Waste King L-2600 2600 Garbage Disposer, Silver

I purchaced this item on UK Amazon, no refrence to USA. Goods arrived from USA with American plug and 110/120 volts , UK is 220/240 volts . if used it could have cought fire, had to send back to USA , now awaiting refund!!!!

Very useful product to get rid of kitchen basin choke ups. In India must be used with ELC 300-Watt Voltage converter 220 v to 110 v travel power converter from Amazon. Needs to be installed by plumber

This replaced my InSinkErator Badger 1 that has failed twice on me in the last 10 years. Both units ending up leaking on me. I was fed up with the Badger 1 and took a chance that the Waste King L-2600 would be an easy replacement. It was!! The Waste King was a direct replacement and the pipes lined up perfectly with the Badger 1 so no re-plumbing was needed. Installation was easy and straight forward after reading through the instructions. I removed the old waste disposal and installed the new one in 30 minutes!! The Waste King L-2600 is fairly quiet. There is a clunking / clicking noise on startup but the manual says that's expected as that's the anti-jam mechanism activating. With the water running and then turning on, you can't hear the clicking / clunking noise so not an issue. So how does it compare? Waste King L-2600 compared to the InSinkErator Badger 1 Pros: - more powerful (1/2 HP vs 1/3 HP) - better warranty (5 yrs vs 1 yr) - better quality, stainless steel components vs galvanised steel on the Badger 1, which rusted out - quieter - easier installation - prewired with a plugin cord (Badger needed to install the plugin cord kit) Cons - none Here's hoping this one will last!

I purchased this off of Amazon France. It did not state voltage in description. It did state manufactured in Italy. It came to France with an American plug and voltage that works in America and not France. There is no way to convert this safely!! I had to return to the US!! As far as I can tell, you just can’t get one of these in France - perhaps due to restrictions. Now I’m out the postage money. For those of you who order this thinking surely all of these people leaving the same type of review that it is not compatible just got a shipment mistake - that is wrong. Through all of this I called the manufacturer and they don’t make these to work in Europe. It is not being sold by the on Amazon but rather through a third party supplier so they can’t pull the listing.

I've had this for over a month now and feel I can make a more qualified review. I replaced a leaking Insinkerator Badger 5 with this unit. The Insinkinerator was leaking from the bottom where the direct wired power connects to it which apparently is a very common problem and I would think very dangerous. I purchased the EZ mount version and and true enough, installation was very easy. Instructions were very clear and it was a direct drop-in replacement for the old Insinkerator. The dish washer feed line and exit pipe all lined up nicely and I didn't have to get someone to re-do any piping. Do NOT forget to punch out the block for the dish washer line if you have a dish washer. :) It took a lot longer to remove the 3-bolt Insinkerator than to install this unit. Performance-wise, it is much quieter and has no issues chewing through what we've throw at it (mostly organic material) even when the chamber is full. Another plus is that the rubber splash guard is removable so it can be easily replaced down the line once it gets nasty. For the price, easy installation, and lengthy warranty, you can't go wrong with this unit.

Worst product, Worst service. When the time of purchase it was showing 5 years warranty. With in a month it stopped working. No option showing for product support. Even there is no option to reach out Amazon customer care.
