Maytag FC10 disposer

[qsd-dan]

Looks like a vintage one from the 70's. It's claimed to be new but has a few marks on the casing. Are these any good?

Wow! 1 day to go and it's up to $155!!! Makes me want to go up in the attic and get my old one out, clean it up and sell it.

Don't you have the sink flange, Jeff? I thought you had one.

for a Maytag?

Nope, I have some extras, but alas not one for a Maytag.

I do have the splash guard though!

I've been using this model for decades. Just pop a new shredder ring in and it's about as good as new. I've got the foam shroud that cut noise quite a bit.

I've had mine for 17 years without any problems. I purchased it new so the one pictured may only be half as old as you think it is. If you can find a flange for it, it's worth going after.

Yea that thing cost me 320 Bucks I knew it would cost me a arm and a leg and that sucks sence I only have one leg (stay away from Mossberg 12 gauges)I am not worried about the Flange cause I have a Perrless/Wasteking disposer flange that I think will fit.I bought that disposer and when I got it I was shocked at how light it was it was a display model with no guts in it.I have been trying to get a Maytag for YEARS and 320 bucks is good last time it was alot higher.

I really got a deal on mine then. It looked like a white elephant item shoved on a low shelf at the place I bought my KA dishwasher. 17 years ago the Maytag cost all of $29.

Thanks Alot Rub it in LOL.I have been looking everywhere for one of these for such a long time.I rember years ago when I was about 10 my Parents took us Kids to the Maytag place to get a Dishwasher they bought one of thoese Belt Drive Jobs I rember seeing I think Florlence Henderson on Paper about the dishwasher I have a Photographic Memory.I didnt care about the dishwasher cause I wanted them to get the Kitchenaid it had the Hardfood disposer this was in 86 I think and the Maytag didnt at all.I saw the disposers they had which was my thing I saw the Maytag and eating Nails demo and was hooked they had one took apart and that thing is like a Tank I begged them to get one but you know parents they were spending 500 bucks on a dishwasher and they were not even going to get a disposer on top of that.These were they Days when Maytag were some of the best made out there unlike today where everything is made to fall apart.I did finally talk them into a disposer the next year it was a Emerson E-100 it was pretty good had the Diamond-ni hard grind ring and it said plus power on it.I think it was a 1/2 Hp that disposer lasted about 10 years then in stopped up are lines all the time.My best friends Mom had a Maytag that was 20 years old and still worked great and it has took me this long to finally to snag one.
