Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer

Customer Review: Dead in four years
Summary: 2 Stars

No complaints, it worked perfectly... but for only four years. Now the housing is cracked, and leaking. Time to find a new disposal. It won't be another Badger - four years is too short.

Customer Review: Defective Design
Summary: 1 Stars

Installed a new Badger 5 four years ago. Easy enough to install and it worked fine but it started leaking recently and I found a vertical crack at the back of the body. Called the service line and the warranty is 3 years and of course it went bad in 4. From reading other reviews the body cracking is obviously a common problem that they know about. I asked if they could do anything for me and all they offered was a small discount on the same model - I don't think so. I went with a sure thing and got the Waste King 3300 and it's 10 year in-home warranty after reading the reviews. It goes to show you shouldn't buy anything without doing your research first, not even a garbage disposer.

Customer Review: Disposal replacement
Summary: 4 Stars

I ordered this disposal to replace the 1/3 hp Badger disposal, that was installed in my rental Condo. The installation was easy and the unit works nicely. The 1/2 hp through Amazon was actually less than purchasing a 1/3hp model locally at Home Depot or Lowes.

Customer Review: Dispose of this garbage- what a waste!
Summary: 1 Stars

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.
