Love it so far; good upgrade over ISE Badger
The old 1/3 HP ISE Badger garbage disposal in my house was in the house when I bought the home 10 years ago so the old disposer is AT LEAST that old. It worked pretty well for these 10 years, but during that time it would jam frequently which required me to use the wrench tool to release the jam. Last week, the disposal started inexplicably leaking from the bottom whenever I ran the water on that side of the sink. I didn't spend much time trying to fix it since I had been putting replacing it anyway and decided to go ahead and purchase a new one. I originally wanted a 1 HP model, but saw that the 1/2 HP was half the price and STILL more powerful than my existing one so I opted for the L-2600 Legend instead. Another plus is that it is much cheaper on Amazon then what I find in the B & M stores. So even though I had to wait a few days it sure beats paying double for comparable models in the local stores. The day after the disposal arrived, I went to my local hardware store to purchase the tools I thought I would need and based on what the instruction manual said. The things I purchased separately are as follows. 1) Plumber's Putty 2) Mini Hacksaw 3) Pipe Wrench 4) Wire Nuts 5) Assortment of different sized strain reliefs (called Clamp connectors in the store). Because I couldn't figure out what size I needed I purchased 3/8", 1/2" and 1 1/4". 6) Assortment of water tight connectors just in case Out of these things I only needed the Plumber's putty and one of the Clamp connectors I purchased (3/8" with 1/2" knockout). I returned the unused strain reliefs to the store but kept the hacksaw and pipe wrench to use for future projects. Function This disposal is amazingly quieter than my old ISE, which is good since I just replaced a noisy 10+ year old dishwasher last year. It seems to have no issues grinding up old food or jamming which my ISE seemed to do frequently. I think this is a good relatively inexpensive replacement for your old broken disposal or just as a nice upgrade. I purchased the 1/2 HP because I didn't want to spend too much since it was an unexpected expense. But from what I've read, for most people the 1 HP (Waste King L-8000 Legend Series 1.0-Horsepower Continuous Feed Garbage Disposal) is better especially if you have a big family and/or frequently have a lot of guests over for parties or what not. Neither of these apply to me and since 1/2 HP was STILL more powerful than the 1/3 that came with my home, I was still coming out ahead. INSTALLATION (DIFFICULTY) Power Cord -- Can it be removed? ---------------------------------------------- Before I continue, many people (like myself) may wonder if the Power Cord is removable, the short answer is yes its removable, I removed mine because all the appliances in my home are hard wired Here are the steps I did to remove the cord while preserving it if I want to go back and use it later 1. Unscrew the metal plate on the bottom of the disposal. 2. Find the wires that run from the power cord (should be a white, black and copper wire) 3. Depending on how the wires are connected you may have to use a wire cutter to free the wire from the connector. Mine wasn't connected with wire nuts, but a plastic connector that seemed to be a permanent connection so it couldn't be twisted off. So what I did is stick a utility knife under the plastic connector and cut away at the exposed wire until it came out. I repeated this for the other wire. 4. To remove the copper ground wire, I just unscrewed the green screw to release it. 5. Removing the power cord assembly is a little harder; to do this I inserted a flathead screwdriver end under the rubber plug and pryed it out; this take a few tries as its in there pretty good. A WORD OF WARNING: DO NOT use a utility knife to try to pry it out, I stupidly tried this since I was too lazy to go to my tool box to get the proper tool and ended up stabbing myself in the thumb with the knife after it slipped, after learning my lesson I got the flathead screwdriver instead. 6. Once the rubber plug is released you should now be able to pull the power plug out through the opening. 7. Don't forget to use a wire stripper to prepare the remaining wire under the disposal to connect to your existing wires in your home. ---------------------------------------------- Installation of the Waste King itself was pretty simple; removing the old one...not so much. Prior to me installing a range hood and a dishwasher last year I had no experience installing appliances, but I was able to install this disposal by just following the instructions provided in the manual. Comparing this install to my range hood (non-vented), and my dishwasher, i would say it's harder than installing the range hood but slightly easier than installing the dishwasher. My old disposal wasn't connected to my dishwasher so I decided not to connect the Waste King to it either. I may go back and connect it later on, just not right now. If you want to read on about my installation experience it starts below, otherwise you can stop reading right here. INSTALLATION (TIME AND PROCESS) The install took me 7+ hours. Not because the new garbage disposal was hard to install, it was because the old one was such a pain to get out. While I had no issue getting the disposal itself out, the old sink flange was virtually impossible because it looks like the people who installed this disposal screwed the mounting bracket on too tight and ABOVE the threading on the lower part of the sink flange. As a result, no matter how many times I turned the mounting bracket it wouldn't go anywhere because it wasn't catching the threads to move down and come loose. If the sink flange and mounting bracket weren't so old, I would have just installed the Waste King over on that using the Easy Mount adapter kit, (which I bought separately just in case). But because it was so old and I really wanted to switch to the easy mount system anyway, I was determined to get it off. Normally, after removing the old disposal, you should be able to screw the mounting bracket off from under the sink and lift the sink flange up from the top of the sink. However because the mounting bracket just would not screw off because it didn't seem to be able to catch the threading. I decided to try to bend the edges of the sink flange that sits on top of the sink far enough so I could push it down through the sink instead of lifting it up. However I had no idea was I was getting myself into when deciding to try this. This process alone took a good 4 to 5 hours because whenever I would bend one side another part would stick out making it too wide to go through. After about 3 hours of using my wrenches (the hacksaw I bought was useless in cutting the flange), I went to the garage and got my tree branch cutters to try to cut the old flange so I could bend it more. The branch cutters made the job a little easier but still took almost two hours to get the flange bent enough so that I could push a part of it under the sink so I finally hammer the rest through. I also ended up slightly damaging the circular opening of my sink in doing this, but hopefully the plumbers putty will continue to stop any leaks as a result of the damage. UPDATE: Turns out I made this much harder than it needed to be. After examining the old sink flange assembly after removing it, I noticed a metal ring around the top of the threading that was preventing the bracket from screwing off. I did see this when trying to get it off but didn't know what that it was a separate piece and I thought it was part of the threading. Just out of curiosity I inserted a flat head screw driver around the edges of the metal ring and it popped right off making the mounting bracket easy to screw off. I am kicking myself for not seeing this before and it would have saved me 4 hours and would have prevented the damaged I caused. Oh well, I'll know for next time and hopefully you won't make the same mistake I did. After FINALLY getting the old sink flange off, installing the new disposal with the EZ Mount System was pretty simple. I put the new sink flange in and following the instructions, checking for and correcting any water leaks before I continued. While following the EZ mount instructions I didn't think the rubber cushion would be strong enough to hold the disposal without falling down, but a quick check showed that it would hold. After getting the sink flange prepared to hold the disposal next was the task of connecting the wiring. If you have an outlet under your sink, then USE it, it saves about a half hour of labor. Unfortunately I don't have an outlet under my sink and I didn't want to incur the extra expense of installing one under there, so I had to stick with hard wiring. As far as connectors go, I ended up using one of the water tight connectors instead of the 3/8" clamp connectors I originally planned to use. Reason being is that while testing out the connectors to see which ones would fit, the water tight connector was a perfect fit and I just never took it off and after the ordeal of getting the old sink flange off, I didn't want to waste any more time. I used my tool box to lay the waste king on then I connected it to the wiring in my home. The hardest thing here was getting the ground wire around the green screw. So I just ended up taking the green screw out completely, placing the ground wire directly over the hole, and then screwing the green screw back in. After I had the disposal connected to my wiring, all that was left was to mount the Waste King to the sink flange. This was incredibly easy and only required hammering to get the notch to the locked position. After mounting the Waste King now was the time to reconnect all the pipes. Because I don't run my dishwasher to my Garbage disposal, I only had one pipe to connect and surprisingly, the opening of the waste king was at the exact same level as my old ISE was; so the old pipe lined of perfectly. Everything was now hooked up so I turned the power back on to the disposal and let it run with running water. And SURPRISE!! Leaks! Leaks from under the sink, and leaks from the piping. I applied more plumbers putty under the sink as well as re attached the pipe and tried everything again. This time there were no noticeable leaks but I still am not ready to call the install a success just yet. I did this install on the 26th of March and have been monitoring it periodically for and standing water under my sink. So far no leaks, but I will probably give it another week or so before I'm 100% confident in my install.

Waste King Legend 8000 works great, fairly easy install
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.

Best bang for your buck!
Like the other reviewer, I bought this to replace 20 year old 1HP(Kenmore) disposer which had burnt out one weekend. 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.

We've had it for months it's a great and reliable device.
Okay we've had it for months now. It still works as well as it did new along with being quite. It also destroyed everything we have thrown into it without issue so it's a great choice. The one I replaced was a badger unit that had a two year warranty and was in the house when we bought it just about 1 3/4 years ago. I would imagine it was in there for 3 years because I know it was there when we looked at the house initially so I would imagine it had been there at a minimum of 6 months probably a little longer before we chose this house and finished with the contract. So the installation was easy relatively I actually wired a new power outlet because I had already bought it rather than hard wiring it which I could have done it either way but I bought the outlet and am an experienced Low Voltage/Communications electrician. That fact is not mentioned anywhere. I looked for it when I bought it and is why I had already bought the extra wall outlet, but hard wiring it is very simple as well you take a metal plate off the bottom held on by a bolt and there are a white, green and black wire coupled with pinch on wire grommets underneath to the plug in cord. I also did not know Waste King is Owned by MOEN you may have seen there faucets in Home Depot there a relatively well regarded brand sold at Home Depot or Lowe's home improvement and I imagine many other stores of that type. I found it out when I went to there website to see if I needed to register it for the warranty. Another thing I liked is the standing warranty on this unit is 8 years and from what I could tell 10 years on the Legend series which compared to the Badger unit I took out beats its standing warranty by 400% (as mentioned earlier the badgers warranty was 2 years which seems pretty low for a home utilitarian device like this to me) so I really like the warranty it is all stainless steel inside and the magnet motor on this unit is also probably about a quarter of the noise the old one made. I also think the price on this unit was outstanding and it was here in 2 days so no complaints anywhere from me. I will update this if I run into any issues though! As far as it goes it seems like a very solid unit to me.

Excellent disposer and incredible value, but frustrating custom flange compatibility
I moved in to a new home recently and found that the existing disposer was in need of replacement. Instead of replacing just the disposer, I decided to go ahead and completely replace the entire sink, including the faucet, flanges, and disposer. I decided to purchase most of these items on Amazon due to the excellent prices and free Prime shipping. However, I was troubled by the lack of documentation and details regarding the compatibility of the different parts. I'm writing this review along with a review of the disposer flange I purchased in an effort to fill in these gaps for future purchasers. For the disposer, I went with the Waste King L-1001 Legend Series 1/2 HP Continuous Feed Operation Waste Disposer; unfortunately, the flange that comes with the disposer has a highly reflective chrome finish which will not be suitable if you want to coordinate with faucet hardware that isn't also chrome. Though there are many custom flanges to choose from, the Waste King will not be compatible with most of them since it utilizes the EZ Mount system for attaching the disposer to the sink. This assembly is not compatible with the majority of the custom finish disposer flanges found on Amazon and in most other stores; most are intended for Insinkerator (ISE) disposers. There is an adapter kit available ( Waste King 3101 ISE Adapter Kit ), but I would highly recommend only using this adapter if you are replacing an existing ISE disposer and want to use the hardware already attached to your sink; if you are starting from scratch you would still need to purchace the ISE mounting hardware in addition to the adapter. I should also note that there are some Waste King branded flanges for sale, but the only ones I found that are compatible with the EZ Mount system have plastic finishes, like white, biscuit, etc. Waste King flanges that offer a metal finish are only for Waste King disposers that use the very different 3-bolt mounting system, which are a bit more expensive than the EZ Mount variety. If you plan to start from scratch with all new components as I did, using an EZ Mount disposer along with a suitable disposer flange like the Waste Maid Custom Sink Flange/Stopper Set I eventually purchased will simplify your installation and help you avoid headaches and delays caused by ordering incompatible parts. If you insist on a certain brand of disposer flange you will have to get the flange, ISE mounting hardware, and the adapter. This should work, but at a much higher cost than the Waste Maid flange alone. I won't go into too much detail about the disposer itself; anything I would say has already been posted. It's compact, it's powerful, and it's an excellent value. On top of all that, it's also the quietest disposer I personally have ever used; however, I should note that I've only ever had Badger junk before this and I have it mounted to a very solid and heavy cast iron sink. Your mileage may vary when it comes to noise and vibration if you're using a lighter sink. Installation was a breeze once I had the correct type of flange. Like some others have mentioned, I would recommend installing an outlet under your sink if you were considering rewiring the disposal with an existing connection. Installing an outlet will be easier than replacing the existing cord and will also simplify future replacements/upgrades. Finally, an outlet and box costs less than one dollar, so it's really a no-brainer. In conclusion, I would not hesitate to buy a Waste King again, but I'm pretty confident that I won't even have to for a long time. If you need a new disposer, Waste King is the way to go; just make sure you get the right kind of flange if you don't want to use the stock one.

Easy Peasy
2 days ago, before headed out for a family outing, my wife opened the cabinet door under our kitchen sink to find the whole deck saturated with water. After examination, it was found that our 12 year old Emerson garbage disposal had sprung a leak at the reset button mounting at the bottom. What a disaster! Luckily it was caught early, bought now I had decisions to make and a problem to solve. Later that day, while benched at an out-of-town mall, I pulled out my smart phone to browse my Amazon wish list. To my surprise, this Waste King model was a featured gold box deal on my wish list products page. Based on the reviews and lifetime in-home warranty I immediately ordered it. This unit has a power cord vs. my Emerson being hard-wired. Yesterday, I went to Lowes and bought plumbers putty and the materials to install a surface mount electrical outlet box under the sink. Got home and disconnected the hard-wired power from the faulty Emerson disposal and ran that power into the outlet box which I securely surface mounted to the upper back wall under the sink. It took me about 30 minutes. I had that part done before the Waste King arrived today. I am not the best self-installer when it comes to DIY jobs. Do you know the father in the "A Christmas Story" movie working on the furnace? That is me to a T. Any easy DIY job becomes a tormentous affair for me. Evacuate the house before I start a DIY job. Just thinking about doing the job myself has ruined these past two days because I know something is going to go wrong. Fortunately my worries were baseless. The Waste King arrived this afternoon. The first part was removing the Emerson disposal, which came out in 5 minutes, easy peasy ... the flange and all (I had watched about 20 youtube videos regarding disposal removal/installation prior). Cleaned the old putty from around the stainless steel sink drain opening. Come to find I didn't need the plumbers putty bought at Lowes the day before. The Waste King comes with a rubber gasket just for stainless steel sinks ... no putty necessary. Checked the rubber seal for leaks before mounting the disposal (just put in the drain plug and add water to the sink). No leaks! Then installed the Waste King using only the parts included in less than an hour. No cussing, nor throwing things. I did have to hack saw about 1/2 of an inch off the Waste King's drain pipe to feed it into my existing tee fitting from the other drain. The tee fitting then feeds straight down to the trap. Plugged it into the new outlet box, flipped the switch and she started right up. I'd say it is no quieter nor louder than the Emerson. The sound is a lower hum tonally. Ran water in both drains for a while with no leaks found. I put a large roasting pan lined with paper towels under the disposal and drain pipes and will monitor it for leaks over the next few days, but all looks well. Still have to check the dishwasher connection for leaks, but expect no problems with it. Will check that tonight. Very happy with my Waste King purchase ... quality, easy installation and, of course, Amazon's gold box price and fast 2 day prime shipping. Now I can relax again.

First day review: Installation Full Marks
The installation was very easy for someone who has not done this sort of thing before. Saves about $150-$200 (plumbers quoted rate for disposal installation). The manual was detailed. I didn't have to look at web videos. Just spent 10 - 15 minutes skimming thru the manual. Removed the old Badger 5 - removing it was the difficult part. The installer of the Badger 5 had put glue and sealed the connection between the black elbow/bend pipe connector and the home 1 1/2" drain. So I had to cut just under the joint and remove the older black elbow/bend connector. Also the thin ring on the 3-bolt system was a bit tough to get off - had to use a strong screwdriver to push it down and out from the top - a difficult angle on something that is so close to the sink. My sink is stainless steel so used the seal that came with the Waste King. The Waste king comes with the black 1 1/4" elbow connector. Followed directions to first install the EZ mount on the stainless sink and test the seal by putting the stopper and half filling sink and letting stand for 3-4 minutes. Left the water in the sink for the duration of the install so that if any installation step causes seal break it will be known immediately. Then I rushed to home depot to get the 1 1/2" to 1 1/4" reducer PVC connector (which I had had to cut off when I removed the Badger) and using glue connected it to the previously cut pipe - the plumbers glue has toxic fumes so make sure to properly ventilate if using the plumbers glue - horrible substance - glad I had to use it only once. Since I had made the cut very close, I did not need to patch the pipe with a union. Since PVC is a bit flexible when it comes to moving things around(as compared to metal pipes), I was able to slip the waste king black elbow into the PVC reducer connection and secure the connection with the screw type flange. For electrical, if you are replacing a disposal that is directly connected to the home wiring without a wall outlet, then I would recommend the purchase of this part: Leviton 000-515CR-000 (15 Amp Rubber Grounding Plug, Black, also available in Vinyl for $4 - recommend the rubber version) - this is available on Amazon as well as in Home Depot/Lowes. It is only about $5 and saves having to cut or undo the three-prong plug on the waste king. You insert and affix your home wiring into this connector (of course after following necessary precaution of shutting off breaker). Then you plug the waste king into the other end of this which has a three prong female connector. All the hammering to move the notch to the extreme left (as mentioned in the install guide) had caused the whole assembly to move a bit off the center when seen from the sink. But this was not something to worry. Gripping the Waste King with both hands, I was able to slide the whole assembly to a centered position without having to redo everything and the seal was still water tight. The noise was much less than the badger. Every time you start it up, it has a little metallic click which can be especially heard if you do not have the strainer on. Initially I was a bit unsure if mine was defective, but then I RTFM where it was mentioned that this is normal. Start time (start of opening the box and starting to read manual): 8:45 PM, end time 2 AM. In between took about 1.5 hour break to run to home depot as well as get dinner. I will update review with actual usage experience as well as long term performance in a few months. Result is not just that I saved money on the installation, but now feel confident to do a lot of minor plumbing tasks. Considered new ISE low noise products before buying this, but didn't really feel that the trade off of noise to price was worth paying $100 plus. After all the disposal is used only once or twice a day for a few minutes and a 10-20% louder noise during these times is perfectly acceptable - this one does have good noise reduction though when compared to the badgers. Would have been nice if Waste King had included the Leviton electrical connector as well as the PVC reducer in the package for upgraders, but for price that's expecting too much I guess.

Needed a new one, read about this one on amazon.com and decided to get it.
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.

Great return experience
Item is very well packaged and appears good, however I had to return it as it doesn’t fit my needs. Return process was very smooth and pleasant

Second hand 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....

Después de casi 5 años funcionando (comprado en ene/21 y funcionando a partir de jul/21), creo que ya es necesario decir que sigue como nuevo. Espero que así sigua muchos años más.

Bon rapport qualité prix
Travaille bien et niveau sonore respectable. Assez facile d’installation
