In-Sink-Erator Badger Garbage Disposal

Great simple disposal

Strengths: easy to install, works fine

Weakness: a little loud

After I accidentally dropped something into my old disposal (a step down from this one) I thought I had to call a plumber and get a new disposal installed since I know nothing about this stuff. Luckily I did some quick research and realized I could replace this thing on my own. I found this model In-sink-erator on Amazon, slightly better than the one I had for around $70. Looked the same, and...

In-Sink-Erator Badger-V

Strengths: Durable, reliable, well built, good price point

Weakness: None on the old model. Housing on new model doesn't seem as strong.

Replaced my first Badger-V with another one. The first one lasted over 16 years without a single day of trouble. Because of this reliability I purchased another one. Didn't even look at any other models. The Badger-V is reasonable priced for the quality of the product.

In-Sink-Erator

Strengths: Works & Installs As Advertised

Weakness: Dishwasher connection harder to connect than older model.

Overall very happy with this product. Had a previous GE that lasted several years and finally gave up (in part due to my ill-advised attempts to fix it). So picked up this product to replace it. Installation was rather simple, it fit the universal mount already on the sink and was connected in a few minutes. The only difficulty was the connection to the dishwasher hose involves two screws which...

badger 5

Strengths: It works but reccomened to get the upgraded one Badger 9

Weakness: After 3yrs it's strated leaking inside the motor dripping down on one of the holes on the bottom cousing my GRFI switch to go out nice for the value but It won't last long..

If your going to get a Garbage Disposal don't get the cheap one becouse on a long run you will buy a new one every 2yrs to 3yrs.. So save your time nad money...

Insinkerator model badger 5

Strengths: Very good cutting blades, very strong motor, quiet operation. Easy installation, well defined instructions.

Weakness: Could have been designed with a stainless steel cutting plate. Should have a place to store the service tool, clamp on side of motor body would be a recommendation

Good value for the money. Would recommend to others. I can see some of the cost cutting that has been done to the replacement unit I installed. One is the rubber back-splash (Opening to the disposal). The rubber has been down graded from the unit that I have removed. Just way to much flex. Should be revisited be insinkerator.

Original lasted over ten years.

Strengths: Will grind most anything you put into it. Best unit in this price range. Reasonably easy to install. Comes with a hex key to clear any clogs.

Weakness: Could be more quiet.

I have gone through several disposers in the 30 or so years I have been a homeowner. I have tried the cheaper 1/3 horsepower disposers and found they clog more easily and don't last. They are not worth the $10 or $20 you save. I have also tried the more expensive 3/4 and 1 horsepower insulated units. They don't seem to grind any better than the 1/2 horsepower models. And the noise seems to come...

great garbage disposal

Strengths: It grinds up everything we put into it.

Weakness: none

We are very happy with our new Badger garbage disposal. It was very easy to install and it grinds up even heavy citrus peels. I haven't tried banana peels yet. It is a very good product for the money.

Insink erator garbage disposal

Strengths: easy to install

Weakness: none

I had an old in sink erator which lasted about 20 years. When it quit I decided to get another In sink erator garbage disposal. I would highly recommend other customers to purchase an in sink erator product

Deteriorating/Leaking

Strengths: None

Weakness: Short life.

I bought a Badger 5 a couple years ago and a hole deteriorated on the side of it, now it is leaking. I'm replacing it with anything but another Insinkerator product.

Insinkerator Badger 5 is a good buy

Strengths: Long service life, easy to install, good price, clear instructions

Weakness: None

All the work came 12 years ago when I replaced my old garbage disposer with a Badger 5. That installation probably took six hours because the old unit was nothing like the new one. When the unit started leaking recently, I simply purchased another Badger 5. The replacement took half an hour with a minimum of tools needed. There were no changes to this unit which had any impact on the...
