Waste King is a brand of Anaheim Manufacturing Corporation (AMC), one of the world's largest waste disposer manufacturers founded in 1970 in Anaheim, California. The company also has a sub-brand, Whirlaway, which is generally priced at $110-120 and focuses on the low- and mid-price market.
Waste King is sold in more than 80 countries and regions in the world, has a number of patented technologies, and has won the title of the best-selling garbage disposer in the United States "Best Buy". It is also one of the brands with the highest number of products on the list by Consumer Reports in the United States. In the continuous feed and batch feed type processor reviews, Waste King's Legend series scored the highest in the Legend 8000 and Legend 8000TC respectively, with excellent overall performance except for average noise levels.
Unlike InSinkErator, Waste King's Legend series is aimed at mass consumption, with prices ranging from 760 to 2,600 yuan, and is known for offering the best warranties in the industry, with most of the products offering a warranty of more than 5 years or even a lifetime, which is unmatched by other brands. The reason why the products are so cheap is due to the fact that Waste King has established branch factories all over the world to select high-quality and cheap raw materials to reduce production costs.
The whole series uses Vortex permanent magnet motors, the no-load speed is very fast, and the ability to grind hard food waste is better than that of ordinary AC motors; In the structure of the grinding disc, Waste king adopts a grinding hammer that rotates in the direction of positive and negative rules, and the speed and direction of the grinding disc are not exactly the same, and there are generally stuck points, such as after rotating 180 degrees to the right, the grinding hammer stops at that position, at this time the grinding disc still rotates normally, and after 1-2 seconds, rotates 180 degrees to the left to stop, and so on, that is, grinds food waste by cutting. In addition, the splash guards of the Legend range are removable for easy cleaning of the interior. At the price of 760 to 1000 yuan, the motor horsepower is below 0.5hp, which can meet the grinding needs of small families, and the weight of 4 kg has little pressure on the sink, and the vibration is not obvious, but the noise control is poor, and the 9910 has no sound insulation measures. It is worth mentioning that the L-2600 has a maximum warranty of 5 years in this class.
In the price range of 1,000 to 2,000 yuan, there are 7 Waste King models, with more than 0.75hp horsepower and about 2700rpm, which is very competitive among commercial models. Small bones can be ground into a slurry liquid after tens of seconds, and the use of an insulated nylon grinding chamber is more durable than brands that use stainless steel grinding chambers, and the anti-noise design is unique. Among them, L-8000 has obtained the excellent level of the American "Consumer Reports" in the two indicators of grinding speed and particle fineness, which can be seen in the strong grinding capacity, and has been rated as the most cost-effective product in Reviews, but there are no formal channels to buy it in China.
Legend 9980 is Waste King's high-end product in the mid-range price range, based on the Legend 9950, the horsepower is upgraded to 1hp, the speed is increased to 2800rpm, the performance is strong, the price is only 1900 yuan, but the domestic can not enjoy the lifetime warranty service. The height of the fuselage is about 40cm, the cabinet installation space requirements are higher, the distance from the bottom of the sink to the bottom of the cabinet is more than 45cm, in addition, the sink is best within one meter from the main drain, so that the water pressure can flush the particles into the main drain.
Although Waste King has a wide range of models and very affordable prices, there is no official e-commerce channel in China, and the products purchased on foreign e-commerce platforms have a 115V voltage limit, and consumers need to buy a transformer to use the processor normally. However, the amount of humidity under the sink varies from home to home, and changing the transformer at will is prone to dangerous accidents, so consumers need to consider it carefully.
