Simple to install
I'm not sure why you need 3/4 or 1 hp garbage disposals, (are you grinding tree limbs?). We went with MOEN since the other brand offered by the hardware store was the same brand that I was replacing after 2 years. I'd have given it 5 stars, but the pre-wired cord was 3" too short and I had to create a 12" extension cord so I could secure the ends.

Great Power
I just bought this disposal over the weekend and it was easy to install and seems to have great power. I haven't had much of a chance to use it yet, but when I have it was awesome!

Just installed unit, no clue how long it will last
My last disposal, BADGER 5, rusted through and shorted out after 5 years. This unit by Moen says it is "ALL stainless steel, so we will see how long it will last. It is priced well in the market. Must lighter than the Badger and definitely quieter. This doesn't mean anything because it is under the sink, but it is SEXY, lol.

Great value
We recently bought and installed this new garbage disposal by Moen. The price and quality was better than a competing model, thus the choice of this product.

I just installed one and when you first turn it on with nothing in it it makes a initial clicking noise when starting up is this normal?
Hello jim123 and thank you for your interest in Moen products. The clicking noise that you are referring to are the impellers positioning on the turntable each time you turn the disposal on. Yes, this is completely normal for Moen’s GX Series 1/2 horsepower garbage disposal.

When I turn on my disposal, it just hums
Hello Richardsamson. From your description it sounds like the product may be jammed. To unjam the unit you first need to shut off its power. Depending on your model and wiring configuration you can unplug the power cord from the wall or turn the breaker box switch to the off position. Next, remove the stopper and/or splashguard. Check to see if the turntable will rotate freely by using a wooden broom or mop handle. Place the handle down the disposer and use one of the two impellers to put force on the turntable. Keep in mind it is not the impellers that need to be moving freely, you are just using the impellers to put force onto the turntable. If the turntable rotates freely, replace splashguard and check the reset button to see if it has been tripped. Push the button in until it clicks and remains depressed. If reset button has not been tripped, check for a short or broken wire connection to the disposer, electrical power switch, fuse box, or circuit breaker. If the wiring and electrical components are intact, the unit may have internal problems that require service or replacement. Let us know if you need more assistance with this. 1-800-BUY-MOEN.
