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

Customer Review: Easy Installation
Summary: 5 Stars

I replaced an 8 year old Badger 3 model that was leaking with this new Badger 5. Because they are the same make and attach to the sink and pipes the same way, I simply popped out the old unit and popped in the new one. I left in place the stainless steel drain/bracket from the old one. I did have to do two other things: 1) transfer the cord from the old to the new unit and 2) trim two inches from the new plastic elbow to make it match my paticular sink geometry. The new disposer works great.

Customer Review: Easy install
Summary: 5 Stars

I was replacing a very old unit that was the same model. I can't speak to the longevity of this replacement, but the install was very simple. I did have to make a quick trip to Home Depot though because the drain connection on this one was a little different than the old one. Plastic piping is so simple that this wasn't a problem. (I had no experience doing anything like this before if that helps give you a little confidence that you can do this too.)

Customer Review: Easy install, Gets the job done
Summary: 4 Stars

This was very easy to install as an exact replacement. It required almost no tools and took very little time. The original unit was from 1995 and it eventually developed a crack, as they will eventually do. I will be happy if this lasts half that time, and I hope I can still get another exact replacement.

The Amazon transaction was an excellent deal and the unit arrived promptly.

Customer Review: Eats all of my garbage
Summary: 5 Stars

This was an exact replacement for the original that lasted more than 10 years. It only broke because too many spoons fell into the disposer over the years. It probably would have lasted twice as long.
