Score: 74/100
Moen EX Black
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Moen EX75C is a 3/4 horsepower continuous-feed garbage disposal with a VORTEX motor and pre-installed power cord for easy installation. It lacks extensive user feedback and professional reviews, making long-term reliability harder to verify. It is ideal for homeowners with standard kitchen setups using existing 3-bolt mounting assemblies.
The Waste King Legend Series is a line of continuous-feed garbage disposals ranging from 1/3 HP to 1 HP, designed for residential kitchen sinks with a focus on DIY-friendly installation. Key features include the EZ-Mount twist-and-lock system, pre-installed power cords, and options for sound insulation in higher horsepower models. The 1/2 HP model offers strong value for light to medium household use.

Professional reviewers highlight the Waste King Legend Series for its strong value proposition and DIY-friendly EZ-Mount system, which significantly reduces installation complexity. The 1/3 HP and 1/2 HP models are praised for providing sufficient power for light to medium household use, while the sound-insulated 3/4 HP model is noted for its quieter operation. However, critics point out that the series lacks advanced features like auto-reverse and multi-stage grinding found in premium competitors, and the polymer chamber in the entry-level model may not match the durability of all-metal alternatives.
Everyday users generally report positive experiences, particularly praising the ease of installation and the reliability of the disposals for daily kitchen waste. Many appreciate the compact size for tight cabinets and the septic-safe performance of the 1/3 HP model. Recurring complaints focus on operational noise in higher horsepower units, jamming issues with fibrous foods, and occasional difficulties with customer service and warranty claims.
