Wes, do you have any of the older Frigidaire models for sale? Long shot, but I wanted to ask anyway!

That is one disposer I have never seen save for patents and advertisements from the late 50s and I have some rare disposer's. I have had American standard,Caloric,Nationals,ETC. My collection is LOL huge and if there is one I have never seen before I will buy it.

  My favorite disposer's are the Old Maytag's/Waste-kings now I do have a lot of one of a kind disposers that I have never used.I have a Huge old Hotpoint Batch feed that is in the box that has the Carboloy cutter and will never use it cause I have only seen that one.I have a friend that I know probably has one cause his collection is huge hell I have 30 or so and he has many more than me but he has never found a Maytag which is a monster and will grind anything even though there only a 1/2 H.P.  nothing stops them.Pioneer even made disposers at one point.Here is a link to a old Popular mechanic  from 1959 that lists a bunch of brands that sadly are not around anymore.Also here is a old Ad for one..

i would be interested in your disposers-esp the Waste Kings.Yes,those could shred almost anything compared to the hokey new models.and the Carboloy shredder machine sounds interesting-again great performers-shreds anything!In fact large industrial shredders are using something similar to carboloy shredders in their machines.single rotor shredders-motors up to 500Hp.

Any batch feed ones? the type that u put in the food, then insert the cover to switch it on, rather than having a wall switch? I want one, but I only trust a batch feed. (personal hangup/fear)

No  those went fast I have one vintage 1970s induction motor Hotpoint with that Carboloy cutter in it and I am keeping that cause that is the only one I have ever seen of the induction G.E./Hotpoint .People like those batch feeds and they go fast very fast for some

reason. I don't care for them to much because. I am  so hard on my disposer's, everything goes down mine I would be wear out the switch on it and then have to make it a continuous feed.I am using a new 1978 Maytag FC-10 right now and they are the best or close to the best nothing jams them and there only 1/2 H.P.

You probably don't have any more of the Maytags for sell do you, Wes? These are my favorites, too,. as are the Waste Kings by Universal.

Any Hobart KitchenAids with the Wham-Jam feature?

 

[tolivac]

for me batch feeders are what I would install-to replace one thats blown-ISE17.Beleive thats the number on it.and would like a model that has the undercutters.the plumbing in my place is pretty lousy.

Dan, I have a Viking 1hp, of the Hobart KA design, in my sink right now. This was produced before Viking contracted Insinkerator, a few years ago, to make them. So what I have is virtually identical to a KA WhamJammer models, only with a stronger motor.

They are fun. I love to cram it full to the point where the autreverse kicks to keep it from jamming. It is the best auatoreverse I have seen in a disposer. You almost don't even notice it stop and reverse, it happens so fast. There are few times I have had to use the Wham-Jam feature because it rarely ever jams.

The downside, it has a chamber smaller than most, on the non-batch feed model. It doesn't grind pork chop bones, watermelon rinds, or corn cobs nearly as fast as a series-wound GE. But it is still quite a good machine overall. And HEAVY, it's difficult to even lift it to mount it on the flange.

The real down side are pits, like peach pits, etc. They bounce around in the hopper and make noise forever, like in an Insinkerator. The GE series is the only disposer I ever had or any brand that rids of pits completely within seconds. With the Carbaloy cutter and the warp speed flywheel, it more or less slices things istantly rather than trying to grind, and wear hard items down, on a shredder ring.

Like Wes, I love the older Maytags, like the FC10 and FC20. They are much better than Insinkerators on pits and bones. It takes an act of Congress to jam an original Maytag! Quiet too. Nothing like them ever made.

Also like Wes, it's hard to beat an original Waste King by Universal (not the new Annaheim made stuff.) The Waste King gets my #2 vote, after Maytag, for the disposers that can do everything well and not create a lot of noise doing it. Just all arouund great machines.

The GE series is my utmost favorite BUT, I have a cheap stainless sink and with a series wound motor running at 8000 rpm, its like having a vacuum cleaner attached to the underside of your sink and the sheet metal resonates with it. So you a VERY loud coupled system!

When I had a heavy, heavy ceramic sink years ago, the series GE was ideal because there was so much mass the disposer couldn't vibrate it and it only sounded like a subdued vacuum cleaner, ha. The absolute fastest on chicken bones, pork chops bones and fruit pits.
