Question 1

Has any one had problems with the "easy mount" on a SS sink? The cushion mount slipped out of the mount ring on the second day.Is vibration a problem?

Accepted Answer

The Easy Mount doesn't seal well on a SS sink.  I've had a plumber out a couple of times to remedy the sink seal.  Last fix was a couple of years ago and we just discovered it's leaking again.

Question 2

What does "lifetime" mean.  If I am 25 and it konks out when I am 50, what do I get?  Is it pro-rated?

Accepted Answer

This is the best. I bought mine in 2013 (5 years ago) and its worked perfectly, until a couple of days ago, it would not start. Power to GFCI plug on, reset button tripped. When I reset the button, it came on about 1/2 second and stopped. Troubleshooting indicates the brushes on the electromagnetic motor need replacement. I called Anaheim customer service (the company that manufactures Waste King and all they needed was the original purchase date, my name, and the serial number from the unit. A brand new replacement unit should arrive in a couple of days. Zero charge for the unit or shipping fee.
They offered to have a plumber come install it too, also no charge, however, since I’m pretty handy, I don’t need that. The total time on the call to resolve the warranty replacement was about 15 minutes, due to an approximate 3 minute wait time to speak to the representative.  All is needed to complete the warranty process is the serial number tag from the existing unit and the serial number from the new one, mailed back in to Anaheim Manufacturing.  Easy peasy!! Great service and they stand behind the lifetime warranty!

Question 3

I need to replace an insinkerator badger 5. would this be able to b installed easily where the old one was w/o having to reinstall the drain partstall

Accepted Answer

Won't fit your existing badger drain flange (same system used by most brands). You will have to remove yours and replace it with the included Waste King drain flange in order to mount the new unit.

Question 4

I am looking for a unit that will be direct wired (no outlet).  Will this unit work?

Accepted Answer

I direct wired it but it wasn't easy to remove the plug. I ended up having to cut the cord and mutilate the grommet the cord went through in order to get it out. In my opinion if there's one without a cord that's a few dollars more I'd buy that one.
