Product review (4 stars): Good replacement for original part that should have lasted longer
The original OEM splash guard on my Waste King Legend 8000 EZ Mount disposer lost most of it's rubber teeth after only 4 years of use, which was disappointing for such an otherwise good product that has a lifetime warranty. With a little research I learned that this replacement splash guard (Part #1025) is the only one that fits properly in my particular disposer opening, and I ordered it through Amazon, shipped by Binford Supply House (which was a couple dollars cheaper, including shipping, than the Amazon Prime option). Its fit in the sink opening is tight and snug as it should be, sound dampening is excellent, and I hope to get many years of service from it. Other reviewers who complain that it's too stiff and food needs to be pushed through perhaps don't appreciate that one purpose of a splash guard is to prevent things from falling through too easily. The fact that a basic plastic stopper is included in the package seems superfluous since I got a deluxe stopper with the original disposer, but it's probably just a few cents worth of plastic and can serve as a backup if necessary. All in all, a satisfactory purchase at a quite reasonable price.
