Kenmore 60572 3/4-HP Garbage Disposal
My first clue was water on the floor of the cabinet under
the sink. It didn’t go away after I replaced the faucet (I’d have done that anyway)
– that was my second clue – so I pulled the old InSinkerator Badger, I found a hole
in the grinder chamber – on the back, naturally – and that particualr mystery was solved: another
bottom-of-the-line plumbing fixture bit the dust, no thanks to the sleazeball
who sold us this house.
Around our house we don’t use what the industry calls a food-waste disposer very often, since we compost a lot of our scraps. Every once in a while,
though, one of us finds a science experiment hidden at the back of the
refrigerator, and that’s when a disposal comes in handy. Since any house on a municipal sewer system is
expected to have one of them these days, re-plumbing without a disposer wasn’t an option.
We didn’t want to spend a lot of bucks on something we only use a time or
two a week, though, do we didn’t go looking for a “silent” model. On the other hand, we
wanted one that had a good capacity and would last for a while. After the usual
online research, I picked the Kenmore 60572.
