This was the lowest-priced disposer at my local home improvement store. It's plenty powerful and quiet, probably because of the plastic housing and flexy rubber mounting ring. Time will tell on durability of the plastic grinding chamber - at least it won't rust! GE's mounting system is excellent, fast and secure and allows for easy alignment to trap. Finish on stainless sink flange is very nice, especially for a low-price model. Only drawback is not in product, but in sparsity of wiring directions. First-timers would be well-advised to ask the home store electrical guys what they need and how to hook up. For replacement jobs or the experienced, should be no prob.

Overall, a best buy.
