I bought and installed this one 16 years ago. This morning about 6:16 am my wife was washing dishes. Opened the cabinet doors underneath the sink. Hey hun! Got a leak. I had just got up. Jumped into action with morning wood. Put on headlamp. Found leak at discharge flange. They call it a anti-vibration tailpipe mount. Dis-assymbled , it was disfigured. In the Inner diameter on the drain discharge was a white plastic piece that extended into the disposal. It was warped from the heat which disfigured the rubber seal. They tell you not to run hot water trough it. Duh! The dish washer runs through the disposal. Goofy don't ya think. It did last 16 years. On a positive for the company. I called them and told them what the problem was. They said they would send a new anti-vibration piece at no charge. Imagine that! Unheard of. Happy wife, happy life.
Hey there, @mikegreen761. Thank you very much for watching and sharing your experience with us. 16 years are pretty impressive for a rubber piece, even a high-quality one. Though I will start warning people about the hot water from the dishwasher. This is valuable information. I assume everything went back to normal once you replaced it with the new one they sent? Wishing you and the wife all the best ^^.
Hi, Patriotsoul! Hope you enjoyed the video. We're actually putting together a review video for the Waste King L8000 1HP and planning on releasing it very soon. In the mean time, you could check out our written review on the L8000 on the website following the link below. Many thanks for watching and much love! healthykitchen101.com/garbage-disposals/reviews/waste-king/waste-king-l-8000/
We haven't tested any garbage disposals with batch feed control yet. But we're going to as soon as we have the opportunity. For the meantime, check out the other reviews on continuous feed garbage disposals that we've already done (healthykitchen101.com/garbage-disposals/) and subscribe to our channel to get notifications on new videos. Thank you for watching and for the request. Have a good one!
You can adapt this unit to a batch feed config call in sink erator up and ask for the part number.. the batch feed loses HP and looses gow many ways it grinds up food. also kitchen aid makes a batch feed unit of this level also
Too bad they don't make them like they used to . I have a 1968 I-S-E -- 77 1/2 Hp and I have a 1972 Maytag FC10 1/2 Hp and I have a 1980 Kitchenaid 1/2 Hp . That ISE 77 has a 1/2 Hp reversaeamatic it has Cast Flywheel and cast shredder. The hammers are fixed and don't budge they are triangle and one is right next to the shredder ring the other offset , then it has the smashing spikes and other things. The Maytag is my Favorite . These monster they used to demo it with it grinding up nails this thing has a huge cast ring on it and under cutters under the flywheel that snips stringy debris. The hammers float above the flywheel on bearing and bump into a rubber stop, the only downside is no reverse on it. The Kitchenaid is just has a Cast grind ring and flywheel with huge fixed fins and there are slots that undercut the flywheel. Old Maytags and Old Waste kings are the best grinders I have every had. I also have a commercial Ise 1 Hp , commercial Bus boy 3/4 Hp and a commercial Waste king 3/4 Hp. I have had the Maytag full of steak bones and it plowed right through them no problems at all.
Hello there, @wes2460. Thanks so much for watching our video and for sharing with us. A reverse feature on small garbage disposals is such a novel idea these days. Only top-of-the-line grinders like the Evolution Excel have them. Now, not even advanced 3/4-HP units have them. At least, that has been our experience. It’s interesting to know impellers used to be fixed. I guess that’s why they called them hammers then. Anyway, we hope you enjoy the video and what we’re doing. Like the video and subscribe to our channel if you haven’t already. We appreciate every bit of support. All the best.
