Hi, guys. The Garbage disposal (insinkerator 5-75) is always getting stuck. My wife is tired of it and wants to upgrade when we upgrade dishwasher. I checked consumer reports. Waste King 8000 is very good supposedly. I found one for 100 bucks.
WOuld you pull the trigger. MSRP is 240.

Get at least a 1 horsepower unit with a stainless grinding chamber.

And tell her not to cram it full before turning it on.

OK guys.
My Waste King arrived yesterday.
What is a fair price for installation?
My wife works with two maintenance guys who said they would do it for lunch.
I want to pay them fairly. Actually only one guy will probably do it.

you should be able to do it yourself.
The only catch I had was the old one was smaller and I have a double sink, so I had to get an assortment of pipes from home depot so I could line up the second sink drain.

Takes about an hour even if you don't have a clue.
And don't forget to punch out the hole for the dish washer.

I installed and wired mine in about 2hrs (wasn't one in the sink when we bought the house). Figure a maint. man gets paid $15-$25/hr, so $50 + lunch is more than fair.

It's really easy to do. You should try it unless you don't like to do that sort of thing. I think $50 would be enough.
It probably will take them about a half hour if they know what they are doing.

I gave my wife 50 bucks and told her to buy lunch as well.
Hopefully this week we'll get it done.
