What is this nonsense?

Does anyone have a "stinky" garbage disposal...like...do you not always use water, flush it, run it a bit- run some lemon peel in it etc.? do we need a "non UV" UV light in the thing?

I clean the bacjside of the rubber thing in the sink, then squirt a bunch of dish soap in it and run water as it is running. Keeps them clean.

Yeah I am thinking this is a feature that is not really useful but a real gimmick - I use mine for a lot of stuff, but I use it properly, always with water running- letting it go after its "done" putting dish-soap in it and letting it get all super bubble - and orange/lemon peel every now and then is nice.

The disposal I first had was a badger from the first owner, who knows how old the thing was and I had it a good 5/6 years and it didn't stink... no little purple light is going to keep something truly rotten from smelling in there..


The insinkerators seem to be the good standard still for best of class, they have stainless bottom ones now... the fully stainless industrial ones are 1500$+ so...yeah not them.

Based on this thread we picked up this one for $70 last year, a couple years ago? Has worked just fine. I looked at some of the much larger badgers and have picked one of those for our new home build, but for this house I plopped this in and it has been 100% great:

Yup. that's what I have, its been great works well, the floppy drain cover is a little tight vs the badger but its no real issue.. glad to see its price is still good- its really a great product for its price compared to any other "entry" model.

That thing is 1/2 HP - stainless steel inside grinding area, external jam button, easy mount, plug or hardwire (i.e. cut and strip) etc. for 70$ -- equivalent was $200ish at HD/Lowes

Yeah, the drain cover is definitely tight, I can remember after putting it in the water drained real slow at first.
