Tools and Hardware Reviews of Waste King L-1001 Legend Series 1/2 HP Continuous Feed Operation Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Does the job. Easy install.
Summary: 5 Stars
This disposal works as advertised. I replaced a 1/3 HP disposal that was about 8 years old. This 1/2 HP is smaller and quieter. It has disposed of all that I have put in it so far. My only complaint is that the sink opening is slightly smaller than my previous unit.
Installation was pretty easy. My old disposal was a 3 bolt so I did have to completely remove it before installation. The unit comes assembled which is helpful for the install. Pay attention to how the cushion mount and tightening ears go together. It is a little cumbersome trying to get it to sit right while you are trying to hold and mount the unit but once you see how it sits it is pretty easy.
Price, size, warranty and customer reviews led to this purchase. At this point, I am extremely happy with this decision.
Customer Review: Does what it is supposed to do with a charming churn, which is a little loud when have a lot of water/food to drain at once.
Summary: 5 Stars
Installation took less time than taking an old piece of ... out. When ordering make sure you have the right electrical set-up picked. I odered a unit WITH cord provided, but ended up taking it out myself and hooking up straight to the unit using an existing connection to the old Insinkerator. It fit perfectly!!! Believe me, I am not handy, but was able to do the "easy installation" myself. To make it a little easier, put some petroleum jelly on those little pegs, which go to the final unit connection to the sink.
Other detail. Manifacturer-provided size chart found in the box for Legend series was far more detailed than anything I found on sale sites. I would have chosen 2600 or 3200 series if I new the exact size. Please call manifacturer or sales rep to clarify the unit size.
Customer Review: Easy installation
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit was easy to install for an average homeowner. It took about 1/2 hour to remove the old unit (the hardest part) and install the new. This thing works great and will grind up almost anything. I definitely recommend this disposer to anyone wanting a really high quality, easy to install, and high functioning piece of equipment.Customer Review: Easy installation and great performance
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as a replacement for my 3/4 HP Kenmore and it is a real champ. It has no difficulty with tough food products (banana peels, rinds, etc.) and was a cinch to install. My only complaint is that the rubber flange in the drain opening is a bit stiff, so I have to push light or wide waste into the disposal, which is a little daunting when it's running. But this was a bargain and I'm very happy with it.Customer Review: Easy replacement for larger unit
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this unit as a replacement for a broken Insinkerator that was rated similar, but twice the size and twice the price. Installation was a breeze with the easy to follow directions, and took less time than removing the old unit. This Waste King disposal works at the very least as good as the old disposal and runs a little bit quieter.
