Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’m 48, fairly handy and have been a home owner for over 20 years. Yet somehow this is the first disposal I have ever replaced. I watched a couple of short youtube videos and looked at the installation guide. It was pretty easy to swap out with my old one. I think I was expecting it to be harder. By far the hardest part was just getting in place, in a tight spot under the sink. On a scale of 1-10, it felt like maybe a 3 or 4 on difficulty. If you fancy yourself a handy person at all, I suspect installation will be a breeze. The whole thing took just over an hour and that included cleaning out everything under the sink to start. Now onto the disposal itself, how does it handle its job? Wonderfully! It’s lighter, quieter and more powerful than my old unit. My previous disposal still worked but really had started to show signs of wear and tear. So maybe my old one was exceptionally loud, but it really is night and day difference here. Though I do think this new one is noticeably quieter than my old was ever was. It is also definitely lighter than my old one as well, but not in a “cheap” feeling way. It looks and feels well engineered and constructed. Lastly we have power, is it weird that I want to eat more chicken just to throw more bones down this thing? It ground up everything I tossed its way, but nothing more impressive than the bones it pulverized. Not much else to say, at this point it’s about durability. It looks and feels solid and has a 4 year warranty and a life time guarantee against corrosion. If you are replacing an existing disposal make sure your old one plugs in and has a switch up above. I know most, but not all are installed that way. In that instance this is going to be a fairly quick and easy install. I would absolutely recommend this to a friend.

Stylish, and functions well. Little noisy, but gets the job done.

The intsallation team was very good and they kept me posted on status and came on time.

Works good, doesn't leak. Not much else to say- it's a garbage disposal.

Works well! Looks nice under the sink too. I highly recommend it.

This was purchased for a remodel of kitchen sink with no disposal

This diaposal unit is a slim model, however it comes with attachments that allow it to replace a regularsize garbage dusposal without changing the existing plumbing. i had geeksquad install it and the thing works well and takes less space. This is warrantied for 6 years compared to other brands which vary from 2-4 years.

A great value and seems like a good product for the price.

The nice white color convinced to the tube and the smart funcional items make everything work nice

Easy installation works well satisfied customerwould recommend tk a friend

Perfect replacement for the old one we had. Though, it has a leak. I don't know how to repair it?

The Smart Choice 1/2HP Corded Garbage Disposal - White arrived just in time to replace my 10+ year old in sink garbage disposal. It is smaller and quieter than my old one and works great at grinding good, small bones, ice cubes and other kitchen detritus. The unit is only 12 7/8 inches high/long, weighs 5.2 pounds and runs at 2600 rpms. The disposal comes with a 3-bolt mounting system and is easy to install once the old disposal is out. The Smart Choice disposal has a lifetime corrosion warranty, is corded and has a and includes a stainless steel Torque Master grinding system. It also has an overall 6 year warranty. The Smart Choice 1/2HP Corded Garbage Disposal is priced right, has a very good warranty, runs quietly and is well designed. Note that this disposal does not come with a counter top air switch to turn it on/off. I was able to use the existing switch and button but wanted a new button to replace one that is showing visible wear. New ones are available but add another $25-30.00 to the total cost.

Haven’t got my yet , they will bring it Monday to install it

Not as strong as I had hoped, works ok, not impressed

This isn't a bad product, it certainly does the job, however, there must have been a mis-step when it got installed because the water won't drain from the sink/basin unless we turn it on. We will have it looked at by someone to see what the issue is.

The store employee said this could be connected to a non plug in system. Could not be installed. Exchanged for a different model

Descent product, terrible install by the TotalTech team. After the install left our pipes leaked for over a month. Called BestBuy 3-4 times to get them to come back out and it was nearly impossible to get another appointment set for them to correct their first install. The installers spoke Spanish and didn't think I did so I could hear them saying that they broke one of the pieces.

Do not recommend this product. I had it for a little over a year and it broke. Best Buy was not helpful and it is hard to find warranty information. I suggest you get a different product.

I had a 2 year old garbage disposal in my kitchen. It wasn't old. It was a name brand and still worked, but it was loud. I had a chance to get this disposal and leapt at the chance. The whole process, including removing the old disposal took less than 30 minutes. It actually took me longer to remove the old one and clean up the sink than to install this new Smart Choice Garbage Disposal. It's a simple process if you are replacing an existing disposal. Start by turning off the power to the existing disposal and unplug it. disconnect the hose connected to your dishwasher, if you have one, then disconnect the pipe connected to the disposal. Turn the lower mount ring to disconnect the disposal from the sink. Loosen the 3 screws in the mounting sleeve then remove the spring clip on the sink flange. You can now remove the flange from the sink. Clean the sink before continuing. Place the splash guard inside the new sink flange and put some plumber's putty on the underside of the new flange. (Plumber's putty is not included with the unit.) Insert the flange into the opening of the sink and place as heavy object on it. From underneath, slide on the fiber gasket and the support flange. Install the new spring clip into the groove on the flange then slide on the upper mounting ring then install the spring clip in the groove of the sink flange. Install the three mounting screws in the upper mounting ring and tighten until everyth9ng is stationary and the flange will no longer turn. Install the cushion ring and tighten the lower mounting ring. If you have a dish washer attached, remove the knockout from the disposal. Lift the disposal into place and turn the mounting ring to connect it to the disposal. Reattach the dishwasher hose if you have one then reconnect the pipe to the disposal, using the supplied pieces. test for leaks then plug it in and turn the power back on. The whole process is covered in the manual along with pictures so you shouldn't have any difficulty installing it on your own. As I said, the entire process took under 30 minutes, including the time it took for me to gather my tools and clean up. I was pleasantly surprised that the Smart Choice disposal was much quieter than my previous name brand disposal ever was. It does a good job of chopping up any waste you put in it and it does it quietly. The only thing that would have made it nicer was if they had included some plumbers putty with the unit. Luckily I still had some from my previous install. I'm glad I made the change and highly recommend the Smart Choice Corded Garbage Disposal.

Purchased this item with gift card earned when buying full appliance package. Pretty happy about that! This was just what I needed.
