Which is better 1 2 or 1 3 hp garbage disposal?
The main difference between 1/3 HP and 1/2 HP garbage disposals is their grinding power. 1/2 HP garbage disposals are better at grinding food waste than 1/3 HP models. 1/2 HP models are also less likely to jam when compared to 1/3 HP disposals.
What is a good HP for a garbage disposal?
Garbage disposals with ½ hp or ¾ hp should be adequate for the typical home. Cooks who use the disposal on a daily basis and need to grind tougher waste, including bones, may want to opt for a 1-hp model.
Whats stronger 5 8 or 3/4 HP?
3/4 HP garbage disposals have more grinding power than 5/8 HP ones, and hence they can grind tougher food wastes. If you cook only once a week, a 5/8 HP garbage disposal is the right choice. If you cook more often, a 3/4 HP garbage disposal is the one you need.
Is a 1 hp garbage disposal worth it?
Most of the 1 horsepower models are the top of the line, such as the InSinkErator’s Evolution Excel. They can end up being quieter than even the 3/4 horsepower models, thanks to better insulation. But these are great units, and if you have the room and the money, a 1 horsepower garbage disposal can be well worth it.
Is 1 2 hp garbage disposal enough?
Most manufacturers recommend at least a 1/2 HP garbage disposal motor. Because disposals with these motors are smaller than disposals with one HP motors, they can fit into relatively small spaces under your sink. Models with 1/2 HP or less should be run with plenty of cold water to help the food waste go through.
