This is the one I have, and it works great and was very easy to install. It's obviously loud, but not as loud as I expected, but we upgraded from some builders grade junk. The drain plug is stiff and until it's broken in, you will have to push bigger things through. I like it because it prevents backsplash and keeps the noise lower than it would otherwise be.
I know it releases good bacteria into the system, but the best thing I've heard from all "experts" (not trying to sell me something) is don't use (or put down the sink) anti-bacterial stuff, as it kills the good bacteria in your septic.
The good bacteria will thrive as long as you aren't trying to kill them. On to the disposal, it seems like a good one, and a bit quieter than the insinkerator I recently bought and the evolution line is supposed to be pretty good.
I have a septic system and have fine strainers on all my sinks to just avoid putting junk down the drain.
is this for the person that just has to put food waste down the drain?

With 3 kids and 3 adults in my house, we throw away way too much food. I had to get a disposal after living in the house for a few months. I installed this and having been throwing all kinds of food scraps and bones down it. It is awesome. I had to change the original baffle that sticks in the drain because it was ripped. They change the design so you don't have to push the food down like you did with the original. It goes down easier. However , it is louder due to the larger opening. I have no regrets with this thing. I buy the ridx from amazon to refill the container. I'm planning on having my septic tank emptied soon, about 14 months since my last empty. We'll see how things go.

If you are OK dealing with the strainers, then stick with them. Most septic service pros will tell you to avoid disposals unless you're willing to pump twice as often. Whatever you do, avoid putting grease down the drain.

I'd be more than happy to give you a link to the engineering online book that covers this. Tis free
You pump it that often? We have 5 people and pump it probably every 5 years and have a garbage disposal. Last time it was pumped, he said we could've waited close to 10 years...
