 Great Product for the Price September 8, 2010
S. Moorthy (VA)
At first I was skeptical about the product, thinking "You get what you pay for", but after purchasing the product, Installing myself and later running it, I gotta say that this is an amazing product for the price I paid. Installation was a breeze. It's been a month now and the product works great. No problems with shipping. I will recommend / buy this product again if need be.
Great Product, Great Price, Easy Installation September 2, 2010

Got this to replace my 12-year-old 1/3 HP ISE Badger 1. It fit without having to cut anything or get any additional parts. Installation took about 2.5 hours, broken down more or less as follows: find tools and remove old disposal and clean sink drain area (1 hour); connect end of hard-wired electrical wires to rubber grounded plug -- which I also got on Amazon -- Leviton 000-515CR-000 15 Amp Rubber Grounding Plug, Black (.5 hour); install new disposal (.5 hour); identify source of very small seepage leak in drain pipes -- not from outflow pipe that went in with the disposal, but from a joint on the other side of the U drain that got jostled a little in the installation and was probably a little loose to begin with, and find right tool to tighten (.5 hour). I recommend using vaseline or liquid dish detergent at the top of the disposal -- I used the detergent -- as recommended in the instructions to help get the disposal tightened properly. Also recommend -- as the instructions recommend -- familiarizing yourself with how the bottom rubber ring fits in the drain assembly before you try to install it for real under the sink. Disposal works great and is quieter than the one it replaced.

Tammy Matthews (Kansas City, MO United States)
I purchased this garbage disposal to replace a broken one in my rental house. I've never installed one before, but after reading the reviews on here and watching a few YouTube videos, I decided to save some money and install in myself.
Hopefully, some of this information can be helpful to you...
Remove the power cord - 10 minutes
My old garbage disposal was hard wired so the first thing I did was remove the power cord attached to the unit. I knew this was going to be difficult to remove, thanks to other posters on here, so I decided to do it before I actually went to the rental house. A few days before installation, I sat down in front of the TV, grabbed a utility knife, and slowly cut away the black rubber stopper (strain relief). Eventually, I was able to detach the rubber stopper and pull out the power cord. You will also have to cut the power cord in half because the plug is too large to fit through the hole in the unit.
Remove the old garbage disposal - 15 minutes
Before you do anything, turn off the power supply to the garbage disposal! I suggest watching some YouTube videos of people removing old garbage disposals. These videos can be extremely helpful as you can see exactly how to detach the disposal. It can be a bit tricky and I would never have known to use a screw driver to loosen it, or that there is a tiny metal ring that you have to pry out before the mounting unit will come apart. Basically, unhook the wiring, the drain pipe, and the dishwasher hose. Unscrew the three bolts, then use a screw driver to loosen the garbage disposal. Once it's removed, dismantle the mounting unit. You do that by prying out this thin metal ring. Again...check out some videos online.
Installing the new garbage disposal - 60 minutes
When you disassemble the EZ mounting unit, be sure to notice exactly how it all fits together. This was a pain for me, as I couldn't figure out how the actual garbage disposal connected to the mounting unit. The last two pieces of the mounting unit are a metal ring and a black rubber ring. For the life of me I couldn't figure out how those two pieces held onto the garbage disposal. It wasn't until I went back to the instructions and noticed an insert with some extra 'important' instructions that helped me out. Anyway, this was very frustrating and took me about 20 - 30 minutes to figure out, but once I did, it's easy.
Make sure the sink is clean before you begin. If you don't have a stainless steel sink, purchase some plumbers putty before you begin. Begin from the top down, installing the EZ mount unit. Once the unit is attached to the sink, then you'll need to attach the actual garbage disposal. If you had a dishwasher hose running from the old unit, don't forget to pop out the white plastic stopper out of the new unit. Just use a hammer and a screw driver and it pops right out. Also, I attached my wiring (black on black and then white on white) before I attached the garbage disposal to the mounting unit. I don't think it matters either way, it was just easier for me to do.
I didn't need to use the black piece of plumbing pipe that came with the unit as my old piping was a perfect fit. But unfortunately, the rubber seal around the pipe that fit into the garbage disposal was still stuck in the old one, so I didn't realize it was gone...when I attached the pipe and eventually turned on the water, it leaked everywhere. I thought I really screwed up, but quickly realized my mistake. I just removed the black rubber seal off the piping that came with the new disposal, reattached the plumbing, and all was good! Turned the power back on...and voila...it worked.
Anyway, ladies, if I can do it, you can do it too. In total, after researching, watching videos and actually installing, it probably took me a little over 2 hours. However, if I did it again tomorrow, I really feel like I could do it in about 40 minutes. :)
Very satisfied August 30, 2010

Surprisingly sufficient power (I had a 1 HP of a different brand previously). Very easy to install (took 5 minutes) as it came with wires attached already. I would buy this brand again.
Pretty Awesome as Disposal's go August 28, 2010
TJ Finlinson (Orem, Utah, US)
The other great reviews helped me decide to purchase the waste king 2600. So far I am very happy with the purchase. We replaced a Badger 5 1/2 Horse Power disposal. We have had it installed for a few days and we are enjoying it. It is much quieter than the Badger.
I really liked the EZ Attachment that it comes with. It took about 30 minutes to install, that included taking the old one out. I didn't have to do any adjustments with my plumbing under the sink. We do not have a stainless steel sink so I made sure I had Plumbers Putty to do the install into the sink. So far I really like it and the price was awesome. I would recommend this brand of disposal to anyone that is replacing one or building their kitchen.
One thing that helped me was to go the the Waste King website and watch the installation video as well as when I got the product to make sure I understood exactly how the parts fit together. It recommends that in the manual and it's worth the time to make sure you know how it works above the sink rather than waiting until you are already under the sink.
