Right before we left for Christmas our disposal died. That in itself is not a big deal, but we dismantled it to see if it could be fixed and then realized that the dishwasher connects into the disposal. We capped one pipe so we would have half our sink to do dishes.
After some quick research we ended up with the Waste King L-2600 Legend Series 1/2 HP Continuous Feed Operation Waste Disposer. Amazon had it on sale for $56.00.
Why the 1/2 HP and not the massive 1HP you ask. I compost so we don't put a ton of food down the disposal (there are studies that putting food through the waste water system can cause eutrophication). So we just needed something that handled a few scraps left on plates and the occasional fork. Plus the 1/2 HP is a lot smaller, saving room under the sink.
Installation: WAS A BREEZE! This is the first garbage disposal I have ever installed.(Jared was so sick and I didn't want to wait a few more days). It took me about 40 minutes from start to finish. Waste Kings directions were easy to follow. Their design requires no screws, it has a gasket system that just slip on and twist to seal and is a one person job.
It been going strong for a month without any leaks.
