Has anyone else encountered a cracked PVC housing on one of those cheapie
disposals? I have no direct knowledge of anyone putting something like a
rock into it and running the disposal for a while so the rock kept
whacking the housing, but you never know.

ANY hard object, or even an small piece can blow out a hole or make a
crack in the outer housing, no matter how much you watch what you put in
there. I've replaced two with dime sized holes blown in them, and never
did see the offending particle.

I remember from my yoot, maybe around 1950, going to a home show with my
folks and watching a salesman demo a garbage disposer on a display table.

There was no water used, but the sales guy kept dropping glass marbles
into the running disposer and a few seconds later powdered glass came out
of the discharge tube.

Undoubtedly it was NOT a machine with a PVC upper housing back then. G

In my yoot, occasionally my Dad would put a small beer bottle down it. He
said it cleaned off the blades. It always went down. He then put a whole
lemon in there, and it took longer to eat the lemon.
