Waste King L-8000
Score: 85/100
Moen EX Black
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Waste King L-8000 is a powerful 1 HP continuous feed disposal with a high-speed 2800 RPM motor, making it ideal for heavy food waste. Its main trade-off is the requirement for a wall switch and a less defined warranty period compared to other models. It is best suited for families generating significant kitchen waste who need robust performance.
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.
