Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Badger 1, 1/3 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Cracked and Useless
Summary: 1 Stars
Had a new house built in 06 and the builder installed the unit. Only stayed in the new house for a couple of months in 06 and a couple of months in 07 and finally moved in full time July of 08. Never had a disposal before so we really didn't use it to the full extent and only have two people living in the house. In Dec of 08 I noticed a leak under the sink and upon investigation found that the plastic housing where the waste pipe connects had about a 1/4" crack. The unit hasn't been in use for even a year even though I'm sure I'll get "its out of warranty" proclamation. The motor still works but the unit is pretty much worthless since it leaks like a seive I'd stay away from this unit.Customer Review: Did the job

Purchased this item as it was the same one previously installed in our sink. It had lasted 5 years before breaking, which is good, I think?...
However; when the item was received, it did not come with a cord, which seems it should be standard...Guess it's my fault for not reading the 'fine print'. Anyhow, it took my husband twice as long and twice as much effort as he had to remove the cord from the broken one, and install it in the new one, (which isn't as easy as it sounds).
Customer Review: Died after 17 months

Bought this disposal to replace an old badger 1 that I'd used for over 10 years. It came with the house so it could be much older. This one lasted less than a year and a half. I hope I just got a bad one but after looking at the other reviews I doubt it. I'm thinking their quality has gone downhill over the years at least with the badger line. Just bought an evolution excel model hoping that they are better quality.Customer Review: Died after two years

This unit was installed in the condo my boyfriend bought, and worked OK for the first little while, but after about 2 years of light use it stopped working (totally dead; tried all the suggested fixes, many times, no luck reviving it), and about the same time we noticed a growing crack in the black plastic body of the disposal, where a small leak had developed (thankfully that seemed to happen about when we stopped using it, so we didn't have any issues with the floor of the cabinet rotting or having mold develop like others have).Customer Review: Excellent value
Summary: 5 Stars
The Badger 1 at 1/3 HP is a fine value compared to the 1/4 HP disposals offered at or near the same price. It took me 10 minutes to install the disposal, even under a new sink/counter where there hadn't already been one.
* If you are buying this disposal, you will need to purchase a plug for it, or be prepared to hard wire it.
