Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Easy install
Summary: 5 Stars
I was replacing a very old unit that was the same model. I can't speak to the longevity of this replacement, but the install was very simple. I did have to make a quick trip to Home Depot though because the drain connection on this one was a little different than the old one. Plastic piping is so simple that this wasn't a problem. (I had no experience doing anything like this before if that helps give you a little confidence that you can do this too.)Customer Review: Badge the Badger
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this food waste disposer to replace an identical one because I knew it would fit my plumbing. I wanted to avoid the hastle of altering the plumbing to fit another brand. The Badger I replaced threw a cutter (it came out of the opening while the disposer was running) and also rotted out on the side at the top half. I'm hoping this one does better. The material at the top does not appear to be metal like the first one.Customer Review: Beware of missing parts
Summary: 2 Stars
I was replacing a unit that was 9 years old. This unit does NOT come with a power cord or the rubber gasket needed to mount the unit to the upper mount. I had to reuse both parts from the old unit. Not happy with this. The box had no instructions in it and the instructions online are very poor. The unit did work once I mounted it. It seams to be quieter than the old one. Just be prepared to buy extra parts when buying this unit.Customer Review: Badger 5
Summary: 4 Stars
My previous one lasted about 7 years. Installed the newest one because i didn't feel like changing the plumbing under my sink. Easy to install and no problems as of yet. Has been installed for about a month. Works but not the best ever but also not the most expensive. Install and use correctly and don't abuse with excessive stuff jammed in it all at once and run with water to aid in moving debris through and it'll be fine.Customer Review: Cracks and leaks
Summary: 2 Stars
Had a Badger 5 in the kitchen of a new home, now 5 years old. Worked fine. A bit loud. After 5 years, developed SEVERAL cracks that leaked just as many others have reported. It was very easy to replace with another InSinkErator disposal (InSinkErator 3/4 HP Evolution Compact® Continuous Feed Disposer). Seems solid, very quiet. hard to know if the upgrade was worth it....they all just chew up your waste after all.
