Evergrind E202 1/2 HP vs GE Disposall Green 1/2 HP Garbage Disposal Side-by-Side Comparison
Overall Verdict
The GE Disposall Green 1/2 HP is a clear winner between it and the Emerson Evergrind E202 1/2 HP. It’s not just because the Disposall Green is arguably the best small garbage disposal we’ve tested, but it’s also because the Emerson E202 is a poorly-made product that failed our evaluation process miserably. And by miserably, we mean overheating and short-circuiting more than once.
During the final run of the standard test, which focuses on the machines’ ability to deal with random foods, the Emerson E202 shut down due to its motor’s rising temperature. When it was the Disposall Green’s turn, it was such a breeze that it took us some time to fully internalize what this little 1/2-hp unit had just delivered: a new bar. It could even process raw meat scrap to an extent, outperforming several units with stronger motors.
The Disposall Green, with its ability to yield output quality comparable to that of larger models, put the likes of the Emerson Evergrind E202—even induction disposals, in general—far in the back of the market. All that, and the two products cost roughly the same, usually with a $20 gap.
We simply don’t recommend the Emerson Evergrind E202 1/2 HP simply because for the same amount of cash, there are several cheaper and better alternatives. The Disposall Green may cost up to $150, which can be a turn-off for a lot of people, but know that there are reasons for that price.
