“This replaced a 17-year old Badger 5 that was new with our house. the motor became undependable, refusing to start at random times, requiring application of the supplied wrench to get it moving again. We never found any debris or foreign objects in the hopper, it just seemed real stiff to turn with the wrench, so I surmised the motor was getting worn out. We ordered a replacement with same day delivery from plumbingsupplyandmore. It didn't make same day delivery, we were just too late in ordering. Although my wife begged me to get someone to install it, I persisted in doing it my self. I carefully read the instructions, gathered and laid out the recommended tools, rolled up my sleeves and began the process. It was so easy that I was almost disappointed. I will admit, I connected it to the existing sink parts thus precluding the need for the plumbers putty and putty knife. I used the existing drain tube, but installed a new gasket (provided). Connected the dishwasher hose, plugged it in and began a tortures leak test. It ran. It didn't leak. Everyone is happy. My wife's confidence in her 77 year old husband 's handyman skills is renewed. Merry CHRISTmas to all.”
“Thought it was a good deal to shop for the "Looks New Item", but the package came with missing items for installation. Checked with the parts list description from package, a wrench and a rubber seal were missing from the package.”
“reasonable price when compare to local big box store, which none carried the model with the electrical cord already incorporated, Item arrived in new condition withing 24hrs of purchase on plumbingsupplyandmore., installation is about 30-40 minutes specially if you are just replacing similar model, last one 1/3hp model that came with the house lasted 8yrs and started leaking from the bottom, this 1/2hp model seems to be working well and is quieter, it is heavy so just be careful and prop it up with anything to help you keep it up while you secure it to the sink, once lock in place, reconnect all tubing and check for leaks, would definitely recommend this Badger 5 with the electrical cord attached.”
