Genuine GE GFC520N Garbage Disposal

Removal of the old disposal was a challenge but the new one was easy to install. I would recommend using plumbers putty to ensure no leaks. Thanks again

It was easy to install. It was my first time installing a garbage disposal. The rubber gasket was a little difficult but I did it. It recently froze up but I hit the reset button on the side and it's working again. Thanks

Easy to install, although the previous one was a nightmare to remove because of excess plumber putty placed by the previous plumber resulting in having to saw off the sink flange

Product is nice and less noice. But installation took time as didn't come default wiring with plug. I had ended up taken out wire from existing erator and attached to new one.

Easy to install. Directions are clear. I just installed it, but it is relatively quiet and seems to do a great job. Small footprint, and all the pieces I needed were in the box. I am replacing my old GE disposAll that lasted 20 years.

the power is good and the ease of installation was easy ,it grinds the food and the capacity of food taken is great .However i don't like how loud the disposal is.

I have just replaced the 2nd of the GFC520V series Garbage DisposAll units. They worked fine for about 3 years, and both have failed the same way. The cutters let loose because of wear and tear on them and the rivets that hold them in place. I have replaced the latest with a GFC520N only because of the ease in swapping it out. (no messing with the mounting hardware). Maybe the cutters and rivets should be of a harder wearing material

I am on my third GFC520. The first two, after slightly more than 2 years, broke. In each case the impellers on the grinding plate separated. We are very careful what we grind - no bones, cut into small pieces before grinding etc. Assumed the first was an anomaly. Only bought a third since customer relations offered a $50 rebate, replacement installation is easy and maybe improvements were made in manufacture. The first two were GFC520Vs, the third is a GFC520N. The disposal function of grinding works well when impellers are in place and does not lock up. Question has the impeller issue been addressed in the new model number? I would not recommend unless there were improvements made in construction of the impeller attachments to the grinding plate.

VERY NOISY. WHEN RUNNING IT, THE WATER BACKS UP BECAUSE THE RUBBER GASKET IS TOO HARD TO ALLOW THE WATER TO OPEN IT LIKE ANOTHER BRAND. IT TAKES A LONGER TIME TO GRIND UP BONES AND CITRUS RINDS COMPARED TO ANOTHER BRAND I HAVE USED.. YOUR ENGINEERS NEED TO MAKE THIS MORE EFFICIENT AND QUIETER. I GOT THIS DISPOSAL IN A NEW HOUSE AND WILL PROBABLY REPLACE IT SOON.

I've gone through 2 of these in almost 8 years! We've lived in our house for 7 1/2 years. The first one was installed by the builder and lasted about 3 years until the motor died. I replaced with the same model because it was the easiest option to reinstall. This one lasted until last week when the blades jammed and sheared off the center bolt they spin around! We're not putting bones or dense foods down there. Of course the warranty on this model is only 2 years. They want you to have to buy another! I'm not going to even let you get a 3rd strike GE. Done!
