1. Powerful Performance
The GE GFC565W Disposer features a 1/2 HP motor and spins at over 2,600 RPM, making it perfect for grinding tough food scraps like meat, beans, and potato peels. Users praise its efficiency without excessive noise.

2. Easy Installation
Whether you choose the classic 3-bolt mount or the EZ Mount system, installation is straightforward. Many reviewers noted that replacing an old GE model was seamless, though some faced minor hiccups with stubborn screws.

3. Compact and Durable
Compared to other 1/2 HP disposers, this model is notably smaller yet just as powerful. Users report it lasting years without issues—some even jokingly mention it handling unexpected items like bottle caps!

4. Quiet Operation
While not whisper-quiet, the disposal is significantly quieter than older models. One reviewer appreciated that it doesn’t "shriek when empty" like their previous unit.

5. Value for Money
Priced lower than many competitors, this GE model delivers reliability without breaking the bank. Amazon shoppers particularly highlighted the cost savings compared to brick-and-mortar stores.

Caveats: A few users reported minor issues like broken parts upon delivery or unclear voltage specifications for international buyers (e.g., India). However, most agree it’s a solid choice for small to medium households.
