Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Badger 5, Another One Bites the Dust
Summary: 2 Stars
We have just moved into a 6 year old house and the Badger 5 garbage disposal has a nuisance leak. The leak is most evident when emptying a basin of water, which then fills the disposal. Of course, the house inspection didn't pick this up and it is out of warranty! There is a vertical crack the full length of the housing between the conical transition and the motor canopy. Reading other reviews, this is more than wear and tear and should be considered a design flaw. This disposal is also relatively noisy. We would not purchase this disposal again. However, we did replace it with another Badger product, an Evolution Series Space Saver. It is a completely different construction and design and comes with a four (4) year warranty. It is as quiet as a church mouse and was easy to install on the existing spin-on mounting. Although the cost is about double it will be well worth it!!Customer Review: Badger Units Are CR*P
Summary: 1 Stars
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.Customer Review: Badger5

I was very happy thinking I would replace my current disposal with one that appeared to be the same model and design. The model was correct and most everything was interchangeable except for the output tubing. The included l-shaped drainage tube was different from the older model and, therefore, did not interchange correctly. I had to take a trip to Home Depot to purchase a different connector tube and fittings. My only wish is that if the company changes the design, the included adapter reproduce the original size, length and angle fittings. It is in and working fine except that I spent a little more that I thought would be necessary. Retirement is not always what its cracked up to be when it comes to money.Customer Review: Badgers suck.
Summary: 1 Stars
I own a property management business in Oregon and we have a number of properties that require appliances all at once. We frequently purchase several of these to put into our custom homes. My recent experience with the Insinkerator disposal by Badger was very frustrating.
Our tenant was experiencing a dripping under the sink several times, and calling our maintenance person, we found there was a very slight crack along the base of the disposal itself, lenghwise. Clearly a problem with a brand new installed disposal.
I was directed to Brandon in Manila, Phillipines. I found that providing the serial number they begin the warranty from the date the item was manufactured.
I was put on hold for 20 minutes and had to call the tenant twice to get information confirming the Badger product.
Their fix was for me to take it to a warranty center to have it repaired. I found their non compliance to be very frustrating even if the employee was pleasant. They have obviously found a way to avoid making their warranty anything more valuable than the letters on the box.
Customer Review: Best Money Can Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
After 20 years of hard use, replaced the old In-Sink-Erator disposer that still worked exceptionally well. This new one is even better. Installation was simple. Bones and vegetable waste disappear within seconds. For residential kitchen uses, there are no better disposers.
