General Electric Garbage Disposal Reviews

GFC320V garbage disposal is the least powerful among the four disposals I have reviewed. It is powered by a 1/3HP permanent magnet motor running at 2500RPM. Compared with other popular models by manufacturers like Waste King or InSinkErator the GE garbage disposals are really high-speed. It is an indicator of how fast it can grind food wastes into pulp. High-speed motors also help in reducing jams.

This disposer can process up to 27 ounces of food waste at a time, nevertheless, this is continuous feed disposal so the chamber capacity doesn’t really matter unless you plan to add large chunks of food together. It is compact in size and the EZ Mount installation makes it easier to set it up.

It doesn’t have any special noise insulation technology but that’s justifiable by its price tag. It comes with a limited warranty of 1 year which I wish were longer.

GFC520V garbage disposal is a powerful version of the 320V model with the exact same dimensions and chamber capacity. It is equipped with a 1/2 HP motor capable of running at 2800 RPM. The only other difference between this and the 320V model is the warranty period; which is 2 years.

Both models are priced very close so if I were to choose between GFC520V and GFC320V I would go for the former.

GFC530V garbage disposal is a lot different from the GFC520V model. The only notable similarity between them is that both use the same motor; 1/2 HP, 2800 RPM.

The GFC530V disposer is bigger with dimensions of 7.75 x 13.44 inches and has a chamber capacity of 31oz. It has a better build quality and uses Stainless Steel grinding components which last longer than the galvanized ones.

‘Sound Reduction Technology’ makes it quieter than the above two models. This garbage disposer comes with a 3-year warranty. Definitely, this is a little more costly than the other two models but if you have the budget don’t forget to add this to your list.

This is the most powerful garbage disposal by General Electric in this review. The GFC720V is powered by a 3/4HP permanent magnet motor and achieves a speed of 3100 RPM; the fastest I ever reviewed.

This disposal is bigger in size with 8.5 x 14.5 inches in dimension and 34oz in chamber capacity. Its build quality is as good as the 530V model with Stainless steel grinding components and a corrosion-resistant grinding chamber. It is covered under a 5-year warranty.
