6 Features to Consider When Replacing Your Garbage Disposal
Suppose your garbage disposal has reached ten years, or you constantly reset the appliance. In that case, it’s probably time for a new unit. As you begin looking for a new garbage disposal, each brand and model will have interesting options to consider. But before you decide, there are six specific features Smylie One recommends you consider first.
Horsepower
Depending on the garbage disposal model you select, the strength of the electric motors on these appliances ranges from 1/3 to 1 horsepower. The disadvantage of using a 1/3 horsepower disposal is its poor quality internal components, which rust quickly, and the unit jams easily.
Material
Top-quality garbage disposals are manufactured with stainless steel parts. That material is long-lasting and often outlives the motor. Other less expensive disposals are equipped with plastic parts and components that will crack and dry out. Models to avoid are galvanized steel brands that rust.
Noise Level
Manufacturers incorporate sound-deadening features to quiet the appliance. Still, those features are not the same across the garbage disposal industry. As you research sound-deadening technology, the features to look at are the insulated mounting baffles and nylon-coated grinding parts.
Power Cord
Not all garbage disposal models come with a power cord. Typically the inexpensive models do not have them and are an extra part you’ll need to purchase unless your existing cord is a reusable match. The direct-wired units require an electrician to connect it to your electrical system.
Batch or Continuous Feed
Batch feed disposals operate in batches and turns on once a stopper has covered the disposal opening, eliminating a wall switch installation. The continuous feed uses an on/off wall switch, so you can add food as it operates, and an optional splash guard is provided to protect the opening.
Cost
Garbage disposal pricing varies. Inexpensive, limited-use models are usually under $100. The higher-priced models come equipped with a 1-horsepower motor ranging from $200 to $300. Batch feed units cost more than continuous feed, and a first-time disposal installation can exceed $500 to cover parts and labor.

5 Reasons Why You Should Avoid DIY Garbage Disposal Installation
Over time any garbage disposal will need replacing for various reasons. Such as lack of performance, doesn’t always work, or the appliance is old and no longer operates. And though there are many do-it-yourself guides on how to replace the unit. There are five reasons to have a professional plumber do this for you instead.
Prevents Failures
An experienced plumber knows the difference between using a shared line versus a dedicated garbage disposal pipe. Having a separate line installed protects the appliance should the shared line become clogged, preventing the disposal from operating.
Redo Plumbing
Often, replacing a garbage disposal uncovers piping issues not anticipated or expected. For instance, plumbing lines need replacing due to cracking, poorly installed drainage pipes, or completely redoing all the plumbing under the sink.
No Matching Parts
Manufacturers of garbage disposals do not design or make parts to match or fit other brands or models. Moen parts are not intended for KitchenAid, Waste King, or Everbilt, nor do any of these brand’s installation components work with Moen.
Harder Than It Looks
It’s a daunting task if you’ve never installed a continuous-feed or batch-feed garbage disposal or the different brands, models, and sizes. Even a highly trained professional plumber will admit it’s not easy installing a garbage disposal.
Never Needed
Assuming the garbage disposal needed replacing may have been another plumbing issue altogether. Installing a new unit, only to discover later that’s not the problem, could have been avoided when a plumber conducts a thorough diagnosis first.
