Yes. Installed a 1 HP Waste King Legend 8000 about 6 years ago. Had a Badger 1/2 HP which constantly plugged, stalled, backed up sink etc.
Installed the Waste King myself and have had absolutely no problems. We lovingly refer to it as "The Beast". No stalls , backups etc. When you turn it on you feel the Power. Seem to think it was about $100. Bought on internet, with power cord installed.
Installation connections were common to the badger.
The installation was not that difficult. The one issue was lifting it up to connect to the sink since I was doing it myself. Solved that problem a number of magazines to get it close, and then tapped slanted shims in to raise it to where connectors engaged.
Cheers for " The Beast".
