Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Badger 1 1/3 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Proportional quality to its price
Summary: 3 Stars
After buying 3 of these in 15 years, I've started to see a pattern (!). My latest Badger 1 started leaking through the various screw/circuit breaker holes in the bottom. On the previous ones owned, I had a permanent leak on one and an unclearable-jam on the other. All of these "cheaper" Badger Insinkerators have galvanized steel rotators and stainless blades...what that means is, in about a month or two, when you look into the unit it will seem horribly rusted because the galvanized steel will still rust. That's just par for the course for these models. (Actually, I think the InSinkErator Badger 5XP 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer which is similar to the Badger 9 at the big-box home stores, might be all stainless). You get a 1 year warranty with the Badger 1, it's 1/3 HP, but it has no sound insulation. In truth, none of this had ever really bothered me except for perhaps the lack of all-stainless steel components. I live in Phoenix where the water is very hard, although I do have a water softener (salt-based), yet I'm a still a little disappointed with the 5 year life span I'm getting. I do not use disposals much, but I pretty much want to have one installed for those occasional times or when guests arrive, who would usually expect one.
This time, I think I'm going to try the InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer. It's $169 on Amazon (same at brick and mortar stores), but it's a step up in most ways...all stainless steel internal components, sound insulation, a larger grind chamber (34.6 oz compared to 26 oz for the Badger 1), more HP, and a 4 year warranty. If I get 10 years out of this one, it would be the same cost as two Badger 1's lasting 5 years each.
So you can decide for yourself. If you live in a softer-water area, or don't demand much from your disposal, or are a landlord, this one may be for you. But based on my experience (and apparently, that of several other people in the reviews here), you do seem to be giving up some longer-term reliability with the less-expensive models.
Description of InSinkErator Badger 1 1/3 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
The In-Sink-Erator Badger 1-1/3 HP food waste disposer adds quality, performance, and reliability to the innovative product features found in waste disposal units. Powered by rugged induction motors and mounted to your sink with tough, stainless steel assemblies, In-Sink-Erator disposers are designed for years of trouble-free service. The included heavy-duty dura-drive motor is designed and manufactured to the same exacting specifications found in major appliances such as washers and dryers. The increased horsepower allows the disposer to grind even tough bones quickly and efficiently, while the stainless steel construction in the grind system prevents corrosion from shortening the life of the disposer.

The disposer also features a quick-lock sink mount that makes installation fast and easy. Simply twist off the old disposer and twist on the new one. The device delivers a continuous feed, as well as 360-degree swivel impellers. This disposer also features a 1-year parts and in-home warranty.InSinkErator? Badger? Food Waste Disposers

Environmentally Friendly, Wallet-Friendly Choice
The InSinkErator? Badger? food waste disposer is a practical and environmentally responsible wayto help reduce the 31 million tons of solid waste generated from food scraps in the U.S. each year.
Instead of throwing this food waste away, grinding it with the InSinkErator? Badger? sends it to your local municipal wastewater treatment plant, where it can be recycled to produce methane, a renewable source of power for the plant. Additionally, wastewater treatment plants can process food waste into biosolids to be used as fertilizer (check the plant in your area).
Food waste disposers average less than 50 cents a year in electricity to operate and account for less than one percent of a household's total water consumption. In fact, the InSinkErator? Badger? features an average water usage of one gallon per person per day and an average electrical usage of three to four kilowatt hours per year, making it among the least expensive installed kitchen appliances.
