When you come to the Merc for a tour, we show you all of our favorite things. The custom wood floors, all of the potential in phase 2, our cool cabinet hardware, and this weekend we added another thing to that list. Our new Moen GX garbage disposal (video proof of Court’s obsession at the end of this post 😂). I’d never given garbage disposals much thought except in that stressful moment in the middle of the night when you can’t remember which switch on the wall is the disposal and which one is the light over the sink. But after our latest project installing a Moen GX I feel fully qualified to have an intelligent conversation all about garbage disposals.
With the GX, Moen has solved the eternal debacle, “Why do garbage disposals not come with the cord installed?” Not only that, but you have to buy extra parts, just to wire it. Not any more guys, the GX comes, just as it should, with the power cord connected.
We have an ongoing laughable but always frustrating struggle at the Merc where projects take 9x longer than they should. So when I said “we could have this thing installed in 10 minutes” I really meant an hour and 1/2. BUT GUESS WHAT?!! It only took 10 minutes!!
A few things to note, when you’re installing, make sure you pop out the plastic piece that is in the dishwasher hole. Not all sinks have dishwashers and therefore may not need the extra connection. If you do forget and connect your dishwasher hose, youre going to have a mess on your hands!
Just a heads up, you can’t overdo it with the Plumbers Putty. Whatever excess you have will ooze out and clean right off. (It’s SO satisfying as my 9 yr old would say.)
You can buy the Moen GX at Home Depot (it’s in stock at most stores!) and it’s less than $100!!
Check out our video below, It’s got flexing, the disposal being installed, Bremmer boy talking, and Court proclaiming his love over the GX over…and over….and over….😂
Huge thank you to Home Depot for sponsoring this post + video!!
