What's great about it: Easy install quiet operation good grinding ability.
What's not so great: Docs are not the best for a beginner.
Price: Was a little more than a few other brands with similar specs.
Install: Easy even for a beginner just read the docs closely.
I found the install process predictable except for a few things. It mentions you need the "fiber seal" to be placed between the lower assembly and the sink yet no seal is included. If you read further you will see that they want you to use the rubber seal provided that would normally be used as a top seal for a metal sink. In my case I have a composite sink and used plumbers putty ( not included ) I had to cut the provided elbow but I expect this is also normal though not clearly mentioned in the docs ( they do mention you need a saw ).

Quality:
Seems well built but we shall see. My KitchenAid lasted 12 years with a few leaking issues over that time when it finnaly died due to my own stupidity using a plunger on my sink to clear a clog and blew out the gasket. ( don't do it man!!!! )

Performance:
Quieter than my last unit a kitchen aid Kadet 250 1/2 HP.
Seems to grind well but does take a little longer to work but seems to grind to a finer level probably a lot better for the drain.
Drainage is very good even while grinding.

What's great about it: its a waste king
What's not so great: its not what I ordered
the unit received was not the easy mount model but the three prong...which by the way is what the picture is showing....receipt says I purchased model ss3300, but bottom of unit clearly says legend 9940...maybe not a problem...I will install..the reputation is great so I have high hopes..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Not much
What's not so great: Doesn't seem to want to grind food scraps.
I just finished installing a Waste King-3/4 HP EZ Mount Disposer-9940 and so far, what a large disappointment. Installation was no easier or harder than any other, the sound is pretty quiet, but the first thing I tried to put through it was some watermelon rind and it took forever. The jury is still out as far as keeping it, but it is certainly over priced for the performance level. In my opinion, it is worth $59 tops; no where near $170 but I am willing to try it for a few days. Overall, very disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Works great and is quiet too
This was the best value on Consumer Reports and we feel it's a great buy. The 3/4 HP is powerful and the grinding mechanism is fast & relatively quiet. Our plumber said to run warm to hot water and lots of it every time we use it to keep our pipes clear. The inner area is stainless which shouldn't corrode.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: easy to install, easy to follow directions
What's not so great: nothing so far
This disposal was easy to install and had easy to understand/easy to follow directions. It was more difficult getting my old disposal out than putting this one in. The most time consuming part was attaching the house hardwire to the unit, since in comes with a preinstalled power cord. Other than that, no problems.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: well rated by consumer reports
What's not so great: comments by professional reviewers
Product seems ok.
Problem is the only review available before this one, was by (please look at first review). Neat sign says see other reviews by this individual. So I did. I immediately noticed that this other reviewer found NOTHING bad in any of the products that he reviewed.
Please don't believe me, go read all his reviews!
