 Great but not perfect. September 7, 2010
Steven M. Wall (Olathe, KS United States)
I purchased this as a replacement for a builder's grade 1/4 HP. I expected a few more difficulties getting this put in but it wasn't bad at all. Luckily the previous system had a quick mount release so I didn't have to replace the entire flange and assembly. It didn't feel fully seated when installing it, but its got a good seal. I'd have to attribute this just to the compression of the rubber collar. The only issue I had was the drain pipe needed to be cut down to match existing plumbing.
As for operation, its pretty quiet when running, but when it starts up if there's no food or water in the basin, there's a very loud knock as the blades are locking into position. Once it comes up to speed however, its super quiet, no matter what I throw down there. I have noticed as more and more garbage gets processed, this knock isn't as pronounced. I assume this is from the natural buildup around the blade mechanism.
I would absolutely recommend this as a great, cheap alternative to one of the units from a big box store.
 Outstanding product September 7, 2010

We ordered the Waste King legend 8000 and received in 2 days. Have had it installed and it is fantastic. Our original disposal, 46 years ago when we built the house, was a Waste King and we are glad to have another. Great Service and a great product.
 Had trouble with cushion mount, but then went smoothly. September 3, 2010

I have put this off as a bad purchase and it was just sitting in my closet for months due to the original box being destroyed and thrown away and hence not being able to return.
First, I received this through "Waste King Direct", which I"m learning is an incompetent and shady company. That explains why I didn't receive any literature/manuals for this product. Second, I'm having a heck of a time trying to install the "cushion mount" rubber seal onto the flange in order to mount the garbage disposal. The "cushion mount" seems to be too big and it won't all for the disposal to mount. Not enough clearance for the "tab" to be inserted and turned into the groove to be properly secured. But, problem solved, and edited.
Over a very decent disposal, except for the flimsy - cheap - plastic enclosure....

After reading reviews here I changed my mind from the Disposal I had planned to buy and purchased the Waste King. The life time warranty sounded like icing on the cake. I bought direct from Waste king. The purchase was painless and the shipping and handling was great. I would recommend them to anyone. I'm like some others whose reviews I read and was surprised it was housed in plastic but so is most other products now days. Installation using the easy connection method instead of the 3 bolt method went smoothly with all my plumbing fitting up to it only requiring me to mount a receptical on the end of the electrical wire since this disposal has a plug on the cord. I haven't used it long enough to recommend it's operation but will update after some time in use. it is a little loud but not as loud as my old one that was much smaller. I told my wife to run some soapy water through it to see if it helps like some said. trasher1940@gmail.com
Just works August 30, 2010

It was easy to install, it is relatively quiet, and while I can't say we've really tried to put the thing through its paces, so far, we've had no problems with it whatever.
I would definitely buy this model again.
