Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Won't last
Summary: 3 Stars
Hey, I am reviewer 75, so I am sure some other people will say the same thing. We put in a new one about every four years. These don't last. Sure the motor holds up, and sure, it gets noisier with age, but the guts rust out and the seal goes out first. I love water leaks near electricity, but maybe it's just me... . Be sure to read the instructions at least a little.
Any other brand to buy? This is made by Emerson, who makes most of them out there. Good luck finding a good one.
Customer Review: Good Product easy to install
Summary: 4 Stars
I had an InSinkErator that was in my house when I bought it. I had it for 10 years so who knows how old it was. When it wore out I was certain that it would be a big job to replace it. I ordered the same model (yes they still make the same model) and I installed it without changing a single fitting. It took about a half hour and it is very hard to access under my sink. I could have installed it quicker if it wasn't so tight under my kitchen sink.
Customer Review: Heavy duty.
Summary: 4 Stars
Badger 5 replaced two other brand disposals which were underpowered and didn't last long. The Badger 5 has lasted years, never clogs, and runs really cool. Whereas the previous ones overheated under a large load.
Insinkerator makes an add-on optional 3 way flexible output tube which connects over to the trap, which solves most installation problems, fits most of their models including this one, see it online for about $5 various places.
Satisfied!
Customer Review: Quiet Efficiency
Summary: 5 Stars
When it comes to buying a disposer or as we use to say 'dispose-all' there are more choices than you really need. If you are buying for regular home use, say 1-2x/day, then the Badger InSinkErator 5 1/2 HP is perfect. It's powerful motor will grind up most that you throw at it and is relatively quiet for a 'dispose-all'. That's not to say you want it going the whole time you watch a movie in the next room, but it is quiet efficiency and usually for a good price.Customer Review: Another Cracked Housing
Summary: 1 Stars
Here's another one for the list of cracked housings on the Badger 5 model. The unit is only about 4 years old and started leaking from the bottom of the unit. Service had me run through the usual and never told me that this was a common problem with this model. I would not buy another insinkerator model at this point, there are too many other good products on the market. The replacement model for the Badger 5 is the Badger 5 XP if anyone is interested.
