Frigidaire FF13DISPC1, 1.25 hP Corded Garbage Disposal Key Features

Grinding Performance & Motor Strength

At the heart of the FF13DISPC1 is a high-torque 1.25 HP permanent magnet motor that offers lightning-fast grinding. With 2,800 revolutions per minute, it’s engineered to reduce food scraps into fine particles quickly minimizing the chances of clogs or jams. From citrus rinds and vegetable stems to poultry bones, the unit handles them all with ease.

Thanks to the Torque Master grinding system, this model combines speed with balance, helping prevent sudden stalls or overloads even under heavy use.

Durable Construction & Stainless Steel Build

This disposal doesn’t just perform well—it’s built to last. All grinding components are made from stainless steel, which means superior corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. The 36.2-ounce grind chamber gives you ample space for continuous grinding, while the rugged design supports consistent operation without wearing down over time.

Quiet Operation & Vibration Control

Despite its powerful motor, this garbage disposal is surprisingly quiet. Frigidaire has wrapped the unit in a fully insulated sound shell, which significantly reduces both operating noise and under-sink vibration. The result? A calmer kitchen environment, even when the disposal is working at full capacity.

For homes with open floor plans or kitchens near living spaces, this low-noise performance can make a world of difference.

Easy Installation & User-Friendly Setup

One of the standout features of the FF13DISPC1 is its DIY-friendly installation. It comes with a standard 3-bolt sink mount that fits most existing flanges, and a 3-foot power cord is already attached—no need for hardwiring. Simply plug it in and get to grinding.

Weighing just under 14 pounds, the unit is light enough for one-person installation, though having an extra set of hands can help during positioning. The quick-mount system and pre-installed cord make setup faster and less intimidating, even for first-timers.

Maintenance, Safety & Odor Control

Frigidaire includes several thoughtful features to make maintenance a breeze. A removable splash guard lets you easily clean out trapped debris and check for blockages. This not only extends the life of the disposal but also helps keep your kitchen odor-free.

To further combat unwanted smells, the interior is lined with BIOSHIELD antimicrobial protection. This layer inhibits bacterial growth inside the chamber, ensuring your kitchen stays fresher, longer.

Safety wise, the Silver Guard magnetic ring acts as a protective barrier, catching stray metal objects like screws or utensils before they can enter the grinding chamber. A built-in overload protector with a manual reset button adds another layer of protection in case of accidental overuse.

Warranty & Long-Term Value

Frigidaire backs this disposal with an impressive 12-year in-home parts-and-labor warranty, along with lifetime corrosion protection. That’s a level of confidence not often seen in this category—especially at this horsepower level.

Compared to other models that max out at 5 to 10 years, the FF13DISPC1 gives you a longer lifespan and greater peace of mind, making it a smart investment for high-use kitchens.
