[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2715094, member: 26737"] I need to replace my garbage disposal, and I'm wondering what y'all recommend. I currently have an InSinkErator, and it looks like the impeller has seized--but I'm pretty sure it's at least 20 years old, and was working fine the last time I used it, so I really can't complain too much. Two things to consider on this: 1) I'm on a septic system, so I rarely put anything through it other than liquids; and 2) I'm a bachelor, so I use it very infrequently. I think it has been months, if not a year, since I last ran it... I'm sure item #2 is a contributing factor in its demise--plus, it's a two-basin sink, and I rarely use that side for anything other than holding dishes before washing them. I've seen the "septic safe" disposals that use a bottle of enzymes to help break down the food, but I use it so infrequently for so little that I don't see enough value in it to justify the cost, but... Also, the disposal is where my dishwasher (another infrequently-used appliance) connects to the waste line. I don't know if that's a universal feature of disposals these days, but its definitely a concern for me. At any rate, if you have a recommendation on garbage disposals, I would appreciate hearing it.
