InSinkErator Badger 5 Garbage Disposal, Standard Series 1/2 HP Continuous Feed Food Waste Disposer, Black, Set of 1

We had 2 Builder grade InSinkErator disposals in out kitchen. The first lasted 8 years. Now at 10 years the second broke down. Not too shabby for a device warranted for 3 years. I replaced both with these InSinkErator Badger 5 Garbage Disposals. Except for the power cord, installation was super easy and straight forward. These Badgers do not come with a power cord, so you have to remove the cord from the old unit and reinstall it in these new ones. I can only recommend watching a demo online as this is not a simple process however can be accomplished by most. Other than that, these units fit right into the old fixture with a simple twist, then use the included "L" shaped wrenches into the bracket rings to tighten. Also, If connecting to a dishwasher, the plastic drain plug must be knocked out (this Should have been an external cap to prevent it from being overlooked) and removed from the disposal grinding area prior to installing it.

I had this disposal when I was forced to replace it due to me dropping a metal nut in the old one…Anyway, it was really easy as the old mounting kit was obviously still there, so I just had to swap it and then redo the wiring, I had it done in 30 minutes!

Exact fit replacement for the one that was installed in our house in 1995. It was an easy DIY install. The hardest part was getting the wires and conduit in place as our installation was hard wired. The mechanism that holds the disposer in place while you align it was stiff. I hard to work it back and forth a few times and I even lubricated it so that it would rotate easier. The ID of it was tight on the OD of the disposer.

Installed when kitchen was remodeled in mid-January of 2012. Finally gave up the ghost in late-April of 2025. Flawless performance for more than 13 years. Buying the same make and model again, to replace it.Powerful. Realively quiet performance. Never jammed. Never needed service. Compact enough to fit in tight spaces.Worth twice the price.

Came on time,price was right, little difficulty installing, failey quite

Arrived on time. Working great!

I would replace the old drainage pipes when installing ours were all corroded, but it fits into the old mounting system so you can skip a few steps. Worked great then we were told we needed to move because they wanted to sell the place. Bummer for us great for the new owners.

I bought the InSinkErator Badger 5 as a replacement for another disposal that stopped working. My plumber recommended this brand, noting that it has a solid reputation and a good life expectancy—and I can see why.Installation went smoothly, and the unit runs much quieter than my old one. It handles all types of food scraps with ease and hasn’t struggled with anything I’ve thrown at it so far. It’s efficient, reliable, and just does what it’s supposed to do.Overall, a great product from a trusted brand. Very happy with the purchase!
