Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Initially purchased this disposer in 2018 from Walmart. It decided to start leaking in April and I was thrilled to find the same model available from Walmart.com. which made the new installation a breeze. An excellent disposer. I love the removable splash guard so easy to clean. I highly recommend this one.

Replaced GFC320F with GFC525N

Huck007 10/31/2024

I bought and installed this to replace a GE GFC320F Disposall. It was almost 15 years old and just wore out. I figured 15 years is pretty good. So I figured, I'll just get another GE disposal that is the same or similar so I don't have to re-plumb the drains under the sink.

8 Months and blades stop working??

Sweet02 10/20/2024

I replaced our GE model that had lasted over 10 years back in late February with this one. Blades stopped spinning on that one and it just hummed. I expected to have this one at least for a while. Same thing has happened just 8 months later. 1 person lives here now and I don™€™t use it that often or put things that would be too dense in it to easily grind up. So incredibly disappointing GE. Hard earned money literally down the drain.

Majic99 8/26/2023

This unit stopped working within two years, and during those two years it jammed multiple times. I have a single person household with very limited use of the disposal. Despite that it™€™s constantly jammed. I noticed that most of the comments giving this unit hi rankings focused on the installation and price from new users however, most have the same experience, I have who have had this unit beyond two years, I would never buy it again. I am in the process of replacing and may not consider the same manufacturer.

Easy to install - Great directions

Jake1313 8/18/2023

I just installed this garbage disposer. It was very easy to install. The combination of pictures and clearly written directions are much appreciated. We replaced a 20 year old GE unit and hope this one lasts as long. There are brief directions for how to use, and clean the unit. They clearly list the warranty information of one year and how to extend your warranty. It took me about 20 minutes to install. Removing the old unit took more like an hour due to difficulty loosening the sink drain. I found an easy solution by spraying DW 40 on the threads.

Had to replace after just 4 years

Trgollner 5/21/2023

We purchased our home in March if 2019, just my wife and I living in the home. We eat out often so we do not utilize the disposal often. One of the knives came off leaving the disposal useless. On the positive side I replaced it with the same model and it was a ten minutes repair. We are hoping we get more then 4 years out of this one.

BigEagle 4/26/2022

3rd disposal in 6 years. The rivets holding the blades work loose and the bottom gets all rusty. GE replaced 1st one free even though out of warranty. We just had to pay $38 to replace the 2nd one. There is definitely something wrong with the manufacture of this product.

Needed to replace my dispisal - found this and was pleasantly surprised at the way to follow instructions, quick, and easy install. I spent about 30 minutes under the sink. Most of that time was unistalling the old disposal and the install was so fast and so simple.
