insulation and anti-vibration mounts hold the noise down, and a jam sensor raises torque when something sticks.

Three stage grinding backed by a jam sensing circuit is the reason to choose it, along with a sound package built to cut noise at the sink. It is a heavy, tall unit with a long in-home service warranty, and the description notes distribution through plumbing contractors, so support may route through an installer.

Who it's for

Households that cook from scratch and fill the sink with rib bones, celery and potato peels, especially in an open kitchen where disposer noise carries. Renters who cannot change plumbing, or anyone replacing a small disposer in a cramped cabinet, should measure first because this is a tall, heavy unit.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Full horsepower induction motor
  • Three stage grinding with jam sensor
  • Stainless steel grind chamber
  • Auto-reverse clears jams
Cons
  • Heavy for a one person install
  • Listed as sold through plumbing contractors
  • Warranty term differs between specs and description
  • Intermittent duty rating, not continuous running

Performance notes

Grinding comes from the induction motor driving three grind stages in a stainless chamber, so waste is reduced progressively instead of in one pass. When a hard piece stalls the chamber, the jam sensing circuit multiplies torque and the auto-reverse feature changes direction, so corncobs and bones clear without reaching for the reset button. Noise is governed by the insulation wrapped around the housing and the anti-vibration mounts at the sink and tailpipe.
