GE Disposall GFC325N Garbage Disposer 1/3 HP

Overview

Snapping onto a sink flange under the counter, the GE Disposall grinds food waste with stainless steel swivel impellers fed through a continuous inlet. An angled fin pumps water and ground waste down the pipe, and the mount system connects to the existing plumbing and wiring.

Rust-resistant stainless steel grinding parts and the drain fin are what make this disposer worth having, since they stay sharp and move waste along without clogging. The motor is the entry size for light use, so a busy kitchen that grinds large volumes every day will want more power. The attached cord means it plugs into an outlet under the sink without hardwiring.

Who it's for

A one or two cook kitchen that scrapes pasta, peels and plate leftovers into the sink and wants the install done in a few steps with a cord already attached. Households that run the disposer hard several times a day, or want a sound-insulated shell, should look at a larger Disposall model.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Grind quality comes from impeller speed and torque: the faster the chamber spins, the finer the waste is cut and the less likely it is to jam. The angled fin adds water pressure so ground waste moves through the trap instead of settling. A smaller motor stalls sooner on fibrous or dense scraps, so feeding slowly with the water running governs how the unit copes.
