What Is the Right Size Garbage Disposal for Me?

When deciding on the right size garbage disposal, you need to ask yourself three questions:
How much am I willing to pay?
How much available space do I have under my sink?
What size is my family/household?
To calculate how much space is available, measure the length, height, and width of the space under your sink. Depending on the grinding power, disposal units can take up quite a bit of space.
what size garbage disposal to pick
You also need to estimate how much grinding power you will require. This depends on how many people live in your home and how often they need to use it. For example, if they are often not at home, they will not need to use the unit as much. The following guidelines are typically useful for determining which size and grinding power you will need.
1. If just 1-2 people, a disposal with 1/3 or 1/2 HP (horsepower) would serve your needs.
2. If your family is 3-6 people, 1/2 or 3/4 HP is recommended.
For 5-8 people family, 3/4 HP is the minimum size; however, 1 HP is highly recommended.
3. If you have more than 8 people living in your home, 1 HP is suggested.
4. 2 HP motors are available, but they are typically restaurant grade and can only be purchased from restaurant supply vendors.
While your personal needs may vary, these are general suggestions based on how much garbage disposals are used on average per person.
