Waste King Garbage Disposal for Kitchen Sink with Power Cord, Food Waste Disposer, L-8000

The product stopped functioning after just 2–3 uses. I contacted the seller through the Amazon app, and their response was that they are only responsible for selling the product and do not provide any service. A local technician examined the item and informed me that it is not compatible with the power supply standards in India.

Pros: Cheap Easy to install Lots of power Cons: Not enough noise to scare the cats off the counter anymore After moving out of an apartment with a disposal into a house that didn't have one, I really started to notice how much organic waste was thrown into the trash and since it was just two of us it would sit for a week for garbage day. I looked hard around at stores near by and at online reviews for them. They were all 300+ and didn't have as many good reviews as this one. I risked it and couldn't be happier. I received it in less than a day for a small fee(something like 5$ more). Ordered Monday and got it Tuesday around noon. The install was simple and the Easy Connector that was included was a breeze to put together. I do recommend doing what it says in the manual and put the whole system together outside of the sink. The power is amazing. It shreds everything. The only thing I haven't tried is banana peels which my old disposal had problems with. The noise level is on par with what you would expect from a 1hp motor. It was actually quieter than our old one but I'll chalk that up to the age of it. There is a slight "ting" sound if you turn the motor on with no waste down the drain. I assume it is from the actual moving bits inside hitting the stoppers, but if there is food it there you don't hear it. It's been install for about a month now and had no problems at all with it. Would defiantly recommend this one.

First comment (and this does not affect my rating of the actual product) - I ordered a new one of these and the product I received was clearly used, damaged, and missing parts. That was disappointing. Amazon was great about quickly resolving the problem through the simple return/exchange process, but it was an unnecessary frustration. I had the replacement within 5 days of filing the claim online. Now the review: First Impression - I installed the disposal this past weekend and so far it seems to work great. I originally looked at this unit after reading the high rating by consumer reports... and the user reviews seemed to back that up. Noise - It is much quieter than I expected, but it is still a high power garbage disposal so it is obviously going to make some noise (plus noise is going to depend on what you jam into it - and it can handle a lot!). For comparison sake, I replaced a 1/2 hp disposal with this 1hp disposal, and the 1hp disposal is significantly quieter when not grinding. That being said, I much less concerned running it when kids are sleeping. Quality & value - The build quality seems very good, and the solid warranty is a nice perk (although very unlikely it would ever get used vs just replacing the unit one day). The price was also very reasonable. Installation - Wow. Super easy to install. You truly could have this thing installed within 5-10minutes after removing your existing disposal. It could be a 15min job in total. If you need to hardwire the unit, it is very easy, although I found pulling the factory cord off to be more challenging than it should be (my unit used a rubber fitting to hold the cord in place versus a clamp - easy enough to deal with, but could have been easier). It is definitely worth noting that this unit is large. So if you are replacing a smaller disposal, you should check your under-sink plumbing configuration to determine if it will fit. In my case, I had to redo some of the pipe configurations under the sink (if the builder laid it out better, this wouldn't have been an issue). If you are not handy with plumbing, you will want to check this before buying, or plan on using a plumber. If it will fit, anyone could install this unit. So far, so good. I would recommend this product.

The box already gave it away, it looked old and as if it had been opened before, looking inside the disposal confirmed the suspicion, the disposal had been used, there was food inside. Hope it was only for testing, could have been in use for a year also, who knows....

Overall: Works great, fairly easy install (1 hour or less), much quieter than my Insinkerator Badger, much more powerful than the Badger (1 HP instead of 1/3 HP), replaced 3 bolt with EZ mount without any need for an adapter kit. Amazon: Lowest Price (just over $120), arrived three days after I ordered it even though I selected free shipping (don't yet have Amazon Prime, but thinking about it). Experience: I was trying to figure out what to buy to replace my broken Insinkerator Badger (12 years old). Consumer Reports rated the Waste King Legend 8000 the highest, so that was the default buy, unless I found consumer reviews that recommended otherwise. I read many of the reviews on Amazon.com as well as Consumer Reports, and most said that it was a great buy and fairly easy to install. I was concerned about whether the EZ mount would fit my sink, because my Insinkerator Badger is a 3 bolt mount. One Amazon review mentioned having to purchase an adapter kit to use the EZ mount if you had a 3 bolt install, but others said that they didn't need it, including those that bought and reviewed the adapter kit. I did not purchase the adapter kit, and I did not need it. I am not a plumber, and have only had a minimal amount of experience installing plumbing-related appliances, so I was ready to call a plumber if needed. Not once during the install did I feel that I was in over my head. 1. After reading the directions, the removal of the Insinkerator Badger took about 30 minutes (I was cautious and took more time). The helpful hint about using a screw driver to remove the snap spring did the trick in removing the hardware. 2. I followed all of the instructions, in order, including the hints, which were very helpful. I did use plumbers putty, as I do not have a stainless steel sink, but I did notice that another reviewer also used plumber's putting even though they were installing it with a stainless steel sink. The branding on the chrome top of the sink flange is very minor in my opinion. It was much less noticeable than the one on my Insinkerator Badger. 3. I had a minor leak after connecting the pipes, but it wasn't the Waste King and was just a matter of using a little bit of teflon tape amd rescrewing the pipes together under my sink. It is crucial to make sure that the pipes are screwed together properly or else there very well may be a leak. Check all pipes from both sinks. I also ran my dishwasher afterwards to check that connection (no leak). 4. I did use a little bit of soap the first time around, which was a helpful hint from another reviewer to reduce noise. I did notice that there is a little click when I first turn on the Waste King, which is the impellers swinging into place, but after that, the sound is much quieter than my Insinkerator Badger. For those who are worried about the product itself, I could not be any happier. For those worried about the install, I would say that, if you are the occassional handyperson around the house, and like to try things yourself, this install is a piece of cake. Once again, Amazon, and all of those who take the time to review products that they purchase really came through. I continue to be a very happy Amazon customer.
