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

Did a kitchen refresh after 20 some years. This included a new countertop. Well, if you get a new countertop, you get a new sink. A new sink, a new garbage disposal. The original disposal was still working but very noisy and shook everything on the counter. It went with the old countertop, so I did not have to remove it. That made the job more tolerable. Who likes crawling under a kitchen sink at 70? In-Sink-Erators always seemed to be a good brand and the price seemed decent enough. 1/2H replacing a 1/2H. Package came with all of the parts necessary to install the garbage disposal. However, keep in mind that if you are attaching a dishwasher to it, you may need to get an additional adapter to attach the drain line to the garbage disposal. You may also need to get the proper wire connector to attach the electric line to it. Check these two things out before you get started and it will save you some frustration.Installation is straight forward. Just read the instructions and follow them. I did just what the instruction said to do and how. There were no leaks, runs or errors. I would suggest taking some thought to how it is to hook up to the drain line. Make sure you have it turned to a position that will line up with how you want to attach the drain line. You will need to attach connector part to the sink so as to allow you to attach the GD to it in a way (position) that will line it up properly once the GD is turned into place. The somewhat difficult part for me was getting the electric line attached. Just awkward working under the sink in a tight spot.Once attached and the plumbing done, it was now time to try it out. Wow, what a difference. Smooth and just a hum. No rumbling and shaking. Works as expected. I had to get my wife to come in and listen to it. No longer will she have to catch things vibrating off the countertop. Score one for me!

Quick delivery, easy installation (you do need to use the power cord from the previous unit), nice and quiet. I do recommend that since you are already under the sink, that you replace the remaining plumbing. Purchase the plumbing kit at the same time. Yes, it is extra money and time, but what the heck, you are already taking some of it apart....I will use this for a friend's garbage disposal that needs to be replaced.

One really can't get too excited over a garbage disposal but this one was a good replacement for our previous model. My husband was able to install without help - a plus since plumbing is not his specialty. Operates as described.

Everything I expected it to be. Did the install myself. Took a bit of work but was fun to achieve the install myself.Works well

First, I wanted to say that my purchase was a "Used - Like New" condition.Shipping was extremely fast. I received the garbage disposal 2 days before it was suppose to arrive. The unit was in new condition and was never installed from the looks of the unit. When I opened the box I was a little disappointed in seeing the 90° discharge pipe was broken at the flange. I'm unsure if this was why it was originally returned or happened during shipping. This was a simple and cheap fix at the hardware store. The price I paid, plus the replacement parts still made it will work buying a Used unit.The rest of the install was simple and easy to do even for a first time do it yourselfer. My unit is a 1/2hp and has plenty of power to handle normal prep/ scraps.

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!

Easy to install after watching a YouTube video and reading instructions. Has worked without any issues since instalation

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.
