Overview
A kitchen sink drain with an outlet nearby is the setting for this standard-duty disposer. A permanent magnet motor spins at high speed, and the unit ships with a power cord.
The included cord means one less part to source, and a high-speed magnet motor gives useful power for the weight. The limitation is thin detail, since mounting, feed type and grind specifications are all missing.
Who it's for
Straightforward replacements in a sink that already has a standard opening suit this model. Shoppers who want sound insulation, jam-prevention features or detailed install specs should compare higher-spec disposers.
Pros and cons
- Power cord included
- Permanent magnet motor
- Over-the-counter replacement warranty
- Wattage entry too low for the motor
- Mounting and feed details missing
- No sound insulation described
- Galvanized steel, no stainless
Performance notes
A permanent magnet motor spins at high speed to deliver more power per pound of weight. Feed type and grind chamber details are absent, so real-world capability on tougher scraps is unknown. Power comes through the supplied cord.
