From the Manufacturer Waste King L-1001 Legend Series 1/2 HP Continuous Feed Operation Garbage Disposer. Fast & Easy Mounting, Corrosion Proof Grind Chamber and Drain Housing, Safe for Properly Sized Septic Tanks Review: Quiet and powerful, not too difficult to install - If you are desperately looking for a new garbage disposal for a DIY installation, do yourself a favor and try this one out! I am not a professional plumber but I could set this up myself.. not without any trouble though. It wasn't this garbage disposal that was giving me the trouble, it was removing the old unit that took me longer than expected. I had a common 3 bolt type disposal and taking it out had me use more force than I anticipated. But eventually I could take it out with the help of the two screwdrivers and a piler. Be careful not to damage your pipes and kitchen sink when you remove your old unit. Be sure to disconnect the pipes first before twisting your old unit out or you could end up damaging the pipes before the installation even begins. Anyway, back to the product review, the instructions were clear, and it fits perfectly into the kitchen sink. It's compact and much thinner than my old unit. The quietness of this machine is impressive, it is so much quieter compared to my old unit. I was provided with all the tools I needed except for one, which is plumber putty, you will need to purchase that to seal the gap between the sink and the disposal to prevent water leaks. You can follow the instructions manual it provided but I would recommend watching the video on YouTube "How to replace a garbage disposal by LRN2DIY" He uses exactly the same brand but just different HP, but instructions are pretty much the same. Highly recommended! If a first time like me can do it, you can too! Review: Good buy - recommend to most people compact but a bit noise - Waste King L-1001 Legend Series 1/2 HP Continuous Feed Operation Waste Disposer This is a great product and I can highly recommend it. There are pros and cons like everything else: Pros: compact size, easy to install, ships with everything you'll need in the box, removable splash guard, reset button located in the front of unit, 3 prong power cord, 2 year warranty. Cons: Somewhat noise during operation, not a direct replacement to other brands mount assembly, does not have the wrench hole on the bottom in case it ever jams (will need to use a wood spoon or broom handle if ever happens). The box comes with everything you'll need to install it, including a rubber gasket for S.S. sinks. I found it very easy to install and I'm very satisfied with the final result. Initially I planned to buy a unit that I could re-use the mount assembly that is already installed on the sink but removing the old one and cleaning up was the part that took longer. Installing the new one was a breeze - no plumber putty needed if installing on S.S. sinks. The unit comes wired with a three prong power cord - you'll need an switched outlet under the sink and I recommend it. My house had a direct wire from the wall to the old disposer and I just installed a box with an outlet on it. It gives you peace of mind to unplug the disposer anytime you drop something inside it and need to get your hand there to remove the object. This unit will mount a bit higher than my old one under the sink so the discharge elbow pipe (included) will be about 2 inches high but it still fit with my old plumbing without any changes. THIS UNIT IS NOT SOUND INSULATED, THEREFORE THE SMALL SIZE. It is noisier than my old one with a low frequency rumble but I find the tradeoff between space saving under the sink and the 5 seconds noise acceptable. If you are worried about that look for the larger sound insulated units instead and you won't have any worries. This unit does not have that Allen wrench hole on the bottom in case it jams. The manual recommends to remove the splash guard - it slides right on and off - and use a broom handle to clear the jam. I found the removable splash guard a nice touch - it can look bad after a while and it is easy to order a $3 replacement and just slide it in. You can also easily remove it to fit your hand inside to pick something you dropped there. It also comes with a stopper included in the box. The mount assembly (the black part on the picture that connects to the sink) is made of hard plastic, however the part that is visible inside the sink has a S.S. top metal ring built in. It looks and feels of very good quality. The reset button is located in front of the unit, very easy to reach in case it ever pops out. The whole package comes in a box without any messy foam; an excellent English/Spanish/French paper manual included, 800 number in case of installation doubts and even on-line video of the installation on the manufacturer website. You may or may not use it with a dishwasher, just remove the plug if you want to install the dishwasher discharge hose. Overall, I'm satisfied and well recommend this unit to most households where sound during the operation is not an issue.

The cushion mount slipped out of the mount ring on the second day.Is vibration a problem?** A: The Easy Mount doesn't seal well on a SS sink. I've had a plumber out a couple of times to remedy the sink seal. Last fix was a couple of years ago and we just discovered it's leaking again. **Q: What does "lifetime" mean. If I am 25 and it konks out when I am 50, what do I get? Is it pro-rated?** A: This is the best. I bought mine in 2013 (5 years ago) and its worked perfectly, until a couple of days ago, it would not start. Power to GFCI plug on, reset button tripped. When I reset the button, it came on about 1/2 second and stopped. Troubleshooting indicates the brushes on the electromagnetic motor need replacement. I called Anaheim customer service (the company that manufactures Waste King and all they needed was the original purchase date, my name, and the serial number from the unit. A brand new replacement unit should arrive in a couple of days. Zero charge for the unit or shipping fee. They offered to have a plumber come install it too, also no charge, however, since I’m pretty handy, I don’t need that. The total time on the call to resolve the warranty replacement was about 15 minutes, due to an approximate 3 minute wait time to speak to the representative. All is needed to complete the warranty process is the serial number tag from the existing unit and the serial number from the new one, mailed back in to Anaheim Manufacturing. Easy peasy!! Great service and they stand behind the lifetime warranty! **Q: I need to replace an insinkerator badger 5. would this be able to b installed easily where the old one was w/o having to reinstall the drain partstall** A: Won't fit your existing badger drain flange (same system used by most brands). You will have to remove yours and replace it with the included Waste King drain flange in order to mount the new unit. **Q: I am looking for a unit that will be direct wired (no outlet). Will this unit work?** A: I direct wired it but it wasn't easy to remove the plug. I ended up having to cut the cord and mutilate the grommet the cord went through in order to get it out. In my opinion if there's one without a cord that's a few dollars more I'd buy that one. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quiet and powerful, not too difficult to install *by R***K on June 24, 2025* If you are desperately looking for a new garbage disposal for a DIY installation, do yourself a favor and try this one out!

Waste King L-1001 Legend Series 1/2 HP Continuous Feed Operation Waste Disposer ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strong and reliable, just a little loud *by M***K on August 12, 2026* I've been using this for a few years now and it has held up really well. Installation was straightforward and it came with everything needed to get it up and running quickly. The power is impressive, strong enough to handle pretty much anything you throw at it without jamming or struggling, and the functionality has been flawless since day one. No odors coming from the sink either which is always a good sign. The one downside is the noise. It's louder than I expected, not the end of the world but definitely something you notice every time you flip the switch. If noise is a concern for you just keep that in mind. For the price though you're getting a solid, reliable disposal that gets the job done year after year. Worth it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Waste King 1/2 HP Garbage Disposal with Power Cord for Kitchen Sink Food Waste, L-1001 - Waste King Black Disposer EZ Mount Garbage Disposal Stopper and Splash Guard for Sink Drain, 1025 - Waste King Garbage Disposal Dishwasher Connector Kit - 1023 , Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1090040-garbage-disposal-for-kitchen-sink-with-power-cord-l-1001](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1090040-garbage-disposal-for-kitchen-sink-with-power-cord-l-1001) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
