Requires use of chrome sink finish >:(

This slide requires the use of the sink drain pad attached to the disposal unit. It is integral to the disposal unit and cannot be removed. The finish is super bright chrome with the Saying "WASTE KING" It can't be replaced with any finish that matches your sink and looks awfully gaudy Most sinks don't have a chrome finish so it won't match and will only draw attention to the ugly finish, As is Shiny and stamped Return before installation.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Some issues

Easy installation. Much quieter than the old

Delivered as promised. A very simple replacement for an old disposal. Took 30 minutes. Just make sure you knock out the dishwasher drain plug if you have one. I did everything with a flat head screwdriver. Photos show product unpacked, old disposal removed, plug knocked out, new drain collar in place, new disposal in place, looking down and removable drain guard installed. Then plug and play! Easy installation. Much quieter than the old one. Less vibration. Good build quality. The old one has…

Great, easy to install even for a woman!

So, for starters, I'm a 28 year old female. For some reason I get stuck doing all the plumbing around the house and when someone rubbed the garbage chute with a rag my incinerator broke. It was old and boring and definitely needed replacing. So I did a little research and ordered this one after going to the nearest home camp. The cheapest of them was 89.99 and then went up in price. So I ended up ordering this one and it went well with the existing pipeline that was being laid. The only minor…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Only available in white

The Revain guarantee is hell.

I received this because of the 4.5 star ratings from over 2000 people. I also paid for Amazon's professional installation. I had it for about a week and one day it suddenly fell off. It detached from the sink and water leaked onto the bottom of the sink where we keep our toaster and more. The installer, a better-paid Amazonian handyman, and his wife said the seal was broken or stuck. The same handyman and his wife said the disposal was rubbish. A couple of repairmen replaced the gasket and…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Compatibility

Easy installation once you know how to properly install the gasket

This is a preview. I give one star for the installation. Actually it should get 5 stars, but the included instructions are very poor. Not badly written, just poorly described. If the company had taken more time to describe exactly how to install the pillow mounting pad it would have saved me hours of my time. I was about to rebox it, order another one and send this one back to Revain, but thought I'd do it one last time after devouring yet another Revain review. This person gave me some…

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • No instructions

Great price, easy installation.

Compact and modern, very easy to install. Everything necessary was in the package, I was able to use my existing exhaust flange as it seems to be standard. The sink adapter that comes with the unit is all you need. I've seen a number of reviews suggesting that buying an adapter for the device will significantly reduce the load on the shower and take up more space. The trick is to pull out the old adapter, sometimes it contains settings that you need to remove first. This appliance had a plug…

Pros
  • Trial period for one year
Cons
  • High price

The SCOOP!: Rough plumbing

This is an excellent disposal based on the following: 1. Easy to install 2. Very quiet compared to the competition 3. Made to replace existing competitor plumbing. The first Waste King was purchased in 2015 and lasted just over a year. Manufacturer's policy is not to provide a replacement during the warranty period unless the plumber they call says I need a replacement. In other words, if the drain is stuck and the plumber pulled it out. You pay a plumber and get stuck with a rusted garbage…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Some cons

Not recommended for rough plumbing

Bought to replace an old Badger 5 that was rusty and leaking at the bottom where the power cord exits. I chose Waste King based on overall reviews and price. Received on September 14th and installed on September 15th and again on September 16th. The sink ring had a small dent on the inlet (no big deal) but plain non-shiny chrome with the Waste King logo as one reviewer said. Installation is fairly easy and tested with no leaks. However, when I turned it on and just let the water run, it leaked…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • So-so
