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

4.1 Rating 590 Reviews
Noise level is off the chart. Very loud. Unit performs great & it’s a good value but not if your looking for a quiet unit.

The majority of negative comments written before my review are accurate in my experience. This was my fourth unit replacement in the last twelve years or so. On average, the two prior to this most recent purchase lasted three years. HOWEVER, if you’re just swapping out units it’s a relatively easy 20-30 minute job. My point is, buy it at a good price if you can. Know it’s going to be relatively easy to swap out. But accept that in all likelihood it’s probably going to fail in 2-3 years. Personally, if I thought that spending more would render a different outcome, I’d spring for the extra money. However, few things are built to last any more. Sad turn of events. Buy quality American-made goods wherever you can find them. Know that you may pay a few dollars more. But it employs American workers, which strengthens our country and the money stay home folks. Win win in my book.

I purchased this item to replace an identical one that had developed an internal leak. The old one lasted 14 years. I hope the new one lasts a little longer. I decided to buy another one mostly due to the ease of installation, price and availability. We don't use it very much.

I just received this item, which makes me reluctant to rate it so soon. I must say that it was very easy to install, although I must say that I was replacing a virtually identical model. I had one issue, self-made, as I didn't read the instructions carefully enough. ;-) As a garbage disposal, it works, it's relatively quiet, and I don't ask much more than that, especially since I felt the price was right.

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.

This is an exact replacement for an existing garbage disposal that started leaking underneath.I did not install the original and have lived in my house for 6 years, so the longevity of these is not certain.The house is 18 years old, and I am not sure if the leaking unit is the original garbage disposal.Therefore, just be aware that these are prone to leaking, especially if you have hardwood floors and mold sensitivity.
