Well, the other day I decided to upgrade the plumbing under the kitchen sink from the crappy 1 1/4 inch stuff with those awful cheap compression fittings to 1 1/2 inch glued ABS. I also decided it was time to put in both of my vintage Waste Kings. I have an air switch on the Thermador, still need to get the bracket to mount the button where I want though.

Well, I changed it a bit, put an NOS batch feed model in on the left side to simplify things a bit...

The main difference in performance comes from the ripper blade in the center on the newer one, it lets it chew up things like apple cores and larger rind pieces much more quickly, the older one doesn’t have this, I believe the more expensive super hush and imperial hush disposers had them. Other than that, and the difference in grind chamber material, they sound the same and dispose the same. So far, and completely to my surprise, everyone seems to prefer the batch feed side.

Batch Feed disposers I have always liked BFDs better, they are just easier to see what's going in them and you don't get your fingers slimy shoving through the rubber splash guard.
My first job was at a Maytag Home Appliance Store and we had a demonstration area with a double sink, one bowl had a continuous feed disposer and the other had a BFD, and while the store owners though the BFDs were silly EVERYONE always went for the BFD went they were cleaning up after they ate their lunch.

The idea of putting a batch feed disposer in that side of the sink has always appealed to me, for a couple reasons. The first being it’s the easiest type to hook up there, just plug it in and it has its own switch. I also find it convenient to dump all the food scraps in that side when loading the dishwasher, since it’s the closest to the DW anyway. Then once all the dishes are loaded I just run the disposer. If I have more to dispose of than will fit in the grind chamber I’ll use the continuous feed side. I also use that side if I want to take the splash guard out and watch the action.

No, you do have to run water. The stopper does have to be inserted to activate the disposer. The stopper can be open or closed, basically it can be allowed to let water through or stop it. To run the thing you hav to have the stopper open and push it down into the disposal til it snaps in, then the big ring magnet activated the magnetic switch on the outside of the disposal’s neck.
