I have one...very easy to install. It replaced a 2004 Waste King disposer that separated in the throat area....what a mess it made under my sink to put it mildly....I have been very happy with it so far..they are quiet as well. I wanted an ISE one but under my sink and where the drain hole is to my sink, none would fit right. So we went with Moen.
I sell them. They are nice.
Home Depot sells them.When my drain plumbing was redone they put a Moen disposal in to replace a long non-functional ISE one-from 1972.Been happy with the Moen-its eats any food waste thrown in it!
This is a pic of the sink I have. We liked the fact that it gives more room and under the sink area...but it limits us to what we can use because of the plumbing underneath.

I've been using "Titan" disposers, made in China, purchased at deep discount at Costco. One lasted about 20 years. I think is was .75 hp. I replaced it a year or two ago with another, 1.25 hp, which is running well. It's a T-1060. It's quiet and runs well. No complaints. Cost was about $80 at Costco.
These disposers are made by Joneco Corporation, and are sold under a number of brands, including "Waste Maid". Seems to me I've seen American Standard labeled disposers are are the same at the Titan T-1060. I believe I've seen "Joneca" on the boxes.

Best food waste disposers
The single most important thing is to buy models with SS grind components, These cheap models with galvanized grinding components wear very quickly having a large gap around the turntable which allows large items like strips of potato peels to pass through and clog your drains.
These small high RPM models also have small capacity and are not well suited for grinding lots of bones or just large loads of food if you are doing any serious canning or quantity cooking.
We do a lot more service calls on these hi RPM disposers because they are very hard for users to unjam because of the lack of a self-service unjamming wrench.
When you get into the upper end models nothing comes close to the In-Sink-Erator built disposers, they are quiet fast and longed lived without the cheap to build small hi speed motors and best of all ISE disposers are built in the US.

Well, I don't care to put bones down the disposer. Instead they go in a resealable plastic bag in the freezer for making bone broth. Any bones left either go in the trash or the compost pile.
The Joneca/Titan/American Standard garbage disposers are high speed, but the also have all stainless grinding components. To keep them clean I occasionally put a handful of orange peels down them. Works for me!
