Customer Ratings & Reviews

A few months ago, I purchased the Smart Choice 1/2HP Corded Garbage Disposal in white. I wasn't using it for my kitchen, but instead to build a DIY margarita machine. It absolutely does the trick in crushing the ice and keeping the drinks mixed well. Two thumbs up from me!

It's an excellent disposal. It's tiny, but powerful.

The replacement garbage disposal is quiet and efficient.

I’m glad I saved a few bucks on this over the usual go-to brands. It is smaller, easy installation, and available.

Had this installed in my new kitchen works great! Compact doesn't take up space.

Quiet, functional, nice, easy, and great..........

Great replacement for my old disposal. Works great and no problems thus far

Works as a disposal should. Quiet a n d quick on the job.

A good product and does what it’s suppose to do. No issues.

It works fine. It was easy to buy and install. Product was in store, no waiting.

No issues, does the job. Easy to use, flip if the switch and it’s a go

Easy to install and works well. Power cord too short for my outlet but easy fix.

I like this product because it wouldn't rust out. It's made out of a hard plastic mold that won't never rust. The others are made out of metal and over time they rust out.

Great service when installed the installer wasvvery professional.

The guy kicks butt, very pleased. Service was outstanding as always

Is the best garbage disposal that I have for my new kitchen……………

it works. Person putting it in didn't know how. bad stuff

Item has not yet been installed as it was unavailable for delivery on the scheduled date. New installation date is March 1st. Item was delivered and I have read the instruction manual which is well written and very informative. Once it is installed I will gladly write an additional review.

Great Courteous service. install went well . its small, works well, but I should have bought a larger one, it fills up to quickly & water goes down very slowly

I was surprised at just how light the Smart Choice 1/2HP Corded Garbage Disposal really is. But after opening the box, installing it, and then using it, I discovered the disposal is much more durable than the weight led me to believe. But I don't want to get ahead of myself, so let me go back to the beginning of my experience with this disposal. Unpacking the unit was as simple as opening the box and removing the unit. It was well packed for shipping, and arrived with no noticeable damage. As I lifted it from its packaging, that was when I noticed how light it seemed, and yet at the same time, it felt as though it was made quite well, and with quality products. There wasn't much to unpacking the unit actually. Like I said, just opening the box and lifting it out. I then read through the user's manual that came with the disposal. It is written in several different languages...English, Spanish, and French. For the most part, the manual covered most of the situations one might encounter when installing a new disposal. How to remove the old disposal, how to install if you have a dishwasher, and so forth. There were some huge deficiencies, however. For one, (and this might not be an issue to anyone else) but nowhere in the instructions or on the product box itself does it give any indication just what tools will be needed to install the unit. Further, it is only when reading through the instructions that I discovered I needed plumbing putty in order to properly install the disposal. Thankfully the hardware store is not that far away from my house, and in no time I was ready to actually begin the installation process. As far as the tools go, a screwdriver is about the only real tool needed. All the piping can be tightened well enough simply by hand. Some folks might high-brow this next statement, but a second issue I noticed is that nowhere does it say in either the manual or on the box that in order to use this unit you must have a switch already installed to turn the garbage disposal on and off. One of my first thoughts before ordering the disposal was that it must be "automatic" since it is corded. And that was one of the first questions my aunt asked when I told her about the new disposal..."How does it turn on?" Quite fortunately I actually have a switch for a disposal, even though I did not have a disposal. So, in order to install, you need a screwdriver, plumbers' putty, and an already-installed disposal switch (unless you are willing to pay someone to install one for you). Following the instructions, installing the garbage disposal was actually quite easy and straightforward. In well less than one hour I had it installed and ready to use. Since it was now dinner time, I knew it would be soon that I would have the chance to put the disposal to the test. I did turn it on, however, and it worked just fine. It isn't nearly as noisy an I expected, and I was actually impressed by just how quiet the unit really is. Now, it isn't silent, and yes, you can hear it in the next room, but it is not annoying. After dinner, I started with the "easy" stuff...vegetables, fruits, bread. It worked flawlessly. I then decided to throw a few chicken bones into the mix. I wasn't sure what to expect, but again, in no time at all, the Smart Choice disposal absolutely chewed them up and disposed of them down the drain. I have never felt comfortable putting any bones other than chicken bones down a disposal, and even though the product literature says the unit can handle other bones, I just wasn't going to take the risk and ruin a great little garbage disposal. Don't get me wrong...as easily as it handled the chicken bones, I feel quite confident that it could handle pork and beef bones with no issues, up to a point. And besides, I am not about to deny my furry dog children of one of their favorite treats! All in all, the unit is a great little disposal. I like the fact that it gives people a choice to purchase a unit that isn't industrial or designed for larger families. I also like that it is relatively quiet, and that it comes with a wonderful stopper to keep objects from falling down into the disposal. I wasn't pleased with the lack of some vital information in the product literature that I felt should have been included, and that is the sole reason for the 4-star rating rather than a 5-star. This is a unit I highly recommend. The price is absolutely affordable, and the quality is great. And again, I would highly recommend the Smart Choice 1/2HP Corded Garbage Disposal to my friends and family.
