Experience a More Powerful Grind
Featuring an energy-efficient, high-speed, 2,600 RPM 'Vortex' permanent magnet motor, the Legend 2600 offers more power per pound than comparative disposers.

The Legend 2600 is a continuous-feed disposer, which means you can add waste while the unit runs. Stainless steel swivel impellers reduce jamming, and an easily removable splash guard keeps things tidy. A front-mounted reset button allows for simple operation. Grinding Components Minimize Noise and Wear

The Waste King Legend 2600 includes a fast-and-easy mount system, with all the necessary hardware for no-hassle installation. The disposer is safe for properly sized septic tanks and comes with a power cord. Five-Year In-Home Service Warranty
The Waste King Legend 2600 is backed by a limited mechanical warranty. This means that if your disposer develops a material or mechanical defect within five years of purchase, it will be replaced in your home--free of charge. The disposer also comes with a lifetime warranty against corrosion. What's in the Box

 Quiet, strong and cheap, best warranty. Get it. February 20, 2009

I bought this to replace 20 year old ISE disposer which lost both of its blades and was pretty much useless.
Installation was almost plug-and-play except for the sink flange piece. I had to remove old one (couple of minutes), clean some old plumber's putty and make sure contact surface is clean before I put the new one on. Since I have stainless steel sink, the supplied rubber gasket was just fine to use alone. The outlet orientation and dishwasher inlet were in exact same spot as the previous disposer so I didn't have to mock around with that - perfect compatibility.
Last was electrical hook up. The disposer comes with around 2-3 feet of cable with standard 3 prong plug on one end... I had to cut it off and make electrical connection to old cable. Manual covers that and tells exactly which prong should be hooked up to which color of wire on the other cable. Similarly to plumber's putty, there were no wire caps included with the disposer.
At this point I was finished so I decided to test the efficiency of this disposer... I took all the bits and pieces of food (nut shells, carrots, etc, stuff that old broken disposer could not chew), almost full chamber of it and stuffed it into the new disposer... It chewed thru all of it in about 10s, truly amazing. No wonder since this disposer spins at 2600 rpms which is something like 2x as fast than usual disposer in its class. It is also VERY quiet. When operating in normal fashion (not full chamber of hard stuff at once), you won't even notice much more noise when throwing stuff inside since the food gets chewed into little pieces immediately and has no time to bounce around the chamber generating noise and vibrations for sink to amplify.
The disposer comes with removable splash guard that sits about 2 inches below sink line inside of the flange. It also comes with sink plug, you insert it inside the flange. It is a very effective plug too.
I think this is the best bang for the bucks these days since for one, it is all stainless steel blades and chamber walls secondly it comes with 5 year in home warranty and life time rust warranty.
For comparison, I went to Lowes/HD and what did I find for this price? The cheapest they had was ISE Badger 1 which was actually $76 + tax. That one is noisy as hell, has galvanized steel parts (will rust in couple of years) and very short warranty...

Like several of the other reviewers, I purchased this to replace a Badger 5. I found the Waste King product impressive on a number of areas. The warranty is five years and it includes in-home service, which is a rarity nowadays. Some of the larger Waste King models (1 Hp) have a lifetime in-home warranty. I looked at them, but decided to go with the ½ HP version since I only use the disposal for plate scrapings (bones go in the trash and vegetable peelings go into the compost pile) and didn't want to buy way more disposal than I needed.
Waste King offers two mounting options - the traditional three bolt method, and the EZ method. This model is the EZ method and, true to its name, is really easy! Very clear instructions come with the unit, plus there are videos on the Waste King site to walk you through the process. If you have even the most basic of tool skills and can follow instructions, this is a job you can handle.
The other feature I liked about the EZ mount option was that the rubber guard (the piece of rubber at the top of the opening that you push scraps through) is removable for cleaning. It is not removable in the 3 bolt mounting option and, considering how horrible the one looked in my Badger after a few years, I wanted something that I could take out and clean (or replace). But, all the parts in the 3 bolt option are stainless steel, whereas there are plastic parts in the EZ mount option. The plastic seems sturdy enough, so I hope it will last a long time.
I'm especially pleased to report that Waste King has outstanding customer service. I emailed them some questions before I ordered, and they replied in a few hours, and answered all my questions in full (versus just those canned boilerplate responses you sometimes get from companies). After it arrived I had a question regarding if the sink flange (the part you see when you look into the sink) was plastic or stainless. So I called them and got an answer very quickly (it is stainless). Very pleasant phone call, and minimal (3 or 4 min) hold time.
Product works great. It runs faster (higher RPM) than the Badger, so it grinds quicker. Not as ultra quiet as the really high end ones, but less noise than the Badger. It has stainless cutters which should outlast the galvanized ones in the Badger by a long time.
Works well, easy to install, great warranty, excellent customer support, great price. What more could you want!

I purchased this unit after my previous unit (An In-Sinkerater Badger V) started springing leaks. The Waste King looks like it will hold up better than my previous unit, and was easy to install and is easy to adjust if you don't get it right the first time. If I have not added to this review, you can assume that it is still going strong, as I will update if the unit fails on me.
Great product March 24, 2009

After a lot of research I settled on the Waste King disposer. It was very easy to install and came packaged with all the necessary accessories for either a twist and lock installation or through the use of a bolt on system. The only thing extra that I needed to do was install an electrical outlet since my old disposal unit was hard wired. I have been using it now for just over a month and it works great.

Typical story. Disposer quits working, need to replace it.
Started looking online and found the Waste King L-2600.
Reviews looked good so I ordered. Usual Amazon service, delivered very quickly. The big surprise was that I was able to R&R in less than 15 minutes. This disposer is easy to install and works very well. Very pleased!
