Badger 5 Garbage Disposal with Power Cord, Badger Series 1/2 HP Continuous Feed Food Waste Disposer

This InSinkErator Badger 5 disposal was a fantastic purchase. I had been pricing these at Home Depot and this one was substantially cheaper for the exact same model, especially with the included power cord. That alone made it an easy decision. Installation was straightforward and everything arrived packaged extremely well with no dents, damage, or missing parts. The unit feels solid and well made, and it runs much quieter than the older disposal it replaced. Plenty of power for normal kitchen use and it handles food waste without any issues. Very happy with the value on this one. Great price, trusted brand, fast shipping, and much better overall deal than buying locally.

Exact replacement, but quieter than my 12-year-old badger that finally froze. Easy installation.

This was a good buy to replace my old one that lasted 15 years. It was easy to install and is a bit quieter than my old one. I was surprised that it's more compact and saves me a little more space as my sink cabinet is very small.

Work perfect. Easy to install. Took about 20 minutes. Very quite.

I've installed a few of these over the years and this is a good product although there are two important things to keep in mind. If you replace the metal flange that goes on top of the sink be aware that the flange is too short for a porcelain sink as it's a lot thicker. I'm sure it works fine for a metal sink. I just removed the old one cleaned it up and resealed it with plumbers putty but the shorter style that comes with it won't work. Also,make sure order a corded or uncorded disposal based on which one you need. Anyway it's a good product and easy to install.

I am a new homeowner and the thought of replacing my own garbage disposal had me convinced I was going to flood my kitchen. I almost just paid someone to do it. Glad I didn’t. It took less than 45 minutes and was very straightforward. **If you have a dishwasher, read this before you start.** There is a plastic knockout plug inside the side inlet that you have to punch out before connecting your dishwasher line. You do it by literally hammering a piece of plastic inside a brand new disposal, which feels like you are breaking it. It is supposed to happen, but do this before you mount the unit. If you do it beforehand, you can just turn the unit upside down and the plastic disc falls right out. If you wait until it is already hooked up to your plumbing, you will have to fish that little disc out from inside the unit. Learn from my mistake. Do it on the workbench first. **On septic systems.** I specifically chose this model because we are on a septic system. High horsepower disposals grind food into a fine slurry that can clog a drain field over time. The 1/2 HP Badger 5 is a better fit. The goal on septic is to use it as little as possible anyway. It is there to catch the occasional scrap that makes it into the drain, not for everyday food waste. Noise: Quieter than my old unit but not a whisper quiet disposal. Running empty it hovers around 72 to 73 dB and spikes to 75 to 76 when actually grinding something. Check my video for the actual meter readings in real time. For context, disposals are generally in the 70-95dB range so this lands right at the lower end of that. Noticeable but not disruptive. Size: Very compact. Frees up real cabinet space under the sink compared to bulkier models. Check my photos showing it mounted with a tape measure for actual clearance. Value: Cheaper here than at the hardware store and the power cord comes pre-installed which saved me extra time and money. Install: Straightforward swap if you take your time. The Lift and Latch mounting system is simple and you can do it solo. Solid unit. If I can do it, you can too. You’ve got this.

My disposal died right after I bought a new home and it was no longer under warranty. I read that a self-install would be relatively easy if it was plugged in and not wired into my wall (mine was plugged in) and I bought the same brand just updated the model. I watched a YouTube video and it looked simple enough. Ordered this model and it arrived the next day. Took me a few hours because I took breaks and had to run to the store for Plumbers Putty, but I did it! It works great and I’m so glad I didn’t hire someone and spend hundreds of dollars. Pro tip: Use AI if you don’t understand the instructions and have Plumbers Putty ready to go! Besides that, I only used a hammer and a screwdriver.

This disposal took a full week to arrive. Installation was fairly straightforward and went smoothly. However, once I plugged unit into my duplex receptacle and turned receptacle on, motor would only hum for a few seconds as though it were jammed and tripped the reset. I inserted Allen key into bottom of unit to check for jam and motor rotated back and forth smoothly. Reset the motor with the bottom reset, tried again, motor hummed again and trip reset again. I couldn't wait another week for replacement, so I purchased the same model from Home Depot, installed, tested and it operated as expected. Amazon note indicates installed unit will not be refunded, but there is no safe procedure to detect motor failure without installing and turning unit on.

Product is horrible and couldn’t get in touch with th seller

this seems to be american with american plugs and so on. i have had 2 electricians to look at it and they won't fit it becauase it works on 110 volts not 240 here in england. If it is fitted the current here will make it blow. so unfortunately i am sending it back.

Good product, works perfectly, only took an hour or so to install. It was a replacement for an old Badger. I would recommand!

El triturador cubre mis necesidades de funcionamiento, mínimo ruido, fácil de instalar y excelente relación calidad - precio.

Si libera gratamente de los desperdicios orgánicos no deseados porque algunos son de buen uso pero hay otros que realmente no. Funciona muy bien y es muy práctico siguiendo las instrucciones de operación en el orden correcto. El ruido no es incómodo y tiene muy buena potencia para triturar. Yo solicité la instalación a un plomero y realmente me dejó satisfecho. Lo instaló en 2 1/2 hrs con todo y botón de aire y contacto bajo la tarja.
