The box has every thing you need to install the unit and including clear instructions. I've only had it installed for a month but I can say it works 10x better than my old whirlpool and is much quieter. I would recommend this unit if you are looking for something reasonabley inexpensive that will get the job done for a small family.

I replaced our old 5/8 HP garbage disposal with this 1/2 HP unit and was quite surpirsed to discover that it does just as good a job. It is a fairly quiet unit and was very easy to install with no assistance. Everything I needed came in the box, it was even pre-wired with a power cord unlike by old unit. I would definately buy another Waste King product.

Gets the job done and is quiet and efficient. One issue was the confusion at the store regarding the order to install this with the dishwasher. When the installers came I was required to pay for the second installation, even though I had paid for both installations with one purchase item. The issue was finally resolved, but not without difficulty. Finally, the installers left and the sink drain leaked. Lesson: Make sure you get what you pay for in the installation.

Replaced a Badger disposal. Setup, installation very easy, good directions, etc. Quiet, powerful and price was great. Would definitely recommend.

I had to get this at the last minute when I purchased a new dishwasher (see review on 3-30-2014 for Bosch 500 series if interested) because my old Kenmore model had seized up (15 years old). The disposer works well. It says it's an "easy install" and for the most part it is. But I ran into a small hiccup that cost me almost 2 hours. Out of the box you have to be careful when you separate the neck from the body that you re-connect everything under the sink in order. My problem came in trying to separate the neck from the body early on. The instructions show just taking the two apart. But it wasn't that easy - to me. The rubber neck so-to-speak comes out of the body but the instructions didn't spell this out. I was twisting, prying, pulling on everything I could see or think of to separate the two. I finally figured out which thing the instructions were actually referring to which wasn't clear. Once I got past this, the install went quick and was just a matter of doing it, and easy it was. Waste King is a decent name in disposers from what I can tell. The 1/2 horse power didn't mean much to me but I saw my old one was also 1/2 and it worked for everything I needed (regular home use) so I went with this one. The first few times you use it, it will sound a little rough. This is the gears and metal working into operational conditions. After 3 weeks of use it's now operates smoothly. Don't make it try to do more than it should. Follow directions on how to use it and you'll find you have purchased a great disposer.
