Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Badger 1, 1/3 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Value for the money
Summary: 3 Stars
This disposer was installed by my builder about ten years ago. it had light to moderate use (vacation home). It finally kicked the bucket just in time for Christmas. I did all the troubleshooting steps just to find out that the inner parts had rusted into dust and that was why the machine no longer worked. I had never heard of such a thing, and when I contacted the company, found out there was only a one year warranty and somehow I was ahead of the game. The company handled it well, they were professional and prompt. I did make sure that the next disposer I bought had a longer warranty and more horsepower.Customer Review: Died after two years

This unit was installed in the condo my boyfriend bought, and worked OK for the first little while, but after about 2 years of light use it stopped working (totally dead; tried all the suggested fixes, many times, no luck reviving it), and about the same time we noticed a growing crack in the black plastic body of the disposal, where a small leak had developed (thankfully that seemed to happen about when we stopped using it, so we didn't have any issues with the floor of the cabinet rotting or having mold develop like others have).Customer Review: Great if you like leaks

I did not purchase this through Amazon, it came with the house I purchased a year and a half ago. After only 18 months, this garbage disposal has started leaking through the bottom of the housing. Not the sides, not the top... but the bottom through the reset button, screw threads and all other holes. If you've read anything online about garbage disposal repair, you'll see that this type of leak is the kiss of death. Do yourself a favor and don't buy this unit, you'll only be buying another one a year or two later.Customer Review: Did the job

Purchased this item as it was the same one previously installed in our sink. It had lasted 5 years before breaking, which is good, I think?...
However; when the item was received, it did not come with a cord, which seems it should be standard...Guess it's my fault for not reading the 'fine print'. Anyhow, it took my husband twice as long and twice as much effort as he had to remove the cord from the broken one, and install it in the new one, (which isn't as easy as it sounds).
Customer Review: By Evolution model, not Badger
Summary: 2 Stars
I too have one that leaked water through the casing. I can understand if it fails after awhile where the blades wear out or motor wears out but they shouldn't have a casing that opens up and leaks water in the under sink cabinet.
I've replaced this with a more expensive Evolution model. It costs more but I figure over a 10 year span, I'll have saved more money and frustration than buying Badger models over and over. Too many Badger reviews also say their casings leaked.
