Dull or rusted blades mean that your disposal may sound like it is
working but it's not. The number one cause of kitchen singk clogs is
old disposals.

Without sharp blades or blades at all, the food you put down there
simply goes right into the drain, causing potential for future
stoppage. *

A simple test for most disposals is to take a flashlight and look down
into it. *Do you see rust and corrosion? *Can you see any blades?"

This is part of a column in a local magazine, written by a plumber,

Load of crap. My builder grade one quite after 10 years or so.
Nothing was wrong with the macerator, the motor quit. Disposals don't
have anything particularly sharp in them, they just beat the food to a
pulp..
