Reviewers and owners agree the Waste King Legend 8000 1 Horsepower Disposer is best for quickly and finely grinding bones and vegetables. In fact, its 2,800-rpm grinding blades are the fastest we found. Although experts rate the noise level as good overall, this garbage disposal isn't the quietest. Waste King provides an impressive lifetime in-home warranty, due to the stainless-steel grinding components and corrosion-resistant grinding chamber. Installation, owners say, is easy for experienced do-it-yourselfers, particularly if replacing an existing continuous-feed disposal (so the switch is already wired). If you want to spend less or need a more compact unit, reviewers highly recommend the Waste King Legend 2600 1/2 Horsepower Disposer (*Est. $75).
We found the best professional reviews of the Waste King Legend 8000 1 Horsepower Disposer at ConsumerReports.org, where it's pitted against 12 other models of continuous-feed garbage disposals. We also read numerous owner-written reviews at Amazon.com, where the Waste King garbage disposal receives mostly positive remarks. At Bestcovery.com, writer Mariette Mifflin recommends garbage disposals in five different categories; however, she doesn't perform her own testing and we don't know her sources. HowStuffWorks.com provides background information about the Waste King brand without recommending specific models or conducting performance testing.
