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

Customer Review: Ditto
Summary: 1 Stars

I have had the same problem everyone else has, cracked case and leaking. Now I have to find a new disposal as the dishes are stacking up. We can't run the dishwasher either as the wastewater goes past the disposal before it goes down the drain. I have never had a problem with an InSinkErator before and never heard of any problems but this model sucks and they've lost another customer.

Customer Review: Does what it's suppose to do

I had my original waste disposal go out on me and Amazon had this for a lot less than Home Depot. Installation isn't too bad with a little know how (used the power cord from original disposal for this one since it was not included)...that's if you have a disposal already installed. Make sure to unplug the dishwasher drain port. I did not know there is a existing plug built in and I ended up having back wash from the aerator when the dishwasher tried to drain into the disposal unit. Anyway it works fine...nothing fancy like the more expensive and quieter models. No problems as of yet!

We bought the Badger 5 Plus model about six years ago. It is the same as the model 5 except there is added sound insulation around the top of the unit. After about two and a half years it began leaking out the bottom of the unit- I started checking out if there was a way to repair it, but there wasn't. I then noticed this unit came with a three year in-home warranty, so I called and the company had a service technician come out and replace the unit at no charge. After another three years, this one is leaking out the bottom! Time for a new disposal, and guess what? There's no way I'd buy another one of these- in fact I'm not going to take a chance with any InSinkErator product at all.

Customer Review: Don't waste your money on this waste

Lasted a whopping 5 years under light usage. Leaks and rusts. I had a Kitchen Aid last 12 years before we wrecked it by putting something bad in it. I've read this is a common problem w/these units but no help from the company. I believe this is a manufacturing defect.
