I appreciate all the other reviews written earlier. It helps a lot to know the tricks to install this unit. And the video on the manufacturer’s website helps greatly [...].
It is indeed more challenging to take out the old one, Badger in my case.
After thought: I should not have ripped out power cord that you can plug into a grounded power outlet. It’s better to add an outlet under the sink.

Installation took less time than taking an old piece of … out. When ordering make sure you have the right electrical set-up picked. I odered a unit WITH cord provided, but ended up taking it out myself and hooking up straight to the unit using an existing connection to the old Insinkerator. It fit perfectly!!! Believe me, I am not handy, but was able to do the “easy installation” myself. To make it a little easier, put some petroleum jelly on those little pegs, which go to the final unit connection to the sink.
Other detail. Manifacturer-provided size chart found in the box for Legend series was far more detailed than anything I found on sale sites. I would have chosen 2600 or 3200 series if I new the exact size. Please call manifacturer or sales rep to clarify the unit size.

I bought this model because it was inexpensive. I installed it and it has been working fine – no complaints.

I never did get to install this unit. I received the shipment and in checking the parts discovered that the sink flange and its supporting ring could not be separated. They should have been screwed together “hand tight” for shipment but were frozen together. I put some WD-40 on the threads and used a pair of channel lock pliers with no success. They wouldn’t budge. I can only guess that some jokester at the factory put some super glue on the threads to have a little fun. I put in a call to Waste King support and got a recording stating they would return my call. They never responded which compounded my frustration. Amazon offered to replace the unit but I’ve been without a disposal now for two weeks, so I returned it for refund and bought a replacement at Lowes which is what I should have done in the first place.
Overall, it doesn’t justify two stars but I’m just a nice guy.
