Hi i'm looking at getting a new disposer for my new house.
If anyone has any reccomanditions i'd be glad to hear them.
My old unit was a waste maid.
Had a poke around and found a couple of british manufactureres.
maxmatic and tweeny (are they any good).

Just replaced my Tweeny installed in 1987 a few weeks ago, not because
it failed but because it was opportune.  The original cost 69 and the
new one 105. Good value.

(They now come with 13 amp plugs on them)

I also have a tweeny which has been going since1988. Had to replace a couple 
of seals a couple of years after it was new but has been ok since then. 
Maxmatic are also supposed to be pretty good. They now, in fact bought out 
Tweeny.

I had a Maxmatic for about 20 years until it gave up the ghost a couple of 
years ago.  I looked for a similar model but could not find a Maxmatic.  I 
finally replaced it with a "Insinkerator"  which has been working fine for 
the last couple of years.  I must admit that I preferred the Maxmatic 
though.
