- Is the L-8000 good for a family kitchen?
- Yes. Its 1 HP motor and continuous feed handle daily scraps from a household that cooks often. It is a sensible step up from 1/2 HP models without the cost of multi-stage premium units.
- How does it compare with the Waste King L-2600?
- The L-8000 doubles the horsepower and adds a stainless steel grind ring, so it handles tougher scraps faster. The L-2600 is lighter and quieter but less capable with bones and fibrous waste.
- Will it fit my existing sink mount?
- It uses the EZ mount, so it drops onto an existing EZ-mount flange. If your sink has a standard 3-bolt mount, you will need a compatible adapter or to change the flange.
- Does it come with a power cord?
- Yes, a power cord is included, along with a removable splash guard. Check that your under-sink outlet is within reach before installing.
- Can it handle bones and fibrous foods?
- Owners report it grinds small bones, fruit peels and celery without trouble. Feed fibrous scraps in small amounts with running water to avoid clogs.
- Is it quiet?
- No. It is one of the louder 1 HP disposers because it has little sound insulation. If noise matters, a heavier insulated model will be quieter.
