Yea, title says it all. First, Frigidaire is a great name in appliances that takes second place to no one. Second, it has a stainless steel grinding plate with a lifetime rust-out warrantee and 6 year overall warranty. Third, the price point for a 1/2 HP, stainless steel, 6 year disposal unit is excellent. Installation is on par with any disposer unit; mounting the disposer is trivial. Most of the work is getting the retaining ring-clip onto the bottom of the sink clamp assembly. Buy a small tub of plumbers putty at a big box store for $1.50 and you are good to go. None of the disposers come with putty. It’s cheap; why not just put a 2 or 3 oz blob in the box … anyway. I had a 1/3 HP Whirlaway that was installed when the house was built 25 years ago. That is another sleeping giant for quality and value. Seriously, 25 years for a “value” disposer! Motor was still fine but the grinding plate rusted out and something broke off then threw it off balance. It was shaking the entire house. I would have just done a direct replacement with another Whirlaway but at 1/2 HP (as a slight upgrade) Whirlaway was a week+ for delivery. That would have been a 3 minute replacement using the existing mount on the sink. I did all the usual searching and reviews and obviously was leaning toward Insinkarator but I also wanted stainless steel this time so no entry level Badger was going to work. Stainless Insinkarators take you up into the $200 minimum range and are no longer compact so also would have required a complete redo of the plumbing to get one to fit. To me, for a disposer that sees minimal usage, that much money + the extra work to install it was a non-starter. The Frigidaire fit the same compact location without any modification to the drains / plumbing, has a stainless grinder, 6+ year warrantee, and runs well. It’s much quieter than the prior one but maybe that’s not a fair statement because I really don’t remember what the other one sounded like 2 decades ago. No, it’s not silent, but you could easily have a conversation while using it without raising your voice. It only runs a few times a week for less than 10 seconds per run so the sound level was not a concern but is a welcomed feature. Yes, there is a “clack” at startup from the anti-jam cams engaging, but I can snap my fingers more loudly. It’s barely noticeable if you turn on the water before the disposer. In that case it’s just a soft “click”. I’ve never used my disposal as a substitute for a garbage can and I don’t plan to start doing so now. I find disposals to be a convenient way to deal with small scraps that would otherwise clog a drain. If you agree, a 1/3 or 1/2 HP unit is a great kitchen helper. If you are in the camp that likes to feed 5 pounds of garbage at a clip down your drain, you probably want a larger machine or maybe a wood chipper 😉

This Frigidaire garbage disposal checked all the boxes: Competitive price, powerful, and well reviewed by homeowners and Consumer Reports. The installation was straightforward and easy, altogether it took me about 45 minutes. My only real criticism is that the silver guard does not fit cast iron sinks due to the larger width of the sink flange. Frigidaire did not have anything in manual or online listings about this, I had to ask my friend who’s a plumber and he let me know why it doesn’t fit all the way around. The disposal works really well, it has no issue with food scraps or old leftovers. I don’t like the splash guard included due to the holes on it, so I just purchased a different one from another brand that didn’t look like it would get as dirty. This unit is surprisingly quiet. It’s slightly more quiet than the 3/4 horsepower Insinkerator 3 disposal I previously had that randomly stopped working after about 8 years.

Fantastic disposal. The power is great and it's fairly quiet. Excellent price and easy to install.

Great Product just installed and its clean slim and sound smooth !! only downfall is this disposal doesn't have the allen key on the bottom to clear out jams. not a deal breaker for me but that is a feature I would have liked it to have on a new device like this

My unit was installed today, and the plumber said it is a nice garbage disposal. I am pleased with it so far for several reasons: 1. It is quieter than my 10 year old 1/3 power unit that I replaced. 2. A 10 year manufacturer warranty 3. Bioshield provides odor control 4. Silver Guard is a powerful magnetic ring designed to catch silverware or metal objects before they can fall into the grinder 5. Stainless Steel swivel impellers and cutting components, which works with a balanced turntable 6. Instant High Speed torque and High RPM permanent magnetic motor 7. A 3 foot attached power cord 8. A Easy to clean removable splash guard 9. A Stainless steel sink stopper 10. Large size for my household 3/4 HP 11. Easy install 3-bolt mount 12. A reset button The plumber said it was an easy install, but the unit came with its own sink drain ring, not the drain line, so my old sink drain ring had to be replaced with the new one. The plumber was able to integrate the garbage disposal with my existing plumbing lines, and only added one adapter to match the dishwasher drain hose. The plumber did an excellent, neat and tidy job! See the photos and know that I blocked out some places where numbers were showing in the photos.

I don’t do reviews, but this thing warrants it. I had a badger that had died after only 5 years, and only had a 3 year warranty. So this Frigidaire seemed a great balance of power and affordability. On top of that, it has a 12 year warranty. It has double the power of the same priced badger, is much quieter than the badger, and has 4x the warranty. Absolutely fantastic purchase

Great little unit - good value but noisy

Llevo 15 días usándolo. No hace ruido excesivo. Facilísimo de instalar. Tritura fácilmente. No creo que pueda triturar huesos de aguacate, de durazno o huesos de carne. Yo tengo el de 1 1/4 caballos de fuerza. Requiere un interruptor de aire que se compra por separado.

Quizá el previo que estuvo en mi cocina era muy ruidoso, sin embargo este modelo es completamente silencioso, fuerte, con mucha capacidad y el extra de los imanes que se sitúan para que no se cuelen cucharas o metales que pudieran echar a perder las aspas, es increíble. La entrega fue en tiempo y forma, sin embargo la caja interna (productor) venia en mal estado (rasgada y deteriorada)

The Frigidaire food disposal unit is probably a great unit except it's not compatible with the Australian 240volt power point outlets. Unfortunately I did not find this out until I received the item and saw 120volts printed on the box and power cord being completely different. This should have been made clear in the description but was not. It only stated as a corded food disposal unit.
