Worst install EVER

[~sudsshane]

Hi Eugene~

"When my ancient, takes-forever-to-grind, uber-loud Waste King bites it, I'm definitely going to replace it with an ISE".

I recently had a brand new Waste King disposer installed in my kitchen sink and I just LOVE IT! It is as quiet as a mouse, and even better, I bought it off eBay for only $120.00. Jeff Parker tells me it is the top of the line model and it also has a lifetime in house warranty.

If you are interested, let me know and I can put you in touch with the guy who sold it to me. He was a pleasure to deal with and the shipping was very fast.

Let me know if I can help.

Shane

Thanks for the info, Shane. It looks like a great disposer. I'm not looking to replace mine at the moment---I'm still counting pennies for getting my roof re-shingled and a new privacy fence put up in my back yard in August. I love my new LG dw, but it definitely put a dent in the checkbook *LOL*.

is this Waste King made in China?

Made in China?

Yep!

well-

Whether or not it is Made in China, It is still a great garbage disposer. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Where is ISE made?

 

[johnb300m]

All of ISE disposers are made in their factory in Racine, WI.

Their new Grind/Shear rings I believe are made in Racine too. The die for those was designed by Rockford Toolcraft in Rockford, IL. The stationary lugs on their top of the line disposers were also done at Rockford Toolcraft.

All of ISE's hardware, i.e. clamps, wire nuts etc. are all sourced from my company, IDEAL Industries in Sycamore, IL.

ISEs are probably the most domestically sourced disposers out there. They even wind their motors on site in WI.
Just that alone is worth their premium price to me.

ISE also makes most of the Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Emerson disposers as well.
If it looks like an ISE, nevermind the brand, then it is an ISE. All made here in the good ole' midwest.

Another note ISE is owned by Emerson electric-one of the largest small motor makers in the US.so the motor in your ISE disposer--is an Emerson!
AC condenser unit fan motors-yes I have had to install these for of all things -radio stations.When you replace a condenser motor where the motor is under the fan--remember to put the disc shaped plastic or metal part called the "slinger" on before the fan propeller.the slinger is included with the replacement motor.Be sure not to forget it.It prevents rain and snow from falling into the motor when its stopped.When it starts the slinger throws it out of the motor.the "sealed" motor is what is called "air over"relies on the airstream from the fan to cool it.As a note NEVER run such a motor rated "air Over" unless the fan blade is installed on the motor shaft.It will rapidly overheat.and if you have a tech service your condensor motor-be sure to remind him to install the slinger.the motor won't last long without it.If the motor is ABOVE the fan-the slinger isn't required.and another note-some condenser fan motors need start-run caps-replace it anyway when you replace the motor.no sense in an old cap causing a new motor to fail.Learned these from experience.

ISE motors are indeed Emerson motors. That's ok, they seem to be quite durable.
I seriously can't tell a difference between a pre-Emerson ISE and a post one.
They're remarkably similar.

When I go out on a disposer job, the customer usually says, " I do not understand it- we are very careful with it & I do not put alot of stuff down in it.."

haha. all you have to do is search for "insinkerator" or garbage disposal on Youtube and watch in horror what people do to those machines.
