Kraus WasteGuard
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Moen Host Series GXB75C is a compact garbage disposal featuring SoundSHIELD insulation and a Universal Xpress Mount for easy installation. Its galvanized steel components are a potential durability concern compared to stainless steel models. It is best suited for homeowners seeking a compact disposal with plug-in power options.
The Kraus WasteGuard is a 1/2 HP continuous-feed garbage disposal featuring a high-speed permanent-magnet motor designed for efficient residential food waste grinding. It incorporates noise-reduction technologies and a stainless steel grinding chamber, though it requires a separately purchased switch and has a smaller capacity. Best suited for regular home cooks and DIY installers seeking quiet operation in open-concept kitchens.
