Tools and Hardware Reviews of the Waste King L-8000TC Legend Series 1 HP Batch Feed Operation Waste Disposer
Tool Review: Waste King rules!
Summary: 5 Stars
After going through three 3/4 HP Insinkerators in 10 years, I'd had it with that brand. Having recently switched to Waste King, I can say that the 1 HP model is quiet and powerful. The difference between 3/4 HP and 1 HP is huge. The accompanying manual says that you can put corn cobs in the Waste King--they don't recommend it since they take a very long time to grind, but, trust me, it would be disposal suicide to try corn cob disposal in an Insinkerator. As an experiment, I did put a corn cob into the Waste King, and it did grind it down (took about 5 minutes). To me, this is impressive.
I don't know how long the Waste King will last, but the unit seems to be much sturdier and stronger than the Insinkerator (I'm speaking of the 3/4 HP Insinkerator that Home Depot carries).
Pros:
Easy to install and the instructions were reasonably clear.
Powerful, quiet, hasn't jammed once in the 3 months I've had it.
Larger opening than the equivalent Insinkerator models, making it easier to fish out spoons, etc. that always seem to end up in the disposal.
Cons:
The cap that makes the disposal run is entirely plastic. I'd prefer a sturdier one with some metal in it.
To those who say it's hard to position the cap, it's pretty much the same as the Insinkerator and any other batch model. Once you figure out the o'clock position, you'll be fine.
