Garbage Disposal > Question
I need an good, inexpensive garbage disposal.
I went to Home Depot in search of a good yet inexpensive garbage disposal and couldn't really figure out which one to buy. They ranged from $69 to over $200. My dad said to buy one with no less than 3/4 horse power. Any suggestions?

A snippet from the site:
Plumbingsupply.com believes that Waste King disposers are the superior brand. They are called the Waste King Gourmet garbage disposals (used to be called the BoneCrushers from Sinkmaster). Plumbingsupply.com says "Their superior quality, easy maintenance and readily available repair parts make them your best choice".

There's really only 1 thing to worry about as far as garbage disposals go...are they too loud? Even a 1/4 HP motor will chew up most things people put in there. IF you're crazy enough to put chicken bones or other solid objects in there, you deserved to get it jammed. But most people use it for regular 'leftovers' and don't have any issues except sound. So if you have the means, go for the insulated "quiet" motors. They are more expensive, but you won't even know they're on unless you look at the switch. VERY nice!
