Review: Love it so far; good upgrade over ISE Badger - The old 1/3 HP ISE Badger garbage disposal in my house was in the house when I bought the home 10 years ago so the old disposer is AT LEAST that old. It worked pretty well for these 10 years, but during that time it would jam frequently which required me to use the wrench tool to release the jam. Last week, the disposal started inexplicably leaking from the bottom whenever I ran the water on that side of the sink. I didn't spend much time trying to fix it since I had been putting replacing it anyway and decided to go ahead and purchase a new one. I originally wanted a 1 HP model, but saw that the 1/2 HP was half the price and STILL more powerful than my existing one so I opted for the L-2600 Legend instead. Another plus is that it is much cheaper on desertcart then what I find in the B & M stores. So even though I had to wait a few days it sure beats paying double for comparable models in the local stores. The day after the disposal arrived, I went to my local hardware store to purchase the tools I thought I would need and based on what the instruction manual said. The things I purchased separately are as follows. 1) Plumber's Putty 2) Mini Hacksaw 3) Pipe Wrench 4) Wire Nuts 5) Assortment of different sized strain reliefs (called Clamp connectors in the store). Because I couldn't figure out what size I needed I purchased 3/8", 1/2" and 1 1/4". 6) Assortment of water tight connectors just in case Out of these things I only needed the Plumber's putty and one of the Clamp connectors I purchased (3/8" with 1/2" knockout). I returned the unused strain reliefs to the store but kept the hacksaw and pipe wrench to use for future projects. Function This disposal is amazingly quieter than my old ISE, which is good since I just replaced a noisy 10+ year old dishwasher last year. It seems to have no issues grinding up old food or jamming which my ISE seemed to do frequently. I think this is a good relatively inexpensive replacement for your old broken disposal or just as a nice upgrade. I purchased the 1/2 HP because I didn't want to spend too much since it was an unexpected expense. But from what I've read, for most people the 1 HP (Waste King L-8000 Legend Series 1.0-Horsepower Continuous Feed Garbage Disposal) is better especially if you have a big family and/or frequently have a lot of guests over for parties or what not. Neither of these apply to me and since 1/2 HP was STILL more powerful than the 1/3 that came with my home, I was still coming out ahead. INSTALLATION (DIFFICULTY) Power Cord -- Can it be removed? ---------------------------------------------- Before I continue, many people (like myself) may wonder if the Power Cord is removable, the short answer is yes its removable, I removed mine because all the appliances in my home are hard wired Here are the steps I did to remove the cord while preserving it if I want to go back and use it later 1. Unscrew the metal plate on the bottom of the disposal. 2. Find the wires that run from the power cord (should be a white, black and copper wire) 3. Depending on how the wires are connected you may have to use a wire cutter to free the wire from the connector. Mine wasn't connected with wire nuts, but a plastic connector that seemed to be a permanent connection so it couldn't be twisted off. So what I did is stick a utility knife under the plastic connector and cut away at the exposed wire until it came out. I repeated this for the other wire. 4. To remove the copper ground wire, I just unscrewed the green screw to release it. 5. Removing the power cord assembly is a little harder; to do this I inserted a flathead screwdriver end under the rubber plug and pryed it out; this take a few tries as its in there pretty good. A WORD OF WARNING: DO NOT use a utility knife to try to pry it out, I stupidly tried this since I was too lazy to go to my tool box to get the proper tool and ended up stabbing myself in the thumb with the knife after it slipped, after learning my lesson I got the flathead screwdriver instead. 6. Once the rubber plug is released you should now be able to pull the power plug out through the opening. 7. Don't forget to use a wire stripper to prepare the remaining wire under the disposal to connect to your existing wires in your home. ---------------------------------------------- Installation of the Waste King itself was pretty simple; removing the old one...not so much. Prior to me installing a range hood and a dishwasher last year I had no experience installing appliances, but I was able to install this disposal by just following the instructions provided in the manual. Comparing this install to my range hood (non-vented), and my dishwasher, i would say it's harder than installing the range hood but slightly easier than installing the dishwasher. My old disposal wasn't connected to my dishwasher so I decided not to connect the Waste King to it either. I may go back and connect it later on, just not right now. If you want to read on about my installation experience it starts below, otherwise you can stop reading right here. INSTALLATION (TIME AND PROCESS) The install took me 7+ hours. Not because the new garbage disposal was hard to install, it was because the old one was such a pain to get out. While I had no issue getting the disposal itself out, the old sink flange was virtually impossible because it looks like the people who installed this disposal screwed the mounting bracket on too tight and ABOVE the threading on the lower part of the sink flange. As a result, no matter how many times I turned the mounting bracket it wouldn't go anywhere because it wasn't catching the threads to move down and come loose. If the sink flange and mounting bracket weren't so old, I would have just installed the Waste King over on that using the Easy Mount adapter kit, (which I bought separately just in case). But because it was so old and I really wanted to switch to the easy mount system anyway, I was determined to get it off. Normally, after removing the old disposal, you should be able to screw the mounting bracket off from under the sink and lift the sink flange up from the top of the sink. However because the mounting bracket just would not screw off because it didn't seem to be able to catch the threading. I decided to try to bend the edges of the sink flange that sits on top of the sink far enough so I could push it down through the sink instead of lifting it up. However I had no idea was I was getting myself into when deciding to try this. This process alone took a good 4 to 5 hours because whenever I would bend one side another part would stick out making it too wide to go through. After about 3 hours of using my wrenches (the hacksaw I bought was useless in cutting the flange), I went to the garage and got my tree branch cutters to try to cut the old flange so I could bend it more. The branch cutters made the job a little easier but still took almost two hours to get the flange bent enough so that I could push a part of it under the sink so I finally hammer the rest through. I also ended up slightly damaging the circular opening of my sink in doing this, but hopefully the plumbers putty will continue to stop any leaks as a result of the damage. UPDATE: Turns out I made this much harder than it needed to be. After examining the old sink flange assembly after removing it, I noticed a metal ring around the top of the threading that was preventing the bracket from screwing off. I did see this when trying to get it off but didn't know what that it was a separate piece and I thought it was part of the threading. Just out of curiosity I inserted a flat head screw driver around the edges of the metal ring and it popped right off making the mounting bracket easy to screw off. I am kicking myself for not seeing this before and it would have saved me 4 hours and would have prevented the damaged I caused. Oh well, I'll know for next time and hopefully you won't make the same mistake I did. After FINALLY getting the old sink flange off, installing the new disposal with the EZ Mount System was pretty simple. I put the new sink flange in and following the instructions, checking for and correcting any water leaks before I continued. While following the EZ mount instructions I didn't think the rubber cushion would be strong enough to hold the disposal without falling down, but a quick check showed that it would hold. After getting the sink flange prepared to hold the disposal next was the task of connecting the wiring. If you have an outlet under your sink, then USE it, it saves about a half hour of labor. Unfortunately I don't have an outlet under my sink and I didn't want to incur the extra expense of installing one under there, so I had to stick with hard wiring. As far as connectors go, I ended up using one of the water tight connectors instead of the 3/8" clamp connectors I originally planned to use. Reason being is that while testing out the connectors to see which ones would fit, the water tight connector was a perfect fit and I just never took it off and after the ordeal of getting the old sink flange off, I didn't want to waste any more time. I used my tool box to lay the waste king on then I connected it to the wiring in my home. The hardest thing here was getting the ground wire around the green screw. So I just ended up taking the green screw out completely, placing the ground wire directly over the hole, and then screwing the green screw back in. After I had the disposal connected to my wiring, all that was left was to mount the Waste King to the sink flange. This was incredibly easy and only required hammering to get the notch to the locked position. After mounting the Waste King now was the time to reconnect all the pipes. Because I don't run my dishwasher to my Garbage disposal, I only had one pipe to connect and surprisingly, the opening of the waste king was at the exact same level as my old ISE was; so the old pipe lined of perfectly. Everything was now hooked up so I turned the power back on to the disposal and let it run with running water. And SURPRISE!! Leaks! Leaks from under the sink, and leaks from the piping. I applied more plumbers putty under the sink as well as re attached the pipe and tried everything again. This time there were no noticeable leaks but I still am not ready to call the install a success just yet. I did this install on the 26th of March and have been monitoring it periodically for and standing water under my sink. So far no leaks, but I will probably give it another week or so before I'm 100% confident in my install.
Review: Waste King - Good Value and easy to install - This is the second Waste King disposal that I have purchased. The original one lasted more than 10 years....so long I can't really remember. The problem I encountered, which is typical for a disposal, was the failure of the rivet that holds the small blade that breaks down the disposed waste. This new disposal is called the Legends Series model 2600 with the EZ-Mount attachment. It is a 1/2 HP unit replacing a 1/3 HP Pulverator model. The nice thing about the EZ mount is after you install one you will never go back to the 3 bolt mounting system and here is why. When you install disposals that use the 3 bolt flange (including other Waste King models) you need to position yourself under the sink, in very tight quarters with a either a single or a pair of wrenches to secure the disposal to the flange attached to the underside of the sink. This is a bit tedious and once you go through the process you will really appreciate the EZ-mount. Removing the disposal for replacement, to retrieve something dropped into the sink that cannot be grasped from above the sink, or if you have a leak at the gasket between the sink mount and the disposal is laborious with the 3 bolt mounting. I would estimate that it takes about 10 minutes to remove the 3 bolts to drop the disposal out. In comparison the EZ-Mount requires the same effort to attach the sink drain as the 3 bolt system but once it is installed the EZ-Mount has a very clever bayonet style locking device whereby the disposal flange (part of the top of the disposal unit) is lifted up into the EZ-Mount ring and with about a quarter turn of the ring to the right the unit locks in place. If you need to remove the disposal you firmly hold the disposal with one hand and rotate the ring to the left and the disposal disengages from the EZ-Mount. No tools and less than 10 seconds to remove it. And you can do it while sitting on the floor in front of the cabinet instead of being wedged inside it. This is much more user friendly with less chance of straining yourself. Be aware that the EZ-Mount is unique to the Waste King Product line but I can assure you that selecting this unit does not mean you will be trading off performance, quality, or cost. You will get all that plus the ease of install and removal that I mentioned above. So why did I select a ½ HP unit instead of the available Waste King Model 111 (1/3 HP) unit when it costs more and I had no issue with the performance of the old unit? I could have safely opted to go with the Model 111 or the Model 1001 (1/2 HP) unit but the key physical mounting and locations of the plumbing and dishwasher hoses were the same so I opted to move up to the better Model 2600 unit that offered a 5-Year warranty instead of the 2-Year warranty that comes with the 111 and 1001 models. As for prices and detailed information I went to the Waste King site ([...]) and found the following: Model 111 - $65, 4AMP, 1900RPM Model 1001 - $75, 4.5 AMP, 2600 RPM Model 2600 - $100, 4.5 AMP, 2600 RPM I called Waste King's number and learned that shipping was $15 anywhere in the continental United States. With that I was looking at $115 which would have still been a good deal for the unit. I was hoping to buy the unit from one of the big home improvement box stores so I could get the job done right away. I was not able to find the unit but I remembered seeing in my Google search a result for Wal-Mart and desertcart.com. Wal-Mart had the unit for $97+ and it would be delivered to the store in my area within 5 business days for pick-up. I suspect that taxes would be added as well but I did not see any shipping charges so this looked like the best option until I looked at desertcart.com. desertcart had the unit listed at $76.38 and the shipping was free. I ordered the unit on Monday and had it Thursday afternoon (3 days total). Clearly the best price, delivered quickly and it was two steps above the replacement equivalent unit. I am very happy with the product, the installation, the price and delivery service provided by desertcart and would have to rate the entire process as a 5 of 5. Install details: Total time to install the unit was less than 10 minutes since I kept the old EZ-Mount sink flange and gasket in place. I was glad that the unit was so easy to remove because I found that after running the water I did have a leak. When I removed the disposal I found that I pinched the old gasket so I replaced it with the new one and in less than 2 minutes the unit was back in place and water tight. Had I removed all of the old disposal components including the sink flange it would have taken less than 30 minutes to complete the installation. On a difficulty scale I would call it a 2 of 5 provided your old unit has a power cord that plugs into an outlet. It would rate a 4 of 5 on difficulty if the old unit was hard wired directly to the power source and you need to install a GFCI receptacle. My old unit was hardwired so I took the time to update the electric (before the disposal arrived) to include a GFCI receptacle using a metal water tight box with a ½ flex plastic conduit and water tight connectors. This was done to keep water out of the box but it does not protect the face of the receptacle. If you need to install an outlet make sure it is a GFCI device that matches the size of the circuit breaker in your fuse panel. It should a 20-AMP breaker. Note that the Model 2600 disposal only draws 4.5 AMPS of power but with the higher RPM rating it is capable of providing more horse power to speed up the disposal process.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: 1/2 vs 3/4 horse power**
A: We went from the 3/4 to the 1/2 and HATE the 1/2. It doesn’t chew the food up well enough and now the food comes up thru the adjoining sink’s drain. It was properly installed by a plumber btw.

**Q: Can I install it myself?**
A: I guess I'm a "handy" around the house but plumbing and I don't usually get along very well so I generally avoid it at all cost.  None-the-less I couldn't see paying someone to install a garbage disposal.  It turned out to be fairly easy.  The instructions cover about 90% of what I needed to know to do the installation.  The 10% missing stumped me for about an hour.  Overall it took me about 2 hours, probably should have only taken less than an hour.  Plumbing is sometimes is like a black whole for me - I' m in my 60's and still have a mental block with most plumbing issues.  Hope that helps.  : )

**Q: any plastic parts, i.e. case body.=?**
A: the case is plastic and internal is all stainless.

**Q: what about the dishwasher connection?**
A: very easy to connect dishwasher. The connections all fit together so easily.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it so far; good upgrade over ISE Badger

Function This disposal is amazingly quieter than my old ISE, which is good since I just replaced a noisy 10+ year old dishwasher last year. It seems to have no issues grinding up old food or jamming which my ISE seemed to do frequently. I think this is a good relatively inexpensive replacement for your old broken disposal or just as a nice upgrade. I purchased the 1/2 HP because I didn't want to spend too much since it was an unexpected expense. But from what I've read, for most people the 1 HP (Waste King L-8000 Legend Series 1.0-Horsepower Continuous Feed Garbage Disposal) is better especially if you have a big family and/or frequently have a lot of guests over for parties or what not. Neither of these apply to me and since 1/2 HP was STILL more powerful than the 1/3 that came with my home, I was still coming out ahead.

I put the new sink flange in and following the instructions, checking for and correcting any water leaks before I continued. While following the EZ mount instructions I didn't think the rubber cushion would be strong enough to hold the disposal without falling down, but a quick check showed that it would hold. After getting the sink flange prepared to hold the disposal next was the task of connecting the wiring. If you have an outlet under your sink, then USE it, it saves about a half hour of labor. Unfortunately I don't have an outlet under my sink and I didn't want to incur the extra expense of installing one under there, so I had to stick with hard wiring. As far as connectors go, I ended up using one of the water tight connectors instead of the 3/8" clamp connectors I originally planned to use. Reason being is that while testing out the connectors to see which ones would fit, the water tight connector was a perfect fit and I just never took it off and after the ordeal of getting the old sink flange off, I didn't want to waste any more time. I used my tool box to lay the waste king on then I connected it to the wiring in my home. The hardest thing here was getting the ground wire around the green screw. So I just ended up taking the green screw out completely, placing the ground wire directly over the hole, and then screwing the green screw back in. After I had the disposal connected to my wiring, all that was left was to mount the Waste King to the sink flange. This was incredibly easy and only required hammering to get the notch to the locked position. After mounting the Waste King now was the time to reconnect all the pipes. Because I don't run my dishwasher to my Garbage disposal, I only had one pipe to connect and surprisingly, the opening of the waste king was at the exact same level as my old ISE was; so the old pipe lined of perfectly. Everything was now hooked up so I turned the power back on to the disposal and let it run with running water. And SURPRISE!! Leaks! Leaks from under the sink, and leaks from the piping. I applied more plumbers putty under the sink as well as re attached the pipe and tried everything again. This time there were no noticeable leaks but I still am not ready to call the install a success just yet. I did this install on the 26th of March and have been monitoring it periodically for and standing water under my sink. So far no leaks, but I will probably give it another week or so before I'm 100% confident in my install.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Waste King - Good Value and easy to install

This is the second Waste King disposal that I have purchased. The original one lasted more than 10 years....so long I can't really remember. The problem I encountered, which is typical for a disposal, was the failure of the rivet that holds the small blade that breaks down the disposed waste. This new disposal is called the Legends Series model 2600 with the EZ-Mount attachment. It is a 1/2 HP unit replacing a 1/3 HP Pulverator model. The nice thing about the EZ mount is after you install one you will never go back to the 3 bolt mounting system and here is why. When you install disposals that use the 3 bolt flange (including other Waste King models) you need to position yourself under the sink, in very tight quarters with a either a single or a pair of wrenches to secure the disposal to the flange attached to the underside of the sink. This is a bit tedious and once you go through the process you will really appreciate the EZ-mount. Removing the disposal for replacement, to retrieve something dropped into the sink that cannot be grasped from above the sink, or if you have a leak at the gasket between the sink mount and the disposal is laborious with the 3 bolt mounting. I would estimate that it takes about 10 minutes to remove the 3 bolts to drop the disposal out. In comparison the EZ-Mount requires the same effort to attach the sink drain as the 3 bolt system but once it is installed the EZ-Mount has a very clever bayonet style locking device whereby the disposal flange (part of the top of the disposal unit) is lifted up into the EZ-Mount ring and with about a quarter turn of the ring to the right the unit locks in place. If you need to remove the disposal you firmly hold the disposal with one hand and rotate the ring to the left and the disposal disengages from the EZ-Mount. No tools and less than 10 seconds to remove it. And you can do it while sitting on the floor in front of the cabinet instead of being wedged inside it. This is much more user friendly with less chance of straining yourself. Be aware that the EZ-Mount is unique to the Waste King Product line but I can assure you that selecting this unit does not mean you will be trading off performance, quality, or cost. You will get all that plus the ease of install and removal that I mentioned above. So why did I select a ½ HP unit instead of the available Waste King Model 111 (1/3 HP) unit when it costs more and I had no issue with the performance of the old unit? I could have safely opted to go with the Model 111 or the Model 1001 (1/2 HP) unit but the key physical mounting and locations of the plumbing and dishwasher hoses were the same so I opted to move up to the better Model 2600 unit that offered a 5-Year warranty instead of the 2-Year warranty that comes with the 111 and 1001 models. As for prices and detailed information I went to the Waste King site ([...]) and found the following: Model 111 - $65, 4AMP, 1900RPM Model 1001 - $75, 4.5 AMP, 2600 RPM Model 2600 - $100, 4.5 AMP, 2600 RPM I called Waste King's number and learned that shipping was $15 anywhere in the continental United States. With that I was looking at $115 which would have still been a good deal for the unit. I was hoping to buy the unit from one of the big home improvement box stores so I could get the job done right away. I was not able to find the unit but I remembered seeing in my Google search a result for Wal-Mart and Amazon.com. Wal-Mart had the unit for $97+ and it would be delivered to the store in my area within 5 business days for pick-up. I suspect that taxes would be added as well but I did not see any shipping charges so this looked like the best option until I looked at Amazon.com. Amazon had the unit listed at $76.38 and the shipping was free. I ordered the unit on Monday and had it Thursday afternoon (3 days total). Clearly the best price, delivered quickly and it was two steps above the replacement equivalent unit. I am very happy with the product, the installation, the price and delivery service provided by Amazon and would have to rate the entire process as a 5 of 5. Install details: Total time to install the unit was less than 10 minutes since I kept the old EZ-Mount sink flange and gasket in place. I was glad that the unit was so easy to remove because I found that after running the water I did have a leak. When I removed the disposal I found that I pinched the old gasket so I replaced it with the new one and in less than 2 minutes the unit was back in place and water tight. Had I removed all of the old disposal components including the sink flange it would have taken less than 30 minutes to complete the installation. On a difficulty scale I would call it a 2 of 5 provided your old unit has a power cord that plugs into an outlet. It would rate a 4 of 5 on difficulty if the old unit was hard wired directly to the power source and you need to install a GFCI receptacle. My old unit was hardwired so I took the time to update the electric (before the disposal arrived) to include a GFCI receptacle using a metal water tight box with a ½ flex plastic conduit and water tight connectors. This was done to keep water out of the box but it does not protect the face of the receptacle. If you need to install an outlet make sure it is a GFCI device that matches the size of the circuit breaker in your fuse panel. It should a 20-AMP breaker. Note that the Model 2600 disposal only draws 4.5 AMPS of power but with the higher RPM rating it is capable of providing more horse power to speed up the disposal process.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best bang for your buck!

Like the other reviewer, I bought this to replace 20 year old 1HP(Kenmore) disposer which had burnt out one weekend. To be honest I was very intimidated to replace the disposal unit. However, the installation was straightforward and actually quite easy. I had to remove old one, clean some old plumber's putty and make sure contact surface was clean before I put the new one on. There was no plumbers putty included so I did have to run out to buy some which seemed a waste. My old unit used a 3 bolt attachment, but when installing the Waste king I went with the EZ method which was effortless to install. One note that was helpful in reading the other reviews is to put some liquid soap on the gasket of the disposal unit when attaching it to the EZ mount attachment. It will make the job much easier. Finally, the outlet orientation and dishwasher inlet were in just about the exact same spot as the previous disposer. I did need to work on adjusting my plumbing, but I was lucky that they were minor adjustments. The disposer comes with around 2-3 feet of cable with standard 3 prong plug on one end, which I removed prior to installing below the sink since my old unit was hardwired. The instructions will help you with this, but really it was very simple. My only complaint here is that the rubber plug where the wire goes into the unit and prevents moisture from accidentally getting into the unit is actually a molded part of the 3 prong plug assembly and therefore I was not able to re-use it for my hardwired line. It would have been nice to slide it off the 3 prong plug cord and slip it onto my wire and then plug the inlet hole. After I rewired the unit I tested with just water running to insure there were no leaks and that the unit worked. It works great and runs quiet. In fact I actually removed the splash guard once to make sure the blades were spinning it was so quiet. The removable splash guard is also a nice feature and will be easy to replace over time. My old unit's spash guard was almost non-existent but in order to change it, I would have had to remove the entire unit. I think this is the best bang for your buck these days. First, its quality using stainless steel blades and chamber walls and secondly it comes with 5 year in home and life time rust warranty. I did run to Home Depot and see what they had to offer when I was doing my research. The cheapest disposal on the shelf was a Badger 1/3HP which was actually $99 + tax. But many of the Badger models I researched online and on Amazon did not get rave reviews. I decided on The Waste King 2600 after reading all the reviews and am now writing one due to my complete satisfaction. I was considering the cheaper Waste King 1001 model, but decided to go with the 2600 for the 5 year warranty. Plus the 2600 resembled my old Kenmore unit in shape and size and I assumed it would be more compatible when installing and is one reason I believe that my plumbing adjustments were so minor. I am very satisfied with my purchase and only wish that I had done this sooner. The Waste King 2600 1/2HP motor works just as good as my old 1HP Kenmore unit. Plus, it doesn't stink when running like an old 20 year old unit.
