InSinkErator Garbage Disposal with Power Cord, Badger 5, Standard Series, 1/2 HP Continuous Feed, Black

Easy to install and it works!

Replaced my old unit (same brand, size, & HP) due to old age. The new one runs great and does the job. I dont like to put a lot of stuff down the drain into the water treatment facility, so I use it sparingly. The old one lasted for 8 or 10 years, so if I get that out of this one Ill be happy.

Less expensive than going to HD or Lowes, arrived next day. Getting old disposal out was a little difficult, sprayed with WD40 worked like a charm. Stacked book on top of a box in order to get to correct height to install new disposal by myself.

My other brand disposal went out after only 18 months so I certainly didnt buy another from that company as they ignored my emails asking for them to honor their 2-5 year warranty (TEPPCO). This is a good brand based on reviews. Im 71 and certainly no plumber but removed the old one and installed this one in less than 2 hours including a trip to hardware store for plumbers putty (which they could have included a small quantity). Quiet and works great and no leaks so Im happy. UPDATE: in operation now for two weeks... humming away. Very satisfied so far.

Easy to install and simply plug in to work (replaced an older, 10 year Badger) - didnt have to mess with plug installation which was nice.

Very easy to install especially if your current sink trim ring is in presentable condition. My trim ring was okay but its rubber skirt was a mess. Good news is that a new skirt is provided with the unit and it does not requite removal of the trim ring to install the new one. I wish it was a little quieter. My sink is composite (inherently quieter) so I expected a little better. A stainless sink will likely be a bit noisier yet. Just a comment. Doesnt invalidate the overall goodness of the unit.

Works well

Had to get a replacement and this one is exactly the same. I think the one that quit was more than 10 yrs old.

What I liked: It was in fact the direct model installed in my home therefore, I only replaced the body. What I disliked: Not sure it is really a dislike but it doesnt seem any quieter than the one replaced.

Ok reader my old badger 5 that was 10 years old , no complaints even old one leaked. Previous owner abused everything. Easy install, all you need Is plumbers putty and a flat head screwdriver if replacing an existing unit. Note: do not use the black drain pipe that comes with it, not good quality. Also , it says to knock out the dishwasher drain plug with a screwdriver and hammer, I suggest drilling it out with a large drill bit or drilling the edges of the hole first , before knocking it out.
