What Customers Are Saying

The GE garbage disposal appears to have mixed reviews. While some customers found it easy to install, quiet, and powerful, others reported issues with durability and longevity, such as broken blades, rusting, and premature failure. Proper installation and cautious use of the disposal can help maximize its lifespan, but it may not be as long-lasting as more premium models.

Product is good

Would Recommend

Product is nice and less noice. But installation took time as didn't come default wiring with plug. I had ended up taken out wire from existing erator and attached to new one.

Simple to Install

Would Recommend

Removal of the old disposal was a challenge but the new one was easy to install. I would recommend using plumbers putty to ensure no leaks. Thanks again

Easy to install

Would Recommend

Easy to install. Directions are clear. I just installed it, but it is relatively quiet and seems to do a great job. Small footprint, and all the pieces I needed were in the box. I am replacing my old GE disposAll that lasted 20 years.

Terrible!

I've gone through 2 of these in almost 8 years! We've lived in our house for 7 1/2 years. The first one was installed by the builder and lasted about 3 years until the motor died. I replaced with the same model because it was the easiest option to reinstall. This one lasted until last week when the blades jammed and sheared off the center bolt they spin around! We're not putting bones or dense foods down there. Of course the warranty on this model is only 2 years. They want you to have to ...

Easily installed

Would Recommend

It was easy to install. It was my first time installing a garbage disposal. The rubber gasket was a little difficult but I did it. It recently froze up but I hit the reset button on the side and it's working again. Thanks

Seized twice after very light use within 1st year

Would Not Recommend

Had this installed in our new home with septic system. Very light use perhaps once every couple of weeks for 2-3 people. When it runs its seems efficient and quiet, however it has frozen up twice within the past year. First time we couldn’t get the motor to turn using recommended methods and reviewed some YouTube videos. Hired a plumber who was surprised to learn there isn’t way to try to manually turn it (like other disposals) by using a hex wrench. Plumber ended up taking the unit apart t...

Not Good For The Long Haul

Would Not Recommend

I just removed this GE Model #GFC520N from the sink today because there is a clog in the drain I still haven't been able to clear up and trying to find out why as there should not be large food stuffs get by the disposal. This GE disposal is over 10 years old so this is more about the after effects of time. I sent a photo to illustrate, but what happened was the blades are galvanized steel and they are good but won't work because the spinning base TOTALLY rusted and distorted to the point of l...
