What size garbage disposal do I need for my kitchen sink?

The size of the garbage disposal you need depends on household size and usage. A 1/3 to 1/2 HP model suits light use or small households, 3/4 HP works well for most families, and 1 HP or higher is best for frequent cooking, tougher scraps and quieter, smoother grinding.

What should you not put in a garbage disposal?

You should not put fibrous foods, large bones, fruit pits, grease, oil, fat, coffee grounds, eggshell membranes or nonfood items in a garbage disposal. These can wrap around the impeller, dull the grinding components, clog pipes or harden in the drain and cause blockages.

How do you choose between a continuous feed and a batch feed garbage disposal?

You choose between continuous feed and batch feed garbage disposals based on convenience and safety. Continuous feed models run while you add food waste, ideal for busy kitchens. Batch feed units only run with a stopper in place, offering extra safety and helping prevent accidental drops.

How can I make my garbage disposal last longer and run quietly?

You can make a garbage disposal last longer and run quietly by choosing one with a higher horsepower motor, stainless steel grinding components and built‑in sound insulation. Maintain it with cold water, small food loads, occasional ice cleaning and avoiding hard objects or fibrous materials.
