  • Folks.... My take...

    A 34 HP or 12 HP garbage disposal would require 25 KW and 9 KW respectively. A disposal typically runs on a 20 AMP/110V circuit which supplies 2.2 KW. To get these HP claims would require 3 phase power typically NOT found in residential homes.

    My point, these claims are not achievable. STAY AWAY FROM THESE VENDORS THESE ARE COMMERCIAL DISPOSALS. If you need 34HP or even 12 HP to get rid of your garbage, you have bigger problems!

  • Thanks for the (probably) 170,000 others too.

  • Wow!! Thank you so much! You saved me money from buying a new one. There was no sound at all at first, so I had to push the breaker in, and got it to hum. After that did exactly what you told me...and it started working! Great video!

  • worked for me thanks...was just jammed up

  • The hex thing doesn't work for me. My disposal has a different kind of fitting on the bottom. Not sure what it is, but the fitting definitely is larger than a hex. So much for thinking all disposals were built with the same standards.

  • Thank you! We have been without a disposal for over 4 months, because I was not going to pay for another disposal. You save me money and time. My husband is so happy that I got it to work.

  • I'm so glad I found this video, saved myself $65 Thanks a lot :)

  • This video was the BEST!! I followed steps...got hex wrench to unjam, and my disposal is working great. Thanks!!!!!

  • Unnnnnnnbelievable - REALLY !? That little JAM BUSTER tool was under our sink the whole time - all I needed to do was watch this wonderful man and after having no disposer for 2 months it's now fixed !! My husband was literally on his way out the door to Home Depot when I started watching this video - saved us a hundy as well !! THANKS !!!!

  • Thanks

  • Woot saved me a hundy
