Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Another bites the dust
Summary: 1 Stars
We moved here in 1994 and I, while remodeling the kitchen, decided to replace the 23 year old GE Disposall with an InSinkErator. That was the first one. In 1998 that one stopped grinding - ran but really only swirled the garbage - barely. New one - and that one ran until the innards rusted out in 2005. Replaced it with the slightly more expensive stainless version. Last night, 27 June '08, the motor started to overheat(smelled the hot insulation), made some loud growls and when shut off, instantly stopped. It still works but barely. My guess is that a motor bearing (sleeve?) is failing. Now I have to buy a new one - but what do I buy? We seldom grind anything more difficult then veggie peels, with an (very) occasional chicken bone. My history with these, at least the lower end versions is that they are junk. Oh yes, I also replaced a 2 year old unit at my daughters house. Did I say that these are IMO, junk???? (Interesting - just out of warranty they "die" - planned obsolescence maybe)Customer Review: Bad Badgers

Easy enough to install but didn't last long. Unit is about 3 or 4 years old and the motor has gone out and it must be replaced again. Probably all imported crap from China like everything else.Customer Review: Badge the Badger

I bought this food waste disposer to replace an identical one because I knew it would fit my plumbing. I wanted to avoid the hastle of altering the plumbing to fit another brand. The Badger I replaced threw a cutter (it came out of the opening while the disposer was running) and also rotted out on the side at the top half. I'm hoping this one does better. The material at the top does not appear to be metal like the first one.Customer Review: Badger 5

My previous one lasted about 7 years. Installed the newest one because i didn't feel like changing the plumbing under my sink. Easy to install and no problems as of yet. Has been installed for about a month. Works but not the best ever but also not the most expensive. Install and use correctly and don't abuse with excessive stuff jammed in it all at once and run with water to aid in moving debris through and it'll be fine.Customer Review: Badger 5 In-sink-erator
Summary: 4 Stars
Self-installed. Age 75. Required more under-sink space than previous item. A bit tricky installing into the clips on the sink drain. Accidently tore about one-inch of flesh off my right wrist when a screwdriver slipped. Injury is healing ok. Finished installation about 2-weeks ago. All is working great. New disposal is much quieter.
