There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The item arrived the next day. I opened it and found it has all the part connected except the discharge elbow. This allows me to play around the connection of each part before install the piece. I found the mount was very easy to connect and tighten with little lift and small effortless twist. This gave me more encouragement.
Checking the manual, I found that I don't even need the plumber's putty to install the sink flange. That is even better, and I don't even have to dirty my hand with the putty and mess around to squeeze out the excess putty. Another positive point.
I had previously installed an inSinkerator at another house, and it was not as easy. I had to buy the external cord, and cord holder, then connect them to the machine. For this disposal, everything is in place and there was no extra parts to buy and connect. Another good point.
The most difficult part of installation was to take apart my old display and remove the old sink flange, and disconnect the pipe. Then I put in the new sink flange, and with a few twist of support ring, it was in place. I used the screw driver and hammer to tighten it another 180 degree. The put in the removable splash guard and stopper. Fill in the water. No leaks.
Next, I put in the mount ring and cushion mount. After screw on the discharge elbow and push out the dishwasher discharge inlet plug, I put it up against the mount right with notch alignment, then a little light twist, it was in place. Holding the discharge elbow to sturdy it, I used the hammer to tighten the mount right all the way to the lock position. This is done in five minute without even dirty my hand or break a sweat (and it was a hot day). Reconnecting the pipes and I am done. I can't believe how easy it was for installation.
Now testing the disposal. I got several corn husks and cob and stick them in the the disposal. It emitted a short puuf sound, and the stuff were gone as if asking: is that it? I am still hungry. It was very quiet and the grinding action was short, nothing like the previous one that makes huge noise and took a long while to ground the food. It was such delight to put stuff in, and I was looking for all kind of scrap to put them in and it just sucked it in a second and ask for more.
One thing I was worried about this disposal was that it does not come with hex wrench for unjamming it. I was regretting that it does not have this feature. Then I did some research and found that Waste King L-8000 has 1 horse power. What this means is that it has more torque to turn the motor. A disposal usually jam when it starts because it does not have enough torque. That means it has enough power to avoid jam. That is why it does not need the hex wrench.
Even if it jammed, it is easy to remove the jammed material from the disposal with its removable splash guard. My old disposal had a fixed splash guard and I can't stick my hand into it. End up I had to ask my kid with small hand to get into it to remove the debris. Now, even with my big hand, I can easily reach in to remove the jammed debris.
If it jammed and trip the safety, it is easy to reach for the reset button that is at side with easy to reach notch. Unlike the other disposal I had, it was at bottom and I always had to reach down and feel around to get to the reset button.
In summary, it is a powerful and quiet device that is huge improvement from what I had, and everything I encountered is better. I would recommend this disposal for your next replacement.
The mounting system is well-designed, providing a secure fit and vibration reduction, which contributes to the unit's surprisingly quiet operation. The noise level is impressively low, a welcome change from my previous, much louder unit. Running the disposal in the evening is no longer a worry, as it doesn’t disrupt conversations or quiet time after dinner.
Installation was straightforward, and the inclusion of a power cord meant I could get it up and running without any additional electrical work. It was a simple process that I could handle myself, saving the cost and hassle of professional installation.
Overall, the Waste King Garbage Disposal strikes the perfect balance between performance and convenience. Its quiet operation, easy installation, and effective grinding capabilities make it an easy recommendation for anyone in the market for a reliable food waste disposal solution.
To be honest I was very intimidated to replace the disposal unit. However, the installation was straightforward and actually quite easy. I had to remove old one, clean some old plumber's putty and make sure contact surface was clean before I put the new one on. There was no plumbers putty included so I did have to run out to buy some which seemed a waste. My old unit used a 3 bolt attachment, but when installing the Waste king I went with the EZ method which was effortless to install. One note that was helpful in reading the other reviews is to put some liquid soap on the gasket of the disposal unit when attaching it to the EZ mount attachment. It will make the job much easier. Finally, the outlet orientation and dishwasher inlet were in just about the exact same spot as the previous disposer. I did need to work on adjusting my plumbing, but I was lucky that they were minor adjustments.
The disposer comes with around 2-3 feet of cable with standard 3 prong plug on one end, which I removed prior to installing below the sink since my old unit was hardwired. The instructions will help you with this, but really it was very simple. My only complaint here is that the rubber plug where the wire goes into the unit and prevents moisture from accidentally getting into the unit is actually a molded part of the 3 prong plug assembly and therefore I was not able to re-use it for my hardwired line. It would have been nice to slide it off the 3 prong plug cord and slip it onto my wire and then plug the inlet hole.
After I rewired the unit I tested with just water running to insure there were no leaks and that the unit worked. It works great and runs quiet. In fact I actually removed the splash guard once to make sure the blades were spinning it was so quiet. The removable splash guard is also a nice feature and will be easy to replace over time. My old unit's spash guard was almost non-existent but in order to change it, I would have had to remove the entire unit.
I think this is the best bang for your buck these days. First, its quality using stainless steel blades and chamber walls and secondly it comes with 5 year in home and life time rust warranty. I did run to Home Depot and see what they had to offer when I was doing my research. The cheapest disposal on the shelf was a Badger 1/3HP which was actually $99 + tax. But many of the Badger models I researched online and on Amazon did not get rave reviews. I decided on The Waste King 2600 after reading all the reviews and am now writing one due to my complete satisfaction. I was considering the cheaper Waste King 1001 model, but decided to go with the 2600 for the 5 year warranty. Plus the 2600 resembled my old Kenmore unit in shape and size and I assumed it would be more compatible when installing and is one reason I believe that my plumbing adjustments were so minor. I am very satisfied with my purchase and only wish that I had done this sooner. The Waste King 2600 1/2HP motor works just as good as my old 1HP Kenmore unit. Plus, it doesn't stink when running like an old 20 year old unit.

The installation was easy but I had to replace the supplied 90deg plastic discharge pipe with a strait brass model (available at most hardware stores) for my plumbing setup.
The unit comes with the power cord.
Compared to my previous KitchenAid, this unit is MUCH MORE QUIETER but I don't know how it compares to recent competitors out there.
Not sure how long the unit will last but so far it does the job for our family of six.
I recommand this purchase for its low cost, noise level and power.
