Waste King rules!
After going through three 3/4 HP Insinkerators in 10 years, I'd had it with that brand. Having recently switched to Waste King, I can say that the 1 HP model is quiet and powerful. The difference between 3/4 HP and 1 HP is huge. The accompanying manual says that you can put corn cobs in the Waste King--they don't recommend it since they take a very long time to grind, but, trust me, it would be disposal suicide to try corn cob disposal in an Insinkerator. As an experiment, I did put a corn cob into the Waste King, and it did grind it down (took about 5 minutes). To me, this is impressive.
I don't know how long the Waste King will last, but the unit seems to be much sturdier and stronger than the Insinkerator (I'm speaking of the 3/4 HP Insinkerator that Home Depot carries).
Pros:
Easy to install and the instructions were reasonably clear.
Powerful, quiet, hasn't jammed once in the 3 months I've had it.
Larger opening than the equivalent...
excellent, safe disposal
I have been happy with this disposal. It is very safe since it is only operates with the drain cover securely covering the throat of the disposal. There is no risk for fingers to get caught unawares or for shards of food (such as bones) to unexpectently fly out. It is quiet, powerful and I have not had difficulty correctly positioning the cover to activate the switch.

Purchased the waste disposal about 1 month ago. It was quite easy to install. It is more quiet than other reviews lead you to believe. Noise is absolutely not an issue. A small detail that seems to annoy my wife and my son is that you have to be quite precise in lining up the disposal cover to get the contact. Our previous disposal did not require to line up anything. This one has about 1/8 in. slit that needs to line up. They will learn and hopefully get better at it...
