| I have a problem with the garbage disposal installation. Waste pipe
entering the wall is a little (about 1/4") higher than the disposer
discharge (centerline to centerline). If I install it like this, there
is going to be standing water in the disposer. Is this a big problem?
I can't replace the sink or move the pipe entering the wall. Any
suggestions?
This one is KitchenAid, and I looked at other brands if there are any
shorter/smaller units, but it seems like most of the disposals have
similar dimensions.

1/4" should not be a problem

All the disposals I have seen come with clear diagrams and
specifications that show what the various mounting distances are,
including the allowed measurements vertically from the disposal
discharge to the drain connection. If the one you have can't be used
within the manufacturers parameters, if possible, I would take it back
and try to find one that does.
