“I had an old Badger 9 (same company) that went bad a couple of years ago but I decided to not replace it at the time because I'm on a septic and dont put scraps in the sink anyway. Well after years of this (I had a metal filter in the drain to catch debris) I decided that it was a pain to have to constantly clean the screen so I decided to replace the disposal after all.. Well, it was a 20 minute job. it had everything you need to replace my old one. Same inlet and outlet for dishwasher and drain. same adapter to go 90 degrees out of the disposal to the drain. Its about as quiet as my last one but it is a smaller model. the Badger 9 is 3/4 HP while this is 1/2 but it seems every bit as capable based on the sounds it makes.. its slightly shorter than my old one which is nice since it gives me a little more room under the sink. I was surprised at how easy it was to install and how easy the old one was to remove. the tool they give you will fit in the mounting ring on the old one allowing you to twist without having to use a hammer to remove and the tool will work to tighten the new on completely. I did have to lay on my side and stick my head in cupboard to get the new one in position but of course you do.. it wont install itself.. Dont be afraid to try it, you dont need to be handy to install this, just look at the old one first.Two things to help1, be sure to remove the small plug in the top drain for the dishwasher, it will need a hammer and punch to push through but you can stick your hand in to catch it.2, install the main drain adapter (if you need an adapter) to the disposal BEFORE you install under the sink and then reconnect the drain. Much easier that way. (just loosen the drain fittings first)There are better and options with more features but like I said, I almost never use it being on a septic so for me its perfect.. and for right at 100 dollars.. HD wanted 50% more for the same model.”

“Exact replacement for broken disposal so replacement was easy. Cord is on the disposal already so there was no wiring. Took about 10 minutes to do the swap.”
