Waste King Garbage Disposal

Following the advice of a number of strong reviews, and noting the lifetime in-home service warranty, we purchased this Waste King Garbage Disposal. After a month of use, we are adding our strong positive review. It seems that Waste King puts their engineering into efficiency and durability, and less into external appearance of the unit, but that is fine with us -- who needs a pretty food disposal? It works very well, and we are highly satisfied.

Waste King Garbage Disposal 8000

I don't know that much about waste disposers. My Plumber told me to just look for a disposer that was 3/4 horse power or better with stainless inners. My old disposer was a cheap one installed by the builder and the inners were not stainless. It rusted until the blades would not turn. I went to Consumer Reports to determine which disposer to purchase.
The Waste King Garbage Disposal 8000 Lengend Series 1 HP Continuous Feed Operation Waste Disposer was the one recommened by Consumer Reports. Buying this disposer on Amazon.com, I believe saved me about half (the disposer plus shipping without tax) of what I could do elsewhere. It arrived quickly and in the original sealed box. My plumber just installed the garbage disposer, so I haven't used it. But, I have had it on and it is fairly quite. He indicated he had read the Consumer Reports article and agreed that it was a good disposer. However, he did indicate you could get better commercial grade disposers at places like Lowes. However, he also stated that it would cost at least twice as much.
