When it comes to garbage disposals, this is a good, standard ENTRY LEVEL disposal.

Higher priced models come with higher horsepower, and are MUCH quieter. I recently replaced my 12 year old 1/2 hp Badger with a nicer Evolution. Everytime I use it now I almost think it did not turn on it is so quiet.

One really nice feature for the more expensive models is the ability to remove and clean the rubber flap. On the cheaper ones they often get very gross and smelly, and are somewhat difficult to clean the underneath parts. The better ones easily come off and snap back in.

The more expensive ones are very often on sale on Amazon lightning deals, etc. I bought mine for not much more than the normal price of a Badger. They are all easy to install.

The person who lives with me sometimes refers to me as being "nasty neat" and I do have a fetish about the disposal. I have found several long thin brushes which do a good job of cleaning inside the unit and I also get my hand inside and scrub up under the rubber thingee. I do, once in a while, get the heebie jeebies that the thing will start grinding while I have my hand in there, but so far so good!
