Moen now has disposers

[Terry]

Moen now has disposers. We knew that had faucets, but this is a branch of the business that is new for them.
Their disposers use a compatiple mounting system like what Insinkerator has. The outlet for the drain is lower. So keep that in mind if you have an issue with the height of the drain from the wall. With the new deep sinks that can be an issue.

For the 1/2 HP Moen, 6-7/8" to drain
For the 1/2" HP Insinkerator, 6-0" to drain.

New products, so it will be interesting to find out what kind of animal they are.

Wow, finally something more than just Insinkerator and Waste King.

Is it made in China?
ISE and WasteKing are the best sellers in my area, but there are a handful of other manufacturers around (GE, Emerson, American Std, Whirlaway, Kitchen Aid and so on).
Customers want inexpensive, and WasteKing fits the bill. They are great for rentals too.

Most/all of those brands are made by ISE or Waste King, I think. ISE is part of Emerson...

Looks like I will need to find out more about these.

The lower end models look like waste king.

I suspect the output may be the same height as Insinkerator, since the Moen dimension 6-7/8 is to the the flange rim rather than the bottom of the sink.

Has anyone tried these Moen disposers by now?

I installed a 3/4 HP Waste King 3200 yesterday. Works quietly to the customer's approval.
The customer didn't want to pay ISE price, I offered him a WK istead, which came with longer mfg warranty.

You will find this relevant: https://consumerist.com/2017/04/12/146000-garbage-disposals-recalled-over-flying-metal-pieces/ says the Moen disposals (yes, I used that word) are made by the company that makes Waste King.

Good to know.

Okay, the homeowner did notice the clank at startup. This was an owner supplied unit.
