ace garbage disposal cracked and leaking.. recommend me a new one

I recommend doing away with it to be honest.

I had to replace mine about a year or so ago..

I bought the best rated garbage disposal on Consumer Reports

Waste King 3300 is what I got....very effective...very good...

If you must buy one choose one with the shaft that can be cranked from the bottom with the included wrench otherwise when it jams it's done.

Also 3/4 hp disposals are smoother and quieter than the cheap smaller ones. Don't go too large if you have an under mount sink.

You really should consider doing away with it anyway. They only lead to potential trouble and lost money in the end.

If you have cast iron drain lines in the slab or wall owning one may be one of the biggest mistake you make in this lifetime. The acids from food particles rot away the bottom of cast iron drain lines.

just installed the Badger 10 a couple of weeks ago. mind was leaking from the bottom not the top where it sealed to the sink, so I was able to keep the same seal and bracket and just change out the unit.

Badger is a legit option.

In the end it comes down to how much do you want to pay to stop your own kitchen sink drain up.

I don't put a lot of heavy stuff down my disposal. usually just soft stuff like beans. anything like left over meat or heavy veggies, etc.. goes in the garbage can

I've never heard this. I have had 2 disposals in 12 years at this house and other than the ace breaking down have never had any issues with clogs.

One made of stainless.
