Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Replacement Food Disposer
Summary: 5 Stars
I moved into a new town-home in 2003 which included a InSinkErator Badger 1/4 HP disposer. It lasted up until this year, 2010.
I decided to upgrade to the 1/2 HP Badger 5. The installation could not have been more straight-forward and simple. I won't lie; I didn't do it since my handy-man brother was helping me, but it took him but 15 minutes. It works like a charm and helps out with the smelly food-waste fermenting in a garbage can. I would recommend this to anyone with little do-it-yourself knowledge and someone who wants to keep cost down.
Customer Review: Lasted 7 Years
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought this unit new from Lowes and installed it myself. The install was easy but after 7 years of use I now have to uninstall the unit. I noticed a water leak under my sink and traced it back to the garbage disposal.
It was leaking out the bottom through the electrical area. The disposal is loud and has clogged up only a couple of times. Overall maybe a good unit or maybe I just got lucky based on all of the other reviews, but I am going to replace it with a Kenmore unit. For the price I paid I'll give it 3 stars.
Customer Review: Poor quality
Summary: 1 Stars
This ubnit came with our how (new construction). After three months of use, the motor burnt out and it was under warrenty and replaced. Now, 2.5 years after the replacement, i found that the body of the unit has a crack running almost the the entire length of the body. It's not like a disposal has a lot of water pressure pushing out of it. Based on the number of similar complaints and my own persoanl experience with this disposal, it appears that this is a device that was constructed poorly and I would avoid the unit all together.Customer Review: Great little garbage disposal
Summary: 5 Stars
We looked at several garbage disposals before deciding that it really isn't necessary to pay almost $100 more to get one of the "quiet" ones, since you need to run water along with the disposal, and that makes quite a bit of noise in itself. We are very happy with the Badger and were able to install it on our own fairly easily. It is as loud as garbage disposals always have been, but we both agree that muffling the sound would be as dissatisfying as when Vegas took out the coins dropping into the metal bins of slot machines.Customer Review: Easy Installation
Summary: 5 Stars
I replaced an 8 year old Badger 3 model that was leaking with this new Badger 5. Because they are the same make and attach to the sink and pipes the same way, I simply popped out the old unit and popped in the new one. I left in place the stainless steel drain/bracket from the old one. I did have to do two other things: 1) transfer the cord from the old to the new unit and 2) trim two inches from the new plastic elbow to make it match my paticular sink geometry. The new disposer works great.
