1/2 vs 3/4 horse power

We went from the 3/4 to the 1/2 and HATE the 1/2. It doesn’t chew the food up well enough and now the food comes up thru the adjoining sink’s drain. It was properly installed by a plumber btw.

Can I install it myself?

I guess I'm a "handy" around the house but plumbing and I don't usually get along very well so I generally avoid it at all cost. None-the-less I couldn't see paying someone to install a garbage disposal. It turned out to be fairly easy. The instructions cover about 90% of what I needed to know to do the installation. The 10% missing stumped me for about an hour. Overall it took me about 2 hours, probably should have only taken less than an hour. Plumbing is sometimes is like a black whole for me - I' m in my 60's and still have a mental block with most plumbing issues. Hope that helps. : )

any plastic parts, i.e. case body.=?

the case is plastic and internal is all stainless.

what about the dishwasher connection?

very easy to connect dishwasher. The connections all fit together so easily.
