When I was growing up, these seemed to be ubiquitous and I never liked them. They seemed overcomplicated for the purpose, and created a gross and smelly area under the sink that needed more cleaning.
I haven’t had one in years, as a simple sink mesh does the same job. But I don’t really know how other people are. Are under sink garbage disposals still common, and commonly actually used by people here?
That was reassuring, thabk you. I didn’t specify, but it’s already set up for one with an under sink outlet connecting to a switch by the sink. So it shouldn’t require any new electrical work.
