excellent, safe disposal
I have been happy with this disposal. It is very safe since it is only operates with the drain cover securely covering the throat of the disposal. There is no risk for fingers to get caught unawares or for shards of food (such as bones) to unexpectently fly out. It is quiet, powerful and I have not had difficulty correctly positioning the cover to activate the switch.
performs as expected
This was part of a kitchen renovation. We have been happy with this disposal. It only operates with the drain cover securely covering the drain/disposal. There is no risk for fingers to get caught. It is quiet, powerful and no difficulty correctly positioning the cover to activate the switch after the first try.
waste king 1hp batch feed
I think a batch feed is a must if you have kids. This model operates very quiet, and has great power. The cons: It takes some time to place the activator in the correct position to turn the unit on. They need to improve on this. You don't want it to be so easy that a kid could activate it by pushing on a switch in the disposal, yet it shouldn't be so difficult that it takes more than 30 seconds.
I have never used any other manufacturer's batch models, this one may be superior to others in terms of activation.
I don't know how a buyer could test the on/off of various batch models, certainly not buying online.
On thing for sure, if you want the safest garbage disposal on the market with superior features this is it. Even an adult can take a minute or more, depending on previous experience to turn it on.
