The In-Sink-Erator Badger 5-1/2 HP food waste disposer adds quality, performance, and reliability to the innovative product features found in waste disposal units. Powered by rugged induction motors and mounted to your sink with tough, stainless steel assemblies, In-Sink-Erator disposers are designed for years of trouble-free service. The included heavy-duty dura-drive motor is designed and manufactured to the same exacting specifications found in major appliances like washers and dryers. The increased horsepower allows the disposer to grind even tough bones quickly and efficiently, while the stainless steel construction in the grind system prevents corrosion from shortening the life of the disposer. Other features include insulated sound shells that shield grind chamber noise, and additional sound deadening with a secondary sound baffle. The disposer also features a quick-lock sink mount that makes installation fast and easy. Simply twist off the old disposer and twist on the new one. The device delivers a continuous feed, as well as 360-degree swivel impellers. This disposer also features a 1-year parts and in-home warranty.

Summary: Replace a Badger with a Badger
Comment: I was satisified with the Badger 5 by Insinkerator, so I ordered an exact replacement. The old one was still working whereas the motor was good but the case just wore out. Busted right thru the aluminum side wall. I don't know how long it was in service as it was in the house when I bought it 10 years ago. Total rust out of the steel case teeth exposed the aluminum to the direct blast of the ground up material. I put ice cubes into the unit occationally to clean things up and give it a little work out, until one day...The cubes came out the side of case.
Another thing I did which I do not recomend now was to put orange peels into the unit and grind them partially, leaving the remains in the unit beause it smelled nice and I felt it was sanitizing things. Don't do this. The acids left are probably what caused so much rust.
I don't think you can by a better brand and I am satisfied.

Summary: Badger Units Are CR*P
Comment: I have had THREE Badger units in the past 10 years. In my opinion they are junk. All of the above 4-5 star reviews are RECENT installs. All the lousy review are from users that had the units for a while. Do yourself a favor and get a different brand. You'll be sorry otherwise. Just my opinion.

Summary: 3 years and out
Comment: I've had this unit for about 3 years and it developed a leak in the bottom. Sure enough, reading reviews from here pointed me to a housing leak, just after the warranty expired. I'm single and don't need to use it much, but I think a garbage disposal should last more than 3 years. I'm gonna buy something different this time.

Summary: Dispose of this garbage- what a waste!
Comment: My brand new home came with a brand new Badger 5 disposal unit. Within 3 years, the housing cracked (a common problem with these units) and sprung a leak. This is something that cannot be repaired. When I called customer service, I was informed that this one is out of warranty, so too bad, so sad ... go buy a new one (great marketing huh?) ... so I will, but not one of theirs.
