Smooth Operation

After installing this product, I turned it on and it works great. Very quiet compared to the same model I had for 8 years before the motor went bad.

Impellers break off

I am on my third GFC520. The first two, after slightly more than 2 years, broke. In each case the impellers on the grinding plate separated. We are very careful what we grind - no bones, cut into small pieces before grinding etc. Assumed the first was an anomaly. Only bought a third since customer r...

We replaced the 28 year old GFC525F, which finally gave out with a new GFC525N. It worked great all those years and we know the replacement will be going long after we are gone!

This unit stopped working within two years, and during those two years it jammed multiple times. I have a single person household with very limited use of the disposal. Despite that it's constantly jammed. I noticed that most of the comments giving this unit hi rankings focused on the installation and price from new users however, most have the same experience, I have who have had this unit beyond two years, I would never buy it again. I am in the process of replacing and may not consider the same manufacturer.

Easy to install - Great directions

I just installed this garbage disposer. It was very easy to install. The combination of pictures and clearly written directions are much appreciated. We replaced a 20 year old GE unit and hope this one lasts as long. There are brief directions for how to use, and clean the unit. They clearly list the warranty information of one year and how to extend your warranty. It took me about 20 minutes to install. Removing the old unit took more like an hour due to difficulty loosening the sink drain. I found an easy solution by spraying DW 40 on the threads.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
