Ratings & Reviews for GE Continuous feed 1/2-HP Septic Safe Corded Garbage Disposal

Why has the metal portion Corroded?

Poorly made. Why has it corroded less than 2 years after being installed in a new build

Septic safe and compact

Slim design

Reliable/dependable

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!

Highly disappointed.

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 sa...

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 ...

Garbage, garbage disposal

I’d give zero stars if I could, stopped working after 2 years Don’t buy

Easy to Install

My husband and I installed this garbage disposal today. It replaced a similar GE model (GFC520F) that was installed 13 years ago. The installation instructions were very easy to follow and it fit perfectly. It is working very well. We couldn't be happier with this product.

EASY INSTALL

VERY QUIET HOPE IT CAN STAND THE TEST OF TIME(WIFE)

Great brand

Great Brand, I will re-purchase it again. And tell my family and friends.

Very solid disposal.

Great product works well. Installation was very easy. Well written Installation instructions. Replaced a 16 year old GFC320F. Would definitely buy again.

Easy Install

This was the easiest install I've completed ever. I'm completely novice regarding plumbing and handy (around the house) work. It took me 15 minutes max to install this device. *side note* it was a replacement, not a new install.*

Had to replace after just 4 years

We purchased our home in March if 2019, just my wife and I living in the home. We eat out often so we do not utilize the disposal often. One of the knives came off leaving the disposal useless. On the positive side I replaced it with the same model and it was a ten minutes repair. We are hoping we get more then 4 years out of this one.

Disposal

Fit the space exactly as the old disposal.

Stopped working in less than 2 years

Stopped working after 18 months. Just get a humming noise when trying to use it. No obstructions. Bought the corded model for the 2 year warranty, but now have to try to get it replaced without paying GE $115 dollars to have someone come out and tell me it's broke.

Easy Install and Works Well

This unit was very easy to install as I was replacing a previous GE garbage disposal. All I had to do was release the old one and attach this new one. It also appears to work very well.

Tolerance Off

I've been unable to get this installed for hours. The mounting ring seems to be out of tolerance, because it can't fit over the cushion mount on the sink flange. Expected more from GE.

Will die after 2 years of low use

This came pre-installed in my new house. With only two people living here and regular/low use i already have to replace it. My plumber said they don’t even use this size in apartments.

Okay for the job

Just installed. Seems to be ok. More later. Not really tested with food waste yet.
