Tools and Hardware Reviews of Whirlaway 291 1/2 Horsepower Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Good Unit for the Price
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm on my second Whirlaway 291. The first lasted 3 years. It still functions properly but developed an odor that I can't get out. It is somewhere inside past the point where I can take the unit apart. I tried pretty much everything I possible could to get rid of the smell. Nothing worked. I didn't want to have to redo all the plumbing so I just ordered and identical unit from Amazon.
I'm trying to be more proactive in running things through it designed to keep it smelling nice. This is because mechanically this has been a great disposer. It run pretty quiet and very smooth. It handles pretty much whatever we throw at it. It's easy to remove and clean as well. I'm very happy with this disposer.
Customer Review: no problems yet

I bought this to replace a Whirlaway 191 that died. The motor was locked up. I probably wouldn't have bought another Whirlaway, but I figured that this would fit in the existing mounting bracket, and all of the other connections would be the same. I was right, and installation took less than 10 minutes (I'm not that handy, it's just that the hard work was already done). This was like $5 more than the 191 (1/3 hp) so I figured why not an extra 1/6 hp? My grandparents had a Whirlaway that lasted for years, so I figured it wasn't a big risk at ~$60. Works so far, but I don't use it all that much. I will try to remember to update this review if it ever breaks.Customer Review: Works great

I replaced my In-sinker-ator 1/3 HP badger with the Whirlaway 291 and have not been disappointed. It was relatively painless to install and has been working great. I was surprised that the jump from 1/3 HP to 1/2 HP makes such a difference. The previous disposal had problems chewing up tougher things like carrot and potato peelings, but the 291 handles it just fine. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quality budget disposal.Customer Review: A good replacement

This was a replacement for a Whirlaway191. Buying over the Internet a better deal than at a big box store as this item is an exact fit. It took a little while to fully understand the installation instructions, but that would probably happen with any similar item for a person who has never installed a disposal. I am pleased with the transaction and will recommend Amazon to anyone in similar straits.Customer Review: Works like a charm
Summary: 5 Stars
I was replacing a ten year old 1/3 HP Whirlaway that died and decided that the most important part of the process was to get another disposal that was the same physical size and had the same piping configuration. The Whirlaway 291 1/2 HP fit those perameters, it installed easily and has worked fine ever since.
