Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do Garbage Disposals Last?

The life expectancy of a garbage disposal averages 12 years. A properly maintained unit could last longer. You can make yours last longer by only putting approved items in it, avoiding chemicals, and taking care of the drain.  

What Type of Garbage Disposal Do I Need?

When you need to replace your garbage disposal, the size is one of the biggest factors in choosing a new model. Manufacturers describe the size of the motor in horsepower. Models with lower horsepower cost less, but they can't handle as much food or use. Common sizes include:

  • 1/3 horsepower: This size only handles occasional use, so it's not suitable for most kitchens if you plan to use it regularly.
  • 1/2 horsepower: With the smaller size, the 1/2 horsepower model works in tight spaces and for minimal use. It's best to put the food in the unit slowly and use plenty of water. 
  • 3/4 horsepower: A 3/4-horsepower garbage disposal tackles the needs of the average family well. It's less likely to jam even with larger amounts of food. 
  • 1 horsepower: For large families or home chefs that do lots of cooking, a 1-horsepower unit grinds through just about anything. However, they're more expensive and take up more space under your sink. 
  • Higher horsepower: Most units with higher horsepower ratings are designed for commercial use, but you can get larger residential garbage disposals if you have a larger family. 

Garbage disposals are either batch or continuous feed models. Batch feed garbage disposals require you to put the food in and place a stopper over it to grind up the food. With a continuous feed model, you flip the switch and it runs continuously.
