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

4.1 Rating 590 Reviews
First time installing a garbage disposal and it was a great experience. I was replacing an existing disposal. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Although it was tricky holding it up to attach it, I managed to do it myself fairly quickly. Works great!! Highly recommend this product!

A great product, made in America. Installation took 10 mins, it was extremely easy to put this thing in. No leaks, which is always nice. And it is super quiet, at least compered to the Moen 1/3HP unit it replaced. Overall, a great purchase, at a great price. 10/10, would recommend all day long.

i had a 10-year old Badger that was just starting to leak from the bottom of the casing, so i bought a Badger 5 to replace it. it is working great so far. i have about 2 hours of use on it as of now. the install instructions are pretty good - they even include skip steps if you are replacing rather than installing new. the replacement process took about 30 min from prep to clean up - very easy. 2 things that i will mention: 1) if you like to scan quickly through instructions, pay special attention to the step if you have a dishwasher - you need to knock out a piece of plastic inside the dishwasher inlet on the disposal. very simple task, but easy to miss if you're scanning directions. 2) definitely use the o-ring/gasket that is supplied, which goes inside the outflow port. my other Badger did not have an o-ring, so i skipped it initially on my install of the new one. that did not go well when testing. it leaked of course. i pulled the outlet piping off, put the o-ring in, and zero leaks.

Easy enough to install. No surprises. Largely plastic housing. Instructions were pretty clear and adequately sequenced. Packaging was not up to the job, however, but thankfully no resulting damage to the disposal unit itself. Performed as advertised/claimed after installation. At this point, would buy again.
