 3-bolt hardware versus EZ mount hardware = no problem... Dec 13, 2009
By Ronald L. Linch Jr.
Couldn't be happier with the purchase.
Here are some facts:
1. This unit replaced a Badger-1 disposal which had come with our house when we bought it new in 2004. I didn't even know what type we had until I took it out. We had been happy with the Badger but it eventually stopped working. Doing some research after-the-fact, I learn the Badger-1 only has a 1/3 hp motor and 1 year warranty. The Waste King L-8000 has a full 1 hp motor and a lifetime (non-transferable) warranty.
2. Though the Badger-1 only had 1/3 of the power of the L-8000, the Waste King was actually quieter. We didn't think either of them was loud, but the Waste King was even quieter.
3. There are basically two types of disposal mounts nowadays. If you have an existing disposal, the odds are nearly 100% that it's installed utilizing either a 3-bolt mount system or the EZ mount system. If you are planning to replace a disposal that required a 3-bolt mount system (such as the Badger-1) with a disposal that requires the EZ mount system (such as the Waste King) you will also need to purchase the following adapter kit: Anaheim Mfg Co 3 Bolt Mount Adapter Kit 3101.
* The above adapter kit is sold here on Amazon for less than $10 and is very easy to install. All you do is swap out two pieces that came with your EZ mount disposal with the two pieces in the kit. You will then be able to connect your new EZ mount disposal to a sink that contains 3-bolt mount hardware. On a scale of 1-10, I would say that the difficulty factor was a 1 or 2. Easy! Additionally, Anaheim Mfg Co (the company that makes the adapter kit) is the same company that manufactures Waste King disposals. So, everything fit perfectly and effortlessly.
4. I had never done any plumbing but I was able to do this myself. Total time was around 2 hours... but I took my time and also (as the instructions recommended) took time to disassemble most of the plastic plumbing from underneath the sink and cleaned them out real well. I was surprised how much gunk had accumulated.
5. The instructions list nine items or tools it thinks you might need to get the job done... but you will likely need much less. I only needed two tools myself: a screwdriver and a hacksaw. The screwdriver was used to tighten the three screws of the 3-bolt mount system while the hacksaw was used to slightly shorten a couple plastic pieces (the horizontal sink pipe leading from main sink line to disposal & the discharge elbow coming off the disposal).
6. Another concern I had was whether the different lengths of the Badger disposal versus my Waste King disposal might cause plumbing alignment problems when I tried to put everything back together. It was not an issue. I'm now guessing the actual plumbing location within the different brands of disposals are standard. In other words, if one disposal is 16 inches deep while the other is 20 deep inches deep, both would have plumbing entering the disposal at 9 inches down from the top.
7. I bought this unit after seeing Consumer Reports (Aug 2009 issue) rate it highest out of six disposals they tested. They also showed the price as $230, so seeing it on Amazon for much less and reading all the positive reviews made it a no brainer.
Hope this helps!

1HP Wasteking disposal Jul 02, 2009
By E. Cohen
Quiet and fast. Has stopper that really works. Small bin makes accidents less likely, and I have not dropped any tableware in yet.
One thing that you must do. Before turning the lock ring in the final step of installation, don't forget to soap up the rubber gasket. If you don't, you will be sorry. It is not an option as implied by the instructions.

Grinds it up Jul 24, 2009
By Kcirtap
I have been using this product for almost 6 months now and it is great. After installation, I have taken its flawless performance for granted. It was substantially larger than the small wimpy disposal that came with our house, but also surprisingly quieter; more like the guttural growl of a menacing bulldog than a loud but harmless chihuahua.
A couple of pieces of advice - make sure it will fit under your sink (it barely fit under mine), and create an outlet to plug it into instead of trying to directly wire it since it comes with a plug you would have to otherwise cut out.

 installation is a challenge Oct 13, 2009
By --Mike
Just finished installing it tonight. I have installed my fair share of disposals over the years, and this installation was by far one of the most troublesome.
Very important: make sure the locking ring at the bottom of the sink flange can slide over the rubber gasket. I had the gasket too high on the sink flange and spent 2 hours trying to push the disposer high enough to lock in place with the locking ring, and of course it didn't work--very, very frustrating!! The fix was to pull the rubber gasket lower, which allowed the locking ring to twist freely over the gasket. Had to do all this while on the floor under the sink, so it wasn't much fun.
As for the electrical connection, this is a replacement disposal, and the old disposal was direct wired. So I decided to remove the included 3-prong cord and direct wire this disposal to the switched wire rather than install a receptacle under the sink. It wasn't overly difficult, but in the end, it would have been less work to just install a receptacle under the sink. If you have this decision, add the receptacle and just use the attached 3-prong cord.
Looking forward to getting good use from this top rated consumer reports disposal, just wish it had been a little easier to install. Good luck.

Mine shipped from Cantex and was fine.... Sep 27, 2009
By Robin
I also purchased based on the Consumer Reports rating as well as reviews posted here. I feel I saved 50% over a comparable disposal at a big box store. Mine was shipped from Cantex. I was nervous based on the previous reviewer, but all parts were present and the disposal works very well. I had it professionally installed (was getting new countertops, new sink, new faucet). When I first turned it on, it sounded louder than I expected. The plumber said to put a little dishwashing detergent in and it would lubricate the blade. Wow, made a huge difference in the noise level. He said to do that weekly and it will also keep odors down. So far I'm very pleased.
