How to Choose the Right Garbage Disposal for Your Kitchen

Garbage disposals range in power from 1/3 horsepower to 1 horsepower. Smaller motors are ideal for light use in apartments or households with minimal food waste, while larger motors are better suited for families that frequently cook and require more robust grinding capabilities.

Some garbage disposals are designed with noise-reduction features that make kitchen cleanup quieter. If a peaceful kitchen environment is important to you, consider investing in a model with added insulation for reduced noise.

Stainless steel grinding components are durable and resist corrosion, ensuring a longer lifespan for your disposal. Investing in higher-quality materials can reduce the need for frequent repairs.

Continuous feed models allow you to add food waste while the disposal runs, making them convenient for busy kitchens. Batch feed models operate only when a cover is securely in place, offering extra safety for homes with children.
