Kraus WasteGuard
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Waste King L-2600TC is a safe, easy-to-install batch feed disposal with a robust 5-year warranty and pre-installed power cord. Its 0.5 HP motor is a limitation for heavy-duty tasks, and the batch feed mechanism requires more user interaction. It is best suited for homeowners prioritizing safety and ease of installation over raw power.
The Kraus WasteGuard is a 1/2 HP continuous-feed garbage disposal featuring a high-speed permanent-magnet motor designed for efficient residential food waste grinding. It incorporates noise-reduction technologies and a stainless steel grinding chamber, though it requires a separately purchased switch and has a smaller capacity. Best suited for regular home cooks and DIY installers seeking quiet operation in open-concept kitchens.
