InSinkErator BADGER5, Continuous-Feed Garbage Disposal without Cord, Waterborne Gray Enamel, 1/2 HP Reviews

4.1 Rating 590 Reviews
This unit replaces the 50XP one which leaked over the weekend. Struggled a bit during installation due to the locking ring not aligned with the upper metal one. Had to tape it down flat so I can rotate the ring to the locking position.Had to use a mall hydraulic jack to raise the unit up.

This disposal seems to work okay, but it is loud.

For the love of god just please use stainless steel for components. This is a great, otherwise durable disposal and if they would only use stainless steel it would last decades rather than 3-5 years. But like clockwork, moisture over that time erodes the parts and starts a slow leak. Such a waste because the motor would last so much longer.

Replaced duplicate model however original installation was wired. Had to remove plug by removing shield, cutting the wires, rewire, use existing wire caps, then electric tape. New unit not a tall, so had to reuse torn plastic shield. Installation took several attempts to get it right. 30 minute installation took several hours. Would have preferred no 3-prong plug design instead. Good product

4 stars only for the following reasons:Instructions are vague, unit is a little bit on the louder side, you NEED a car jack to install it, and it did not come with the appropriate dishwasher drain hose adapter. How many households DON'T have a dishwasher? This is a very cheap rubber adapter part (sold on plumbingsupplyandmore.) that they should include in every unit package to avoid the hassle of having to order another part and wait an extra day or 2 with an unusable dishwasher.

Everything works and came as described. Installing was easy. Only issue is the plastic drain plug that came with it came with a large crack rendering it useless.

I like this product but the price is not comparable.

After the garbage disposal was installed the dishwasher flooded. A BIG NOTICE should be given to check for a plug before installation!
