    5.0 out of 5 stars Good replacement for a defective In-Sink-Erator
    Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2015
    7/1/2015: I finally got around to installing this beast, ordered a few weeks ago. The plumbing under my sink still needs some work, and that is what actually took up most of my time. (I plan on redoing it.) The problem under my sink is that the house was built in 1940, before garbage disposals, and the inlet in the wall is higher than it should be. Short of tearing out the cabinets and the plaster wall to move the current line or install a new one, we have to work around it. The In-Sink-Erator (ISE) has been "retired" due to the common problem with the housing cracking on the side. A former brand I trusted in two other houses, now isn't worth bothering with (at least not their cheaper Badger line of products, where all the failures are at).

    Aside from the plumbing, the Waste King is a cinch to install. I had the old ISE removed within a couple of minutes. Since it was a stainless sink, the ISE was attached with a rubber gasket. The Waste King was shipped with the EZ Mount system, and it is very simple to screw the new flange into the stainless sink with the rubber gasket (no plumber's putty required). I hand-tightened it, then gave it a few taps with a small hammer for good measure. For the mounting collar on the disposal, I used a bit of dish soap where the pins on the mounting flange rest, so it made tightening up that collar a bit easier.

    If you're wondering--the Waste King will fit in place of an ISE with no modification to the plumbing. However, you will still need to remove the outlet pipe, as you need to swap out the metal bracket that holds it to the side of the disposal, as the one provided with the Waste King is smaller. (The larger ISE bracket touches the plastic housing and won't rest completely flush.) While you have the pipe off, replace the rubber washer. My ISE's washer was still good, and exactly the same size, but it's best to start fresh and prevent problems.

    Plumbing tip--does that sewer smell gag you like it does me? I keep a $1 can of Glade air freshener close by, and give the area under the sink a healthy shot of it every so often as I'm working. It doesn't make a disgusting job completely better, but it does make it livable. And lunch is saved. ;)

    As for grinding performance, the claim is that the motor is faster. It does seem to take longer to grind food, but I believe that is because the Waste King is chopping the particles finer, as there are very small openings inside the grinding chamber compared to the ISE. I'll live with that, as it will save me from having to either use a plunger or disassemble the pipes to clear them out from clogs, which the ISE did on a regular basis. (Even just a few stray potato peels were enough to clog up the system--the ISE just never ground them up!)

    The Waste King is also quieter than the ISE. The (removable!) rubber splash guard keeps the innards quieter without needing to partially insert the drain plug. And it seems to vibrate less on the sink than the ISE ever did.

    This is a good, solid replacement for the ISE Badger. So far, it is operating nicely. If that changes, I will be back with an update.

    5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, easy installation
    Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2013
    The seller was Amazon. I purchased it new for 127 bucks in October 2013.

    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.
