Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Don't buy this product
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought the Badger 5 Plus model about six years ago. It is the same as the model 5 except there is added sound insulation around the top of the unit. After about two and a half years it began leaking out the bottom of the unit- I started checking out if there was a way to repair it, but there wasn't. I then noticed this unit came with a three year in-home warranty, so I called and the company had a service technician come out and replace the unit at no charge. After another three years, this one is leaking out the bottom! Time for a new disposal, and guess what? There's no way I'd buy another one of these- in fact I'm not going to take a chance with any InSinkErator product at all.Customer Review: Defective Design
Summary: 1 Stars
Installed a new Badger 5 four years ago. Easy enough to install and it worked fine but it started leaking recently and I found a vertical crack at the back of the body. Called the service line and the warranty is 3 years and of course it went bad in 4. From reading other reviews the body cracking is obviously a common problem that they know about. I asked if they could do anything for me and all they offered was a small discount on the same model - I don't think so. I went with a sure thing and got the Waste King 3300 and it's 10 year in-home warranty after reading the reviews. It goes to show you shouldn't buy anything without doing your research first, not even a garbage disposer.Customer Review: Will not last
Summary: 1 Stars
I have lived in my house for only ten years and have already had two garbage disposals. The last one purchased at home depot was the Badger 5. This one lasted less than 4 years. It worked fine while it worked. Just this week I found a ton of water under my sink and found that the flywheel seal was toast. I thought I could replace it but the service department indicated that the body is made of plastic and can not be serviced without a high cost. They indicated it would be most cost effective to buy a new one.
I will and I plan to purchase a different brand. Don't fool yourself I am an Engineer and know they can do better than this.

Customer Review: Insinkerator Badger 5 Disposal Review
Summary: 5 Stars
InSinkErator Badger 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer - Badger 5I purchased this as a replacement for a Badger 1 - 1/3 hp model which was 11 years old and had worn out cutter blades which caused sink stoppages. It physically matched exactly the size dimensions of the old one and all plumbing parts matched up perfectly with no problems. It was rather easy to install and works perfectly in our sink. With the added motor power it easily works to perfection, although no quieter than the old one. I can understand why this is the #1 choice of professional plumbers.
