How to Choose the Right Garbage Disposal for Your Kitchen

Selecting the right garbage disposal for your kitchen can make daily cleanup easier and keep your plumbing running smoothly. With so many options available, it’s important to choose one that suits your household’s needs.

How to Choose the Right Garbage Disposal

1. Motor Power and Size

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.

2. Noise Level

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.

3. Grinding Chamber Material

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.

4. Batch vs. Continuous Feed

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.

5. Installation and Maintenance

Choosing the right garbage disposal is only half the battle — proper installation ensures it operates safely and efficiently. At GoFlow Plumbing, we offer fast, professional installation services with clear, upfront pricing so there are no surprises.
