My daughter recently moved into an apartment. The disposal was old, loud and leaking. We
put it on the punch list of the things that needed attention and gave it to the landlord.
The disposal was replaced with a brand new (quiet) one the next day.

As they say, different strokes.


Her landlord probably realizes the more expensive unit means less
problems, making it cheapest solution in the long run.

In this house I'm on my second KitchenAid (sibling of InSinkErator) in
36 years.
