1/2 vs 3/4 horse power
282559
I'm not sure what your question is here. If you're asking whether you should go with 1/2 or 3/4 HP, I think the answer is "it depends". If you're in the habit of routinely loading up the disposer with all sorts of waste and expecting it to handle it, the 3/4 HP or even 1 HP model is a better choice. On the other hand, you really should never load up a disposer like this and should not discard larger solids through the disposer anyway. The disposer itself may be able to handle large amounts of solid waste, but your drain pipes won't like it and you're very likely to have flow problems and/or blockages over time if you use your disposer this way.

I wanna say it's a 3/4 horse but I didn't keep the box so I don't truly know the horsepower

1/4 hp is only about 190 W. So, it might be able to power one...but I wouldn't expect you to be able to achieve a very fast speed. 1W = N(m/s). You'd probably want something in the multiple-horsepower range.Also, what the other comments said about it being an AC motor.

I installed one 3/4 with 3/4 tee, then bushes it down to two 1/2, but I have not tried it yet, still working on the bathroom. There was one review stating that 1/2" worked fine.

It is 1.5 HP. 1-0.5 is just another way of expressing the same number, just as is 1-1/2.

Both are good, it just depends on what your socket sizes are. I own the 3/8 with a 3/8 impact set and it's quite powerful on it's own. The 3/8 is all around a versatile tool that will get most, if not all, of your tasks done.

The 3/8" unit is more accurate in the lower range that the 1/2" unit. However, both units are more accurate in their mid and upper ranges than their lower ranges--but still pretty fair. Use the unit you buy to test and adjust your wrench, then use the wrench. Accuracy is more critical on parts such as engine heads, main caps, connecting rod caps, etc. So, keep this in mind.

The 14S (as well as 14SW and 14SC) has a 1-HP motor, (not 1/2 HP mentioned in the previous answer to this question).

I don't know what the Horse Power is on your Well motor, but I'm sure it isn't more then the generators output. If your well motor is less then 20 amps you won't have any problems. I know you read my review on this generator, and this generator is a good unit, but I really recommend the Champion Power Equipment 46533 it's a little bit more money, but me and my coworkers think it's worth the difference. It's only $50 dollars more, but if you don't have the extra cash then this one will work fine. Don't for get to use synthetic oil! You really don't need any special equip, just make sure you have a extenuation cord that plugs into the generator. Good Luck on your project.

My wife and I agree that up to 4.5 would be ok. We bought this for our new grandson who will be two in May 2014.He's just getting used to it. He feeds it and combs his mane but doesn't ride it yet. Our son and sister were on his horse until about 4.5 yeas old. They loved it. Hope this helps. Bob

I have only seen slight improvement not mpg, maybe 3-4 mpg more. The big improvement comes from horse power and torque.

Only owning the 400, I can not make the comparison, but the rpm and power is noticeably different between the 1 and 2 setting. You can see it rotate faster, hear the change in pitch, and see the results on particularly thick or stubborn grass/weeds/etc. Having tried this out as a possible substitution for my Poulan Pro gas trimmer, I never plan to go back to gas (keep in mind I have only a small subdivision lot (~6100sqft) with a privacy fence and multiple landscape areas). I enjoy not having to maintain, keep track of, or charge multiple batteries. The 400 is a sweet piece of equipment.

3/8" is far more versatile than 1/2". 1/2" is more for really heavy duty work. The 3/8" version of this tool was powerful enough to remove the wheel hub bolts from my car, and those are notoriously difficult to remove.

It worked extremely well with 3/16 1.2 inch aluminum. My guess is if the manual says 1/4 works it will. The tool doesnt seem to be lacking in the power department at all. Its very powerful and solid. Not a single hick up

I dont see where the extra power would offset the cost. The 1/2 hp works well doesnt take off more metal than necessary, you just take your time. If I had to do this all day then cutting thru the blade faster would be nice.

Not sure. I don't believe the horse power would differ. Maybe the plus comes with more attachments?

A 3/8" socket is usually all that is needed for everyday repairs. The 1/2" is for larger projects such as taking head bolts from an automobile motor's heads to remove and replace the heads. I bought both the 3/8 and the 1/2" drive ratchets and like them both. A 1/4" rachet is for more delicate jobs. I rarely use one, myself. Buy with confidence, my friend.
