Garbage Disposals and Parts (88 items found)

Having an in-sink disposal system can spare you the hassles of having to scrape plates and empty pots, pans and serving bowls into the trash. Whether you're looking to replace your current garbage disposal or want to install a trash sink disposal system for the first time, Ace can help you find the best solution for your kitchen with a diverse assortment of garbage disposals made by top-rated brands.

Continuous Vs. Batch-Feed Garbage Disposals

One of the first things to consider when shopping for garbage disposals is whether you prefer a continuous or batch-feed model. With a continuous sink garbage disposal, you can turn on the unit by running the water and flipping a switch. This type of disposal runs without interruption until you flip the switch again, making it incredibly convenient.

In homes where installing a switch is impractical, you can opt for a batch-feed waste disposal unit. To use it, you fill the disposal with food scraps and then activate it with a magnetic stopper. The disposal will then run until you remove the stopper. With the addition of the stopper, batch-feed garbage disposals prevent items from falling into the system and can help protect children and pets as well.

Features to Compare When Choosing a Sink Garbage Disposal

After you decide whether to select a batch-feed or continuous garbage disposal, compare other features to narrow down the options and choose the ideal waste disposal unit for your home.

You can compare:

• Horsepower ratings: Abbreviated as HP, horsepower is a measurement of a garbage disposal's power, and the higher the number, the more powerful the unit is. For small families and light duty clean-up, a garbage disposal with around 1/3 HP is often adequate. Large families with heavy cleanup may wish to focus on trash sink disposal models of 1 HP.
• Motor type: Induction motors are reliable and economical, while permanent magnet motors are often more energy efficient.
• Decibel ratings: Represented by the unit dB, decibels are a measurement of how loud something is. Some garbage disposals feature specialized motors or insulation to reduce noise.
• Auto-reverse functionality: Some garbage disposals have an automatic reverse mode that kicks in to clear jams, reducing the risk of backups.
• Quick mount installation: A quick-mount sink garbage disposal installs quickly with a turn-and-lock system, allowing you to tackle the job yourself.
