Top 5 Whirlpool Garbage Disposals

Best Whirlpool Garbage Disposals Reviewed

1. Whirlpool GC1000XE

GC1000 series garbage disposals are the least powerful among those made by Whirlpool. It is powered by a 1/3Hp motor which runs at 1725RPM. Its dimensions are 6-5/16 x 11-3/8 in.

This is continuous feed-type garbage disposal with no or little sound insulation. It is covered under a limited warranty period of 1 year. Its grinding wheel and shredder ring are made of high-quality galvanized steel and it comes with a quick-mount system for easy installation.

Overall the GC1000XE is good garbage disposal for a small household. It is cheap, has enough power to process food wastes, and comes with decent features and build quality. However, I wish the warranty period was longer.

2. Whirlpool GC1000PE

The GC1000PE is very similar to the previous model GC1000XE. There is no difference between the two at first sight. but if you dig any deeper you will see that it also comes with a power cord whereas the others don’t. I am not sure why they included a power cord for only this model but it is so.

Both XE and PE models are priced similarly so I prefer the GE one if the price difference isn’t much (Once I even found a deal where the PE model is cheaper than GE.)

3. Whirlpool GC2000XE

Whirlpool GC2000XE is powered by a 0.5HP motor which is capable of disposing of most kitchen food wastes. It runs at a speed of 1725RPM just like all other whirlpool garbage disposals.

Compared with the above models its notable difference is in motor power. Though more powerful it still has the same dimensions as the previous two which are 6-5/16 x 11-3/8 in. So basically this is a more powerful version of the GC1000 models.

Quite honestly I believe that this is a better choice than the GC1000 models because the price difference between them is so small. Definitely, go for this if you were planning to buy the GC1000 models.

4. Whirlpool GC5000XE

This is the most powerful Whirlpool garbage disposal I am reviewing here. This is more powerful and bigger than the three models I reviewed before. Powered by a 3/4HP motor this disposal can process most kitchen wastes without any difficulty. It has got better looks and sports dimensions of 7-3/4 inches wide and 12-7/8 inches tall.

Compared with the other 3 the build quality of this one is better. It has Stainless steel grinding wheel and shredder ring which will last longer than the galvanized ones used in the other three disposals. It also comes with decent sound insulation and also corrosion protection shield. However, with all these better parts this product comes with only a 1-year warranty! that’s definitely a con for this garbage disposal.
