1/2 HP Corded Garbage Disposal for Kitchen Sinks | FF05DISPC1

Great disposer that's at least $100 less than some self-proclaimed higher-end units. Nicely packaged with clear, concise instruction manual, too. I bought this based on Consumer Reports' recommendation and was not disappointed. One thing you'll need that's not included in the box is plumber's putty. No big deal but wouldn't it be nice if it was? Oh, there's also a 'magnetic ring', a "Silver Guard" that fits around the neck of the unit just under the sink. Because it's magnetic, it'll only work on steel or ferrous materials that might happen to fall in. This leaves out stainless steel, silver, aluminum but it'll work great on nuts, bolts and nails; just in case...

Real pleased with this Frigidaire Disposal. Consumer Reports rates this as the best performing and at a much lower price than other comparable brands, like InSinkerator, Moen, etc. 3/4 HP and still very quiet. Install was fairly easy, as easy as any other brand I decided to make hard wire connections prior to mounting the disposal under the sink, I think that was way easier then mounting then wiring. Highly recommend this product.

Quiet, powerful, recommended, easy to install.

This thing got consumer reports top rating last time they tested garbage disposals, so after deciding to finally install a garbage disposal I figured we’d give this a try rather than buying one of the more traditional ISE ones for double the price. So far it seems to work great and it’s very quiet. It’s almost silent when running “empty” (water only) and the only time you get noise is when it has stuff to grind. Even the grinding noises are muffled somewhat. The only gripe I have is the the effectiveness of their magnetic silverware guard ring thing seems greatly exaggerated. I’m unsure if its because they used magnets that are too weak, or if our silverware just lacks iron content, or both, but attempting some tests it really doesn’t seem like the magnets do much. I’d say the rubber skirt thing does more to prevent spoon-grinding accidents than the magnets. - anything dropped directly in the center of the drain is going in. Magnets do nothing, rubber does nothing because there an open hole there. - something sliding along the bottom of the sink is more likely to get diverted away from the drain hole, but not if it’s made of non-ferrous alloy that isn’t attracted to magnets. This includes stuff like aluminum as well as stainless steel (which contains ether much less iron compared to carbon steel or sometimes no iron). - as previously mentioned, I think the thick heavy rubber skirt does more than anything else to prevent stuff from accidentally going down than any magnets do. But since that’s so heavy, the magnets only need to do a little diversion to keep something from hitting the small open center hole. Unfortunately they can’t even do that to a spoon or fork containing no iron. So I’d probably give this 5 stars if it weren’t for the exaggerated claims about the silverware guard. The heavy rubber and magnets do help some but you’re still going to have to maintain the same level of vigilance to prevent a spoon-grinding incident. Do not depend on this feature at all or some spoons and forks are getting rekt.

So far so good! Much quieter than the Kenmore unit it replaced. Installation was straight forward and I had the whole job done in less that 20 minutes. It's only the 2nd time I've ever replaced one so I feel that I'm a novice at best. Does have a bit of a loud "clack" when first turned on and empty as the pulverizer blades spin outward. Handy magnet collar that is supposed to keep metal utensils from going into the unit but most of my silverware is stainless so it doesn't do me a lot of good but still a nice feature.

Sure got high ratings and reviews on Consumer Reports. Price was fair. The unit is extremely quiet compared to my old 1/3 hp Insinkerator. Unit mounted right onto the sink and seems to work great.

Works Great and is very quiet and powerful! Highly recommend this product!!!

Wow! Powerful and incredibly quiet. Highly recommend.
