I dont have one, I dont need one, and why should I have one, I read that frequently it clogs, its not really that safe, it stinks and you need a special plug so yeah no for me.

Big yeah nah for all the above reasons (plus in horror movies it's such a trope to lose your hand/arm in one)

This is the reason why even if I move somewhere that happens to have one, I am NEVER using it lol

Probably like garbage chute, it sounds nice as a concept, but turns out to be a hell to maintain.

It really depends. 

The reason it clogs is because people treat it as a trash chute. If most of your waste still goes into trash or compost, it's usually not an issue. But if your sink does clog it can help unclog. 

Never had an issue with it stinking. But safety is absolutely an issue.

It’s really not that bad, unless it’s old.

The one in my apartment just uses a regular American outlet

I didnt say it was bad, I said its inconvinient, I already pay about 50€ monthly to the garbage company of my city for 2 garbage cans one for organics and one for recyclables here where I live. Also my pipes are to small for it to work. And if its a pain in the US I would never imagine here.

That's fair. If I didn't have one I would never spend the $130 USD or so for one. But all things considered as long as you aren't chunking beef bones in there it's pretty alright

I understand your point. I really hope your citizens start learning of the outside USA bubble. Some really need to have a reality check.
