Hi, Joe,
We just bought a GE waste disposal. What is your opinion about its rating? Is it rated? I found nothing in the Consumer Report at the library. The one we have is leaking from where the wire connects. What do you think is the best disposal?

Hi Mirabel, 

Thanks for your note. I believe that almost all disposers sold today are made by Insinkerator. There are a lot of different brands, but the best is probably Insinkerator. The quality of the disposer depends upon the amount of money you spend on it. Prices range from $79 to $300. The cheaper it is, the poorer job it does grinding up the garbage. Cheap may mean a plumber coming over to snake out the kitchen drain.

Regards,
