Review of Waste King L-3300 features

Grinding power

The Waste King L-3300’s ¾ HP permanent magnet motor provides ample power to grind through most types of organic food waste. The high-speed motor runs at 2700 RPM, which is faster than many other disposals in its price range. With its fast motor, you can rest assured there will be fewer chances of clogs and jams.

Moreover, while more powerful disposals are available, the L-3300 can easily handle most medium-sized households’ needs. It can grind up most types of food waste, including hard vegetables, meat, and bones, with minimal jams.

The L-3300’s stainless steel grind ring, swivel impellers, and speedy motor ensure a smooth grinding process. So, you will not have to worry about frequent jams that can make your daily disposal tasks a challenge. The swivel impellers also help to reduce vibration and noise, making the disposal operation quieter than many other models. 

In addition, its continuous feed operation is a convenient feature that makes grinding more efficient, as it allows for constant feeding of waste while the disposal is running.

Build quality

A garbage disposal doesn’t last long if it has the potential to rust. L-3300, however, has a durable construction that guarantees optimal performance. 

Its stainless steel grinding components are corrosion-resistant and designed to last. The reinforced polymer grind chamber is also corrosion-free and can withstand heavy usage.

Additionally, the disposal’s compact and robust design helps to minimize the risk of leaks and failures, ensuring a longer lifespan.

Dimensions

Don’t let the bulkiness of this disposal unit put you off. L-3300’s 14.5-inch height and 8.5-inch width may make it larger than some other models, but it is still compact enough to fit under most kitchen sinks. Also, its 30 oz. grind chamber capacity is ideal for a medium-sized household, making it suitable for families of up to 5 people. However, if you have a small kitchen, it is essential to ensure that you have enough space under your sink before purchasing the L-3300.

Installation

L-3300 may be a large size, but its installation is straightforward. It is an EZ mount disposal unit, which makes it quick and easy to install. The mounting assembly is included in the package, and the disposal comes with a pre-installed power cord that can be plugged into any regular outlet. The disposal also comes with a rubber dishwasher drain hose, making it simple to connect to your dishwasher. Additionally, the L-3300’s front-mounted reset button is a safety feature that ensures quick and easy restarts in case of overload or jams.

Noise levels

One of the L-3300’s standout features is its quiet operation. The grinding components’ insulation lining helps reduce noise output, making it one of the quietest disposals available. The disposal’s low noise level also ensures that it won’t disturb other activities in your home while it’s in operation.

Ease of use

The L-3300 is a user-friendly disposal that is easy to operate and maintain. Its continuous feed operation and powerful motor ensure that the food waste is ground quickly and efficiently. The removable splash guard makes cleaning easy, and the front-mounted reset button ensures that any jams or overloads can be quickly and safely resolved. You just need to press the manual reset button to get back to running status.

Warranty

Waste King products are known for their long-lasting durability, and the L-3300 is no exception. The disposal comes with a 10-year limited warranty, which is one of the longest warranties available for any garbage disposal. This warranty provides peace of mind and ensures that you can rely on the L-3300 for long-lasting performance and reliability.
