Moen L-3200 Waste King 3/4 HP Garbage Disposal with Power Cord

Okay we've had it for months now. It still works as well as it did new along with being quite. It also destroyed everything we have thrown into it without issue so it's a great choice. The one I replaced was a badger unit that had a two year warranty and was in the house when we bought it just about 1 3/4 years ago. I would imagine it was in there for 3 years because I know it was there when we looked at the house initially so I would imagine it had been there at a minimum of 6 months probably a little longer before we chose this house and finished with the contract. So the installation was easy relatively I actually wired a new power outlet because I had already bought it rather than hard wiring it which I could have done it either way but I bought the outlet and am an experienced Low Voltage/Communications electrician. That fact is not mentioned anywhere. I looked for it when I bought it and is why I had already bought the extra wall outlet, but hard wiring it is very simple as well you take a metal plate off the bottom held on by a bolt and there are a white, green and black wire coupled with pinch on wire grommets underneath to the plug in cord. I also did not know Waste King is Owned by MOEN you may have seen there faucets in Home Depot there a relatively well regarded brand sold at Home Depot or Lowe's home improvement and I imagine many other stores of that type. I found it out when I went to there website to see if I needed to register it for the warranty. Another thing I liked is the standing warranty on this unit is 8 years and from what I could tell 10 years on the Legend series which compared to the Badger unit I took out beats its standing warranty by 400% (as mentioned earlier the badgers warranty was 2 years which seems pretty low for a home utilitarian device like this to me) so I really like the warranty it is all stainless steel inside and the magnet motor on this unit is also probably about a quarter of the noise the old one made. I also think the price on this unit was outstanding and it was here in 2 days so no complaints anywhere from me. I will update this if I run into any issues though! As far as it goes it seems like a very solid unit to me.

So far so good not as quite as I'd like but it's not extremely noisy. I've had it for about a year with no issues. Great price easy install.

Installed it last night. So far so good. The installation took a bit of time figuring out how to attach the disposal to the hopper slots and not a ring like my old unit. So the only issue I seen with the unit itself is at initial startup makes a loud metal noise. It also does sit 1" lower in the sink but other than that for only $107 it's still quiet and smooth and will get a second unit for my other rental.

This was easy to install easy to use. I used a jack to hold in place for final install. Easier then getting two people under the sink. The disposal is not very heavy, but is but not easy to hold in place for final assembly. Not loud and it takes care of business.

Waste King is great out of the box. Installation was surprisingly easy (less than 30 minutes) and it's working perfectly. Quiet, no vibration, and powerful. So far, so good. The 5 stars are for the product only. I wish I could give Amazon a separate 1 star for the delivery. This thing was delivered to an address two blocks away from my house. Conveniently, the driver neglected to take a picture of the completed delivery (as they've done with every other delivery I've received) and sent no email confirming delivery. If this was just an accidental mis-delivery, how did they also just happen to forget the picture and email as well? It's also very convenient that I can't report the driver because it's impossible to do so without the delivery confirmation. I guess this driver just didn't want to finish their route and dumped my package and who knows how many others. Fortunately for me the good people who received my order actually got in their car and drove it over to my house. They actually did Amazon's job and that was not their responsibility. I wanted to point out Amazon's poor job but didn't want to unfairly blame the product, hence the 5 stars. Thanks.

Wow! Does this thing work! Replaced a Badger 1 that came with the house. This was a very poor performer - couldn't really put anything down the drain. Carrots, potatoes and the like inevitably caused a clog at the drain elbow. The Badger disposal chopped up the item, but only fine enough for it to quickly clump in the outlet. After disconnecting everything under the sink for the umpteenth time in a year, I had enough. Read all of the reviews. Given that Badger and Insinkerator are the same, I was not going there again. (Also, I had installed an Insinkerator in a previous house and found the process nearly impossible. Literally had to use a 2 x 4 to lever the disposal into place, but that is another story.) So Waste King was not a big risk, particularly considering the glowing reviews. Well, those reviews are well deserved, let me tell you. I did install an electrical outlet under the sink, for the Badger was hard wired. Folks, if you find this situation, DO NOT cut the WK plug off. Do the work needed, install a metal junction box and wire an outlet. Then plug the WK into the outlet. It will take you a half hour and help prevent a house fire. Putting this disposal in was a snap. The only issue was that the outlet was an inch lower than on the Badger, so I had to run to Depot to get another drain piece. (You might want to scope this out on the Waste King schematics before getting under the sink.) The "easy mount" system is just that - it is almost too easy - I kept thinking there was something more to be done. Started off with a cup of ice. Vroooom! The WK took care of this with ease. Of course, I was replacing a 1/4 hp device with one that is 3/4 hp. But, very little noise. Lots and lots of power. I love it. Can't wait to give it some carrots!

3 years in to 8 year warrantee I noticed a drip under my sink coming from the disposal.. I immediately though it would be coming from the plumbing, but it was not. Upon removal of the unit from under the sink, I noticed the insulation was saturated and the bottom of the motor was rusting. It was apparent that the seal between the upper and lower halves of the motor had failed and been leaking for some time but the sound insulation around the disposal had been absorbing the slow leaking water, so, it was not noticeable for a long period of time. Until now, we have been very happy with this dispoal. It still works great and we have never had it seize up or throw a breaker. I was about to get a new o-ring and repair the seal myself, but, since it was only three years in to an 8 year warranty, I decided to call Waste King. I found the phone number to call for warranty issues and was shocked to hear Moen was the company taking my call. After 5 or 10 minutes of conversation with a very pleasant rep, I was told that the warrantee did not cover leaks, but after the rep revieved a couple pics I sent showing the rust, she said that what she could do was replace the unit with a new one, but could not offer the cost of labor to install. I expressed to her my complete satisfaction with the solution she offered as I had installed the dispisal originally. I was told the item was out of stock for another two days, but it would ship to me upon the restocking. She said it would arrive in approximately 10 to 14 days after it was back in stock. I asked about expedited shipping and was offered next day air from Nevada to Florida for $25.00 which I prompltly paid and have already recieved the replacement disposal. I have always been very happy with the 3/4 h.p. disposal and would not have thought any less of the product if I had needed to replace to O-ring to repair the seal. But I am even more pleased with the way customer service and Moen handled my claim. I would not only by another one of these, because it is a great product, but would recomend it to anyone in need and feel even more strongly knowing how Moen stands behind all their products. A lot od disposals only come with a one or two year warrantee. This unit iffered an 8 year warranty. I was told I still have 5 years remaining if any more issues were to arrise. What more couls I ask for.

The L-3200 3/4 HP disposal was purchased to replace a 15 year old InSinkErator 1/2 HP Badger 5 that developed a leak. The good point is that the installation was easy. It is installed in a home with a dual stainless kitchen sink and is used for light duty only. Mostly vegetable peelings and small food scraps rinsed from plates that have been cleaned into a garbage container.No bones or anything difficult to grind. The first negative is that when it is running with no load the motor is quite loud. I believe that is a characteristic of the permanent magnet motor it uses. Sort of acceptable but not a good point. When rinsing dishes into the sink with running water, the small opening in the soft rubber insert clogs easily. This results in water beginning to fill the sink. As is normal, you clear the opening with your fingers. This allows a rush of backed up water with minor amounts of garbage to enter the disposal. The disposal then goes into an extremely loud violent vibration that vibrates the whole sink, counter top, and plumbing, until all the water and garbage has gone down the drain. Another interesting point that is not impressive is that if it should ever jam, there is no wrench or place for a wrench to turn the disposal backwards to clear the jam. The instructions tell you to use a broom handle thru the top opening to clear any jams. Fortunately in the relatively short time I have had this installed there has been no jam. Made in China. I would never buy another one or give one to a friend. I should have bought another InSinkErator. UPDATE: I called Waste King customer service and discussed the violent vibration issue with the rep. She said that the vibration issue is normal with a stainless sink. She said that you should "not empty the water from a sink with the disposal". I do understand this. But I consider the accumulation of some water in the sink when the rubber splash guard hole becomes clogged by a potato skin or lettuce leaf, while rinsing dishes, to be normal operation. I never had a vibration problem with the old InSinkErator in the same sink when this happened. I believe my one star rating for this unit is accurate. UPDATE 2: The unit has now been in service for months. It does the job but the motor sounds loud and annoying every time it is turned on. And this is from an adjacent room. A visitor to our home remarked, "WOW, that does not sound good. Is something wrong with it ?" My wife replied that modern manufacturing turns out a lot of crap these days.

Excellent product

Estoy muy contento con el triturador, el precio me parece muy bueno elegí el de 3/4 caballos y la verdad es que es muy poderoso y prácticamente no hace ruido. El plomero lo ensambló muy fácil y le adaptó un apagador cerca del fregadero. Tengo otro de otra marca y es mucho más ruidoso y menos potente.

Je suis très satisfaite. Puissant et efficace. Un peu bruyant mais il ne fonctionne pas longtemps alirs pas trop dérangeant. Vous devez prévoir un plombier ainsi qu'un électricien pour l'instalation sécuritaire. Je le recommande .

Lo hemos usado por más de dos años y un uso excelente. Potente! Ahora compramos el segundo par otra tarja

A little small for the container. otherwise all works good
