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.
The Waste King L-8000 replaces a disposal that came with my home. The old disposal was a SinkGuard SE150 1/3 Horsepower. It lasted 7.5 years before it began to seize-up due to rust and bad bearings. The old unit had the 3-bolt connection, which I completely removed. The EZ mount system that came with the Waste King was all I needed.
It took me about 1.5 hours to get the old disposal out and to install the Waste King. Reading the reviews on Amazon was very helpful. It was good to know that this was a do-it-yourself job.
My sink is fairly basic: Just one big sink with one drain.
Everything that I needed came with the Waste King. I reused the gasket that was part of my old discharge elbow (slipped it off the old discharge elbow and onto the new discharge elbow that came with the Waste King...it helps to make a tight seal between the discharge elbow and the plumbing).
The instructions were well written. I followed them closely. Here are some things to note:
REMOVING THE OLD DISPOSAL
The instructions talk about removing the old disposal completely, and then in the next section they talk about removing the dishwasher connection. When removing the old disposal, just be sure to remove all things attached to it before removing the old unit itself.
SUPPORTING THE UNIT
Whether removing the old unit or installing the new one, I placed folded towels under the unit to hold it in place; this kept the unit from falling or tipping over. Folded towels worked well for me, since I could adjust the height of the support easily.
FINAL TOUCHES
I secured the discharge elbow loosely to the unit using the provided plate and screws.
Then I inserted the discharge elbow into my plumbing (with folded towels supporting the unit).
Then I tightened the mounting ring enough to support the unit.
Then I tightened the discharge elbow to the unit.
Then I tightened the discharge elbow to the plumbing.
Then I plugged the dishwasher drain into the unit and tightened it.
Finally, still with the folded towels supporting the unit, I tightened the mounting ring completely.
I did not need a hammer to tightened the ring completely; I was able to tighten it completely using my hand.
I found it was important to keep the unit supported while tightening the mounting ring completely, because I accidentally turned the ring the wrong way (but not enough for the unit to come-off). If the support wasn't there when I accidentally turned the ring the wrong way (and if the unit came off), then it would have placed strain on the dishwasher and plumbing connections.
There were no leaks, thankfully. I ran the dishwasher briefly to make sure it didn't leak either. After flipping the electrical switch, the unit started immediately the first time. No complaints regarding the noise level.
When turned-on, the unit sucks water through the splash guard somewhat, but I still had to push some items through the splash guard (like potato peals). So, I trimmed-off half of the small flaps from the splash guard, and now food items fall through the opening much easier. This means that I don't need to force food particles down the drain (I throw big stuff in the trash, so only small items go in the disposal).
The Waste King is larger than my old unit, but that was expected since the old unit was only 1/3 Hp and the Waste King is 1 Hp. On Amazon, someone posted a picture of their old InSinkErator Badger 5 next to the Waste King (to show the size difference). The Badger 5 is only 3/4 Hp, so it still makes sense that the Waste King is larger.
The Waste King is made in China.
WASTE KING versus INSINKERATOR
Why did I purchase this Waste King model instead of an InSinkErator model that is made in the USA?
Because of the reviews for each brand and the warranties. I wanted something with a lifetime warranty and something that did not rust. Some reviews for InSinkErator mentioned rust and/or units failing right after the warranty. The Waste King L-8000 uses stainless steel parts; it has a lifetime warranty on the unit, including a lifetime corrosion warranty. And the price was right.
I'm very pleased with my purchase and the easy installation.
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.
Top reviews from other countries
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.
