Waste King L-8000 Garbage Disposal Reviewed 

There are many great garbage disposals that you can choose from, but they do not provide the durability and functionality that you need, like the Waste King L-8000 garbage disposal. This compact and powerful disposal is designed to last a long time and get the work done for many families. 

Installing the Disposer 

The Waste King L-8000 is going to be lighter than a lot of garbage disposals and is about 12 pounds, which makes it easier to use compared to some of the others. It also relies on an EZ installation process, making sure that someone without electric experience can still get the device in place.  

Even though this device is light enough that you can install it and keep it in place, it is large enough to grind up a lot of the food items that you want to send down the drain. This makes it an excellent choice for families who want to be able to clean up the kitchen and who want a garbage disposal that will meet their needs.  

You will need to measure out your sink cabinets before purchasing it, though. This unit is 16 inches tall, which is taller than some of the other ones and it may not fit into the sink cabinet at all.  

Food Grinding Capabilities 

There is a lot of power behind this kind of garbage disposer. The Waste King will use their Permanent Magnet VORTEX, which is going to be a less complicated motor that is lighter but has a lot of power. The RPM on this motor is 2800, so you can get the food ground up in no time. And with 1 horsepower present, you will be able to use this garbage disposal any way that you would like.  

Troubleshooting Problems 

There are very few problems that come up with this type of garbage disposal. However, when they do, there is a limited parts warranty in place to make it a good option for everyone. You can also quickly unhook the disposal and put it back on, helping you check out the disposal when necessary.

Waste King Garbage Disposal Models Compared 

Waste King L-8000 Vs. A1SPC 

The design is a big difference between both of these units. The outlook of the 8000 is similar to some of the other disposals from Waste King, but the A1SPC is a little different in design and color. Their mounting type is different with the L-8000 using an EZ mounting system and the A1SPC using a snap and lock mounting system. The A1SPC is also less noisy compared to the L-8000.  

Waste King L-8000 Vs. 9980 

The main difference between these two garbage disposals is the way that they are installed. The splash guard is also easy to remove to make cleaning easier. Outside of the easier installation, both of these models have similar power, speed, and noise levels. Both will also have a 1 horsepower motor, and the speed on them is 2800 RPM.

The price is also lower to make it more affordable, but still, InSinkErator is also a top brand that many people trust.

However, there are a lot of times when the Evolution Excel will have a lot of power, fewer jams, and other benefits that make it a better option.
