Plumber says one thing, CR says another.

Reviewed by Ford the novice (Casual Cook) from Houston, TX on Dec 23, 2009

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

After former construction pros mis-installed an old disposal (oldie but goodie), it started to leak (two years later). My plumber said oops, not covered by warranty, get a Badger, Consumer Reports wasn't as friendly to this little creature, so I bought the GE model (little warranty, but buyers liked). Easy to install, quite, does the job, no problems yet... and not that much more than the lowly 1/2 HP Badger.

Great Garbage Disposal

Reviewed by George from Texas (Home Improvement Novice) from Abilene, TX on Jun 20, 2009

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I already had this Garbage Disposal installed. If it weren't for an electrical storm, I would still have the old one installed. It was super easy to install, but then again, I had the same model installed prior to installing this new one. The only thing I wished I had done was buy Plumbers Putty prior to taking out the old one. It is super quiet and chews up pretty much anything that I to dispose of.

Reviewed by diyeana (Home Improvement Novice) from Salt Lake City, UT on Jun 30, 2008

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

So far it's working great. I really haven't had it long enough to know if it will wear out easily. But I do love how quiet it is. And according to Consumer Reports, it's a good quality garbage disposal for the money. I had someone else install it (because of the wiring) but he said it was really easy to install.

Pros:

Quiet, Powerful, Easy to install

Reviewed by Propeller Head (Home Improvement Novice) from Syracuse NY on Sep 17, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

This was a very easy product to install, and so far, seems plenty powerful for my needs. I wanted to check the "Noisy" box under CONS, but it really isn't that noisy, just a little noisier than I expected after having read reviews that say how quiet it is. Overall I am quite satisfied with this disposal unit, and have no problems recommending it to anyone who wants a decent product, but doesn't want to take out a loan to pay for it.

Pros:	Easy to install, Powerful

If this replaces the GFC700Y....

... then you might be in for a headache. I'm replacing my GFC700Y, which was installed 3 years ago. Its leaking at the bottom seal now. I read that this model replaces mine. 1- Good, it needed a replacement. 2- Hmm, do I really want to experiment with a similar model?

Cons:

Wears Out Quickly
