    Why has the metal portion Corroded?
    Poorly made. Why has it corroded less than 2 years after being installed in a new build

        Good morning, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your GE Appliances continuous feed garbage disposer. We are sorry to hear that the bottom is rusted, as this is certainly not normal operation, nor the quality that we expect. We recommend referring to page 15 of the owners manual at the link below for instructions on initiating a warranty claim: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--tHIAyTEo--/d42e868f76ed5aa177007aab89d6caa1c9b43cd5.pdf?_ga=2.81073239.1178580140.1696253546-908362173.1674246354 Thank you for your review! -Devin@GEAppliances

            Smooth Operation
            After installing this product, I turned it on and it works great. Very quiet compared to the same model I had for 8 years before the motor went bad.

              Impellers break off
              I am on my third GFC520. The first two, after slightly more than 2 years, broke. In each case the impellers on the grinding plate separated. We are very careful what we grind - no bones, cut into small pieces before grinding etc. Assumed the first was an anomaly. Only bought a third since customer relations offered a $50 rebate, replacement installation is easy and maybe improvements were made in manufacture. The first two were GFC520Vs, the third is a GFC520N. The disposal function of grinding works well when impellers are in place and does not lock up. Question has the impeller issue been addressed in the new model number? I would not recommend unless there were improvements made in construction of the impeller attachments to the grinding plate.

                Super Compact
                The disposal is very compact, it fit perfectly in the kitchen design. The product works great.

                  Quiet and powerful!
                  This is our second disposal of the same model. Excellent product! Highly recommended. Included seal worked great on our cast iron sink

                    gfc520v lasted less than two years, not a good buy
                    garbage disposal didn't last two years, need to make improvements on materials to make it last

                        Works, but....
                        The unit works well, but the interior is rusted after 45 days of use. It look like it is 3 years old.

                          Have had it for 3 years and the grinding blade has come off- not a fixable part. Will have to replace

                          Hello, Thank you for writing a review on your disposer. We regret your experience. This is not what we would expect from our product. I have shared your concerns with our quality control team. We appreciate your feedback.

                            We'll see
                            This will be my 3rd one. First one lasted 15 years. 2nd one lasted 15 months! I didn't want to change the plumbing so bought it again. If this one only last a year or 2 it will be time to try another brand.

                            We are so sorry to hear that you disposer stopped working and you had to replace it multiple times. We hope that there will be an opportunity in the future to regain your trust.
                              Seized twice after very light use within 1st year
                              Had this installed in our new home with septic system. Very light use perhaps once every couple of weeks for 2-3 people. When it runs its seems efficient and quiet, however it has frozen up twice within the past year. First time we couldn’t get the motor to turn using recommended methods and reviewed some YouTube videos. Hired a plumber who was surprised to learn there isn’t way to try to manually turn it (like other disposals) by using a hex wrench. Plumber ended up taking the unit apart the first time to get it to turn and reinstalled until 2 months later it’s frozen up again. Appears to be rust in the disposal. We’re about 14 months into a new home (past warranty) and this is the only item which has failed us - twice.
