When I worked at Sears, people with disposals would buy the maintenance plan with their disposals. Some of these models started in the 80s and because they kept their maintenance plan in place they were able to get a replacement each time it quit working.
It's cheaper to replace one than it is to have a guy fix it. The last one I put in was a 3/4 HP model. It had a grinder inside which was pretty impressive. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lee A.

They have about a 5 year old modular home and it came with a garbage disposal. Only two senior citizens live there but the old machine went ker plunk and died. so the plumber installed what he called a heavy duty machine a bigger moter and heavy grinder. did not know they made these in different sizes. I am told the new machine only takes up a little more space and they love it.
