According to some, the less expensive the unit the louder they are also.
Considering the length of time one uses such a 
thing, I can't imagine that quietness would really be an issue.

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.

Not to drag this thread out but yesterday I talked to a friend of mine 
who just had a garbage disposal replaced by a local plumber. 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. Lee

 Not to drag this thread out but yesterday I talked to a friend of mine 
who just had a garbage disposal replaced by a local plumber.  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
