Product review (5 stars): Great Splash Guard, better than the original!
We have the Waste King L-8000 disposal and this is the first replacement drain cover we've gotten.  I was a little nervous about the purchase because I'd seen some people complaining about it not fitting their disposal but it fit perfectly.

Lots of negative reviews with comments about food not going down and this is true, unless I push it through, esp with smaller pieces.  But I don't really have an issue with it as this feature also prevents silverware and other undesirable items from going down accidentally.

Some have complained that it won't drain fast enough to keep up with their sink, my sink puts out a high volume of water and I do not have this problem at all.

What I typically do is to turn on the water, put the stuff in and either push it down or pull the cover off for a moment, rinse whatever it is down, then replace the cover and turn on the disposal.

The fact that the baffles fit tightly together is the thing that minimizes the noise coming from the disposal and with the splash guard on it is very quiet, people watching TV in the room can still hear it.

After 3 years the splash guard that originally came with the disposal was completely toast and I threw it away.  I had more issues with the original splash guard than I'm having with this one, very pleased with the new one.  The original splash guard, for whatever reason had a terrible problem with the ground up food getting caught between the metal ring on the sink and the splash guard, so bad that if I did not remember to pull the splash guard out and rinse it after every disposal session sometimes the food would spoil and we'd get unpleasant odors until I cleaned it out.

With the replacement splash guard I am not having these issues.

I read the reviews about the guard not lasting very long so I bought two but so far no problems at all.

The only negative I've encountered is the stopper itself - it's a tight fit and I've had issues getting it to completely prevent water from draining, I typically have to fiddle with it and it takes more than one try if I want the sink to hold water for say, half an hour or more.
