Two Famous Brands
The two famous brands those are currently popular in the appliance industry for disposers have to be Insinkerator and Waste King Disposers.
Insinkerator Compact Series
What it is
The InSinkErator Compact Series is a typical garbage disposal unit. It sits
under the kitchen sink or attach it to a
dishwasher if you wish both to use the same outlet. It can be used to grind up
leftover food trash so that it can be washed down the drain. The Evolution
Series disposers introduce new technologies, MultiGrind and SoundSeal both for
effective grinding and lesser noise.
It efficiently grinds problem foods such as celery and potato peels. SoundSeal is a combination of advanced sound insulation and anti-vibration components that reduce noise levels by 40% compared to standard disposers. As it is with kids and television we are subjected to noise pollution and now we have to be thankful we don’t have to deal with that horrid sound of the disposers any more.
Installing it
You can get it installed by yourself all you will need is some tools and if you
are not sure of your skills then a plumber will do the job for you.

Comparison between the Waste King and the ISE Disposals
Every commodity you buy comes with a price tag and if you had to pay a maintenance fee for a lifelong then it is not worth your investment. While choosing a commodity you obviously want it to run for at least a couple of years without you having to service it and run repairs. With these thoughts in mind the bigger advantage that Waste King has over ISE is the cost factor, which is a huge factor in helping to make your choice. Waste king costs less than ISE.
The ISE on the contrary has more features that make it the right choice as it has larger grind chamber and since the horse power is high it enables efficient cleaning. The opening is large and hence you can push larger pieces of chunk in them to be eliminated with ease.
However please check the warranties these companies are offering you, it is advisable any day to go for a product with a lifetime warranty.
Important Features to look out for in a Garbage Disposal:
- Determine the size of the kitchen which is in co relation to the size of your family. Every home has its own basic needs and cooking priorities, hence if you have a studio apartment you can opt for a smaller version will suffice all your cleaning needs.
- The size of the motor, it is the power house of any disposer you are going to purchase. A larger home with a large family will require a stronger motor whereas up to half of the normal horsepower motors will suffice a small house. The better the chopping speed the better are your chances that the drain won’t be clogged.
- Does it have stainless steel parts, many undermine the importance of this feature but this steel is going to prevent rust on the blades.
- The higher end features you intend to have in your disposal system. With the advances in science the only feature of it being quiet in operating mode seems mundane. Choose from the features which best suit your family.

Thanx for dropping by, appreciate the comment. I am not aware of any natural garbage disposers myself. Wrote about the two that the owner had researched while we were out of the older one in the house of london. However posting it in the request section may get interesting views.
They seem a really good idea although the Captain just dumps his garbage overboard, great hub my friend !

I use baking soda and white wine vinegar instead of harsher chemicals. Works well for the bathroom sink, but I haven't tried it in the kitchen sink, not with a garbage disposal. - 6 years ago
