I didn't install it. I had a plumber do it because it is one horsepower and the other was 3/4 horsepower which lets you know that it is a little larger and therefore, the pipes had to be shortened. I wanted him to do that. He told me it was an excellent garbage disposal. I agree with him. Even though it is 1/4 horsepower larger, it is more quite than the last one I owned. I also love the twenty year warranty and the price I bought it for on eBay was exceptional. Can you imagine the Badger 3/4 horsepower I looked at only had a two year warranty and this one as a twenty year warranty. That tells you that the maker of the Waste King knows they made an excellent product.

Works fine unless you empty a half or more full sink of water (this is clean water). Then the thing tries to tear the whole sink out. No idea why. I suspect the blades get out of sync with each other combined with the looseness of the "easy-mount" system (no rigid support to disposal) causes the vibrations. I suspect that because it doesn't vibrate all the time- it's on and off, while running and moving the water. I'm going to have to install some kind of stabilization to see if it will work. Don't know what else to do.

On balance, it's probably the top of the line garbage disposal available.....that's why the company's warranty is the best. They also have excellent customer service. Be advised that it is a little bit noisier than the equivalent 1 hp. InSinkErator. However it does grind kitchen waste at 2,800 RPM vs, !,725, so I'm willing to cut them some slack.

My badger 5 stopped working and I wanted something that would be powerful, last, and quiet. I looked around and the reviews on the l8000 said it was a great machine for a great price. I just received it and installed it using the easy setup features. And sure enough it was easy, fast, and very quiet. I was impressed with the large amount of sound insulation put around the motor itself. The entire motor is enclosed with sound insulation. It also comes with a lifetime in-house warranty in case it fails to work. I think this is one of the best products I have purchased for the home.

Just finished installing the unit. It's heavy at 15 lbs. Rubber gasket MUST be placed properly or it won't connect. Found the solution on YouTube, then it went right in. Good thing, because it gets heavy REAL fast when you hold it in one hand and try to turn the Quick Connector with the other. This thing is GREAT! You Tube's full of videos that prove it'll obliterate a complete chicken carcass, so that's good to know. It's fairly quiet, though it'll get louder when it's working hard, but not obnoxiously so. One HP is WAY more than one needs, but the lifetime warranty sold me on this unit. I LOVE this thing! It's better to have too much power than not enough. It would take a LOT to stall this thing, and it's also a batch feed unit. Turn on the water, turn on the unit, then shovel all the waste you want down it. I HIGHLY recommend this unit either as a new installation or a replacement.Read full review
