Waste King 9980 Legend Series 1 HP Continuous Feed Operation Garbage Disposer

Waste King 9980 Legend Series 1 HP Continuous Feed Operation Garbage Disposer
Great Disposal--easy install
We had an 1/3 hp insinkerator badger and the grinding chamber actually cracked and split. So, off to shopping--came across this unit and wanted to try a different company's machine. The price was right for the size of the unit. I took this out of the box, reviewed the install and completed the project in less than 45 minutes. The unit looks great and fit perfectly where the badger was. Of interest, the 9980 comes with a 90 degree elbow out of the side of the machine to hook to the waste line. On a double sink, this wouldn't work. So I used the tail from the badger which was a straight pipe and discarded the elbow. The unit then fit right into place--picture perfect. It seems to me on the height and hookup, the measurements were exact to that of the insinkerator badger. So the hardest part of the install was removing the old unit which was seemingly extremely tight in place--that took the majority of the time. Of other interest, when you go to fit the collar to the unit,...

The Pit Bull of Disposers
This unit is about as powerful and solid as you'll find anywhere for residential applications. It replaces an old Kenmore 1/3 HP unit that was leaking. My little home was built in the 1930's (long before many of the modern conveniences we take for granted today), so I had some plumbing challenges to overcome - certainly no fault of the Waste King 9980. For the record, I paid about $107.00 shipped to my door.

I cannot add much to what others have written in praise of this appliance, so I'll just elaborate on my own experience. I decided to tackle this project around 11:30 PM after a long day at work, and *almost* conquered it before bed - spent about an hour getting the old unit off and preparing for the installation of the Waste King. If you have an older 3-bolt attachment holding your disposer to the bottom of the sink, this one should work for with a minimum of fuss. The directions are (mostly) clear and concise, written in plain English. Whatever you cannot glean from...

Probably better than "EZ Mount" for reason in review
I purchased the 1HP 9980. The "splash guard" contains a larger opening compared to the EZ Mount model. I know this because the 9980 comes with the removable EZ Mount model's splash guard which is useless for the 9980. I have no idea why they include it, but it's in the same plastic bag as a couple of other parts. I can put my hand through the 9980's splash guard, but not the EZ Mount one. It doesn't even fit in the sink opening for the 9980. I saw some complaints on the EZ mount model about the size of the opening which is why I mention this.

I replaced a 7.5 year old Badger 5. It is definitely quieter, but I first put some liquid dishwasher soap down the drain prior to running it. Some people have mentioned a noise issue, so you may want to try this idea.

Overall, the unit has been functioning great. No vibration of the sink like some have mentioned with the EZ mount model. I can definitely tell a significant improvement in the time it takes to grind...

Amazon and this dryer made me a hero to the wife
To start I work overseas so when I get a call from home with the wife telling me the dryer is out, it is somewhat of a problem. we had already bought the washer earlier in the year so we decided to get the matching dryer to go along with it.I contacted our local Lowes store, told them what I wanted and asked if they had it, Yes they did have it, all I needed to do was pay 1300.00 dollars and wait 2 weeks for delivery!!!! I kindly told them no thank you. So I got on amazon look up what I needed to my surprize the seller was offering free shipping and it was 500.00 less then Lowes. It arrived in 5 days in perfect condition and the wife loves it....
I would recomend this item to anyone who has a large family or washes lots of clothes and bulky items

    Awesome washer....Love it!!!
    I've had this washer since early December 2011 when it first became available in the United States. It has all the features I need: narrow width, low height, controls in the front, not in the back (for a shorter reach), hot and cold water standard washer hook-ups, stainless steel tub, a bi-fold lid (because I have it right under my stacked clothes dryer and have limited vertical clearance) and most importantly an agitator. With almost all the narrow, portable washers moving to pulsating bottoms (which I've heard have marginal cleaning ability), it's good to see a manufacturer keep the traditional agitator. This washer cleans clothes exceptionally well. I was almost forced to go with a pulsating bottom washer, but thankfully this little bad boy was brought to the US.

    Sturdy, quiet and an excellent warranty
    I actually bought this machine from a local certified Danby vendor but decided to write a review here as I know many people come to Amazon to see products reviews before purchasing.

    It took me a while to decide which portable machine I wanted. I was tempted to go with a less expensive product but decided in the end I wanted as little plastic as possible, an agitator (a true rarity these days) and a company which listed not only it's warranties on their website but also their dealers and service centers so I could be sure there was one in my area, particularly service. The only vendor that met those criteria was Danby so while their products are more expensive they seemed the better option. They also have an A+ rating with the BBB and are accredited with that organization; the other two major vendors are not accredited and one has an F rating. Shudder.

    Anyway, this washer is exactly what I wanted in a small machine. Steel cabinet and stainless steel tub...

    1.7 cubic foot capacity
    Every other portable washer's description is done in terms of cubic feet. It took lots of looking to find, but I finally found it: This one has a 1.7 cubic foot capacity.

    The Danby DWM17WDB Portable Top Load Washing Machine has a 11.02 lb. capacity. The Danby portable washer is the perfect companion for people that have a minimal amount of space and are not able to install full size units. This compact washer comes loaded with features including a stainless steel tub, full length top load agitator, 4 water level settings, 8 wash programs and more.Package Content:washing machinemanualwarrantyElectronic controlsQuiet operationWater overflow protectionSafety lid - spinning stops when you open the lid120V electrical requirementHeight 33.88Width 21.44Depth 21.63Weight 70.00Color WhiteOperating SystemBatteries IncludedBatteries RequiredNumber of BatteriesBattery TypeLanguage English, French, SpanishAssembly Required

    Nostalgia Electrics RIC-100 Retro Series Automatic Ice Maker, Red
    Worked great for 10 months, then broke
    First let me say that I loved this ice maker. It was the only source of ice in my home and I used it several times a week over the last 10 months. Around the holidays and in the summer it was used almost daily. It was loud as some other reviewers indicated, but something you can get used to. It made the amount of ice as described in the online descriptions. The color attracted me to this unit, as well as the price. It was cheaper than some of the other units I had been reviewing for purchase. This machine was exactly what I expected.
    Recently, it stopped working. The unit won't power on consistently. When it finally does power on, the ice tray is malfunctioning due to a crack running up the side. I contacted the manufacturer, but because it was out of the 90 or 180 day warranty period there was nothing they could do except to recommend a local appliance repair shop. I don't recommend this model or this manufacturer. The manufacturers' user guide for this ice maker touts...

    lousy manufacturer worked 6 months then broke
    Seems that many of us had common problems.
    I had this machine for less then a year and it stopped working, the ice tray broke and the motor will not turn on. The manufacturer will not do anything because it was out of warranty. They would not even do anything else to help me. I feel that this product is not worth the money and I would not recommend it to anyone.

    Ice Tray Broke, Can't Get Help
    I've used this ice maker every day for most of 2 years. I know its out of warranty, but when an ice cube got stuck under the tray, it cracked up the side. I'm willing to buy a new ice tray, but can't get any help to do so. I'm getting told that there are no parts available for it. So because a 2 dollar plastic part broke, I'm out $200. Up till now, I've had no problems with this ice maker, but if you need help later on, don't expect much. My initial review was 1 star, but it should be 4 stars for product and 1 star for product/customer service. What good is any product without some kind of customer service? Your not going to buy a car if the tires that come on it are not replaceable and when worn out, you have to buy another car, are you? $20,000 or $200. It does not matter.

    With its retro-style housing and portable design, this countertop appliance can produce up to 26 pounds of ice per day. The small ice machine works with regular tap water or bottled water and can hold up to a gallon at a time. Easy to use, simply plug in the unit, fill the reservoir with water, and it quickly and efficiently takes care of the rest. The ice-cube maker produces the first batch in as little as 6 to 15 minutes, and it drops nine cubes per cycle. A user-friendly push-button control turns the unit on and off, while a -inchselect-inch button allows for choosing from three different size cubes--small, medium, or large. An ice scooper comes included. Ideal for use in the kitchen, bar area, or office, the ETL-approved ice machine measures 11-1/2 by 11-4/5 by 14-1/4 inches and carries a 90-day limited warranty.

    avoid lg refrigerators
    This is our second LG fridge. The first was purchased in 2007. We started having problems right away...seemed like the repair person was here every 6 months. Finally,the last problem was insurmountable and after 2 weeks of "camping" with ice chests, LG at long last replaced the fridge with this model. We were thrilled and the fridge arrived 4-18-2011. On June 1st, it just died. Turned out to be a defective main circuit board. Part ordered. Next day, we were informed that the part was out of stock, not in for 4 weeks. Hmmm, part out of stock....what does that tell you? An all too common problem? It has now been 7 days and we are waiting to see what LG will do for us. They do not plan to reimburse us for all the ice we've purchased or for some of the food that has gone bad. Totally unacceptable time to keep a customer in limbo. Buyer beware!

    LG LFC25776ST - French Door
    We physically checked out several fridges in local stores and looked on-line including consumer reports. This was significantly larger than the fridge it replaced. We really like the freezer at the bottom w/ the divider (meats on one side, ice cream/dessert type stuff on the other). The slide out shelves are very cool; it's nice when you have a big jug of milk to pull out. There is also an abundance of drawer space.

    I was concerned purchasing a large appliance on-line but it went great. It took a little more than a week to arrive. Two guys came in a truck in the 4 hour timeframe given. They were in and out w/in 30 minutes. The fridge was in perfect condition - everything was taped into position. We saved $200-$300 by purchasing off Amazon as opposed to the local box store.

    We are very happy w/ the purchase.

    Good refrigerator except for ice maker and warranty service
    Purchased in January 2011. We like the style and layout of this refrigerator. Unfortunately, the ice maker went out after one month. LG is the only manufacturer that requires you to submit a a form to request in-home warranty service. You can't just call a local authorized service company yourself. Then, when they get around to it, LG contacts a service rep to come fix the problem. It's been five days and haven't heard from LG. I won't be purchasing any additional LG appliances.

    A lot of thought went into this LG refrigerator On the outside - contoured doors hidden hinges and recessed LED lighting And Inside is an integrated 4-compartment crisper with deli storage center

    Best Refridgerator I Have Seen.
    I have owned this large fridge for about 9 month now and couldn't be happier. I works great at keeping my food fresher longer, vegatable last around 50% longer if I had to put a number on it. Its has vents on each shelf to ensure adequate airflow everywhere. The freezer has never had any frost develop, not even a drop. Unlike the other review the ice maker works flawlessly creating around 5+ pounds a day. I have two friends that own high end LGs and I like this icemaker more than any of theres. There comes with an LED touch screen, but about $1000 more in price too. The wine rack on this one is a nice touch for keeping some whites around the house.
    The only complaints I have is large tall items like a gallon of milk can only be put in the door. Obviously you could adjust the shelves, but this would result in one of them becoming uselessly small. This isn't a huge problem as we just keep large items in the drawer, but still an adjustment from most fridges I am use too. Also the...

    incredible space and quiet
    First impression....incredible space!!! We just traded in our hopelessly small 23 cu.ft. for this 30 cu.ft. hercules of a refrig. I actually have a separate
    shelf for my fish, chicken, pork and beef and yet another for ice cream and desserts plus pizza...you can't get any better than this. Be aware, I'm 5'6" and this refrigerator is DEEP and i will have to stand on my toes to reach the back of the upper shelves on the freezer and refrig sides. Also, with the back lighting
    you will find that you put things on the shelves in a different order. I put all my "mexican" related items on the far right, top shelf..salsa's, taco sauce, cheese sauce, etc; and then next to that pesto, and so on over to the far left so that i can now calculate exactly where i'm going in my new refrig. sure it will taking

    Amana 4.8 cu. ft. Self-Cleaning Electric Range, AER5830VAW, White
    Great cooking features, good design
    The Amana AER5830VAW Self-Cleaning Electric Range has been an excellent appliance so far. This is the first time I've owned an Amana, but I've owned/used several Whirlpool, Maytag, and GE ranges. Of course, these days many are all manufactured by one or two companies. The AER5830VAW has a good combination of aesthetic design and useful features.

    I consider the look and design of this range to have a bit of a modern feel with classic details. The glass ceramic cooktop is sleek and inviting. The top of the range with the knobs and control center is a bit more classic. It does have an easy touch digital control center for timers, oven temperature, etc. The front of the unit is fairly standard, but I really like the extra-large oven window. That combined with a bright interior light gives you a great view of what is cooking without having to open the door.

    The glass ceramic cooktop is great. So far, it's been easy to maintain and clean. The heating elements...

    Great all around appliance; quick to heat up.
    I am a fan of this stove (the Amana AER5830VAW). First off, the measurements were spot on, and the 30" width was exactly right for the snug space it was fitted into between two cabinets, which is always a concern.

    The glass cooking surface heats up VERY quickly, especially compared to my old Kenmore unit, which is pretty great. I've also found the surface very easy to clean all the way to the raised edges, and I haven't had any problem or concerns around chipping or scratching yet, and find the dark surface (i) contrasts nicely with the white body, and (ii) makes little splashes of spaghetti sauce or whatever much less noticeable than on some white surfaces. Plus, the surface really does look good.

    While I haven't done this yet, the oven space itself is spacious enough to put a roasting pan with a turkey into it without feer that it is too tight. It has (possibly standard?!) 5 tray racks for raising/lowering the racks, so nothing too unusual there. It came...

    Beautiful and classy Range, projects an upscale image even for this affordable model
    First of all let me say that Amazon's appliance program is a hit with me. The JB Hunt delivery service was flawless, and the installation folks were very professional and communicated well. I have had installation services from Sears and Home Depot, this program from Amazon was just as good if not better. I would have all the confidence in the world purchasing again.

    On the the range:

    The range itself is nice and simple in many of its features, except the actual stove top. Which is fantastic. The electric flat surface is really nice and is a bit of a "wow" thing when you first see it.

    I personally had this unit installed in a rental property and the appearance is very "upscale" without being too much so.

    The cooking surface is flat with a raised lip to catch liquids that spill and is super easy to keep clean, compared to traditional cooking surfaces.

    Because the old range was hauled away, I couldn't do a completely unbiased "speed...

    Key Considerations

    Measure the space for your new washer

    Tip #1
    Measure the space for a new range as well as any doorways or hallways the appliances must fit through.

    Make sure the floor is level

    Tip #2
    Before beginning installation, gather all tools and parts required to make the process go quicker.

    Ensure that there are hot and cold water lines within 3’ of washer hookups

    Tip #3
    To properly install your range, determine the type of electrical connection you will be using.

    Determine which connection you need, gas or electric

    Tip #4
    If using a power supply cord kit, be sure to us a UL listed kit marked for use with ranges and rated at 250 volts minimum. See installation instructions for more details.
