Ratings & Reviews for InSinkErator Badger 3/4-Hp Garbage Disposal

Noisy!

sounds like a bucket of bolts - i hate it, wish i kept my old one

Quality Garbage Disposal

Bought this to replace a 20 year old Badger. Installation was super simple and it works great. Would buy Badger again.

So far, so good

I bought this about a month ago. I'm very pleased with the product.

Excellent

Good product, easy installation. Not as noisy as my old one.

Good but….

Installed about a month ago as part of a renovation. Works well but loud metal on metal scraping sound at the end of the cycle, like something is loose. Doing it’s job so not replacing it.

Badger 5XP 3/4 HP

Purchased a couple of months ago. This thing will chew spoons! Nice looking sink mount with Insinkerator name on it. I had it put in in 1 hour. The hardest part was holding it up to mount it into the screw mount. Great disposal!

Quiet

It's pretty quiet. I almost bought the more expensive one because on the box it stated that it's the quietest one on the market. I'll happy I chose this one. Easy install and affordable. I don't put a lot of down there but when I do it does a great job

Great upgrade.

Replaced and old noisy Whirl a way with the 5xp. Simple to install and very quiet.

Insink Review

Easy to install. Louder than 1/3 hp machine. Grinds more stuff than 1/3 hp machine.

3/4 hp sinkerator unit

Ordinary machine, nothing special , bit overpriced

This is a dependable product

Had out plumbing service install a new 3/4 hp InSinkErator; it replaced a 1/2 hp unit installed 15 years prior. The brand is dependable and durable. We felt the added muscle with the higher hp would be beneficial.

Badger 5XP InSinkErator does its job

We replaced our 5 hp InSinkErator when we replaced our two-level kitchen island with one level. The new InSinkErator does its job at a reasonable price.

Operations

The garbage disposal operates very well except it get a little noisy when things such as bananas are dropped in the disposal.

Ease of Installation

My home, now 10 years old, came with a InSinkErator. It got gummed up. Time to replace and what a breeze. I up graded to the 3/4 HP. Pushed it up into the ring, turned the ring clamp to secure It. Used the existing plumbing. Plugged it in and it works beautifully.

Easy peasy

Great product! Third time replacing a disposal…this was by far the easiest to install. Very happy with choice.

Great product

The last in-sinkerator lasted 28 years, so when it was time to replace it, why would I not buy another one.

Works exactly as I expected it to work

It works exactly like I expected it to work. Plumber installed in a very short period of time.!

Blades grind after being turned off.

I don't put things down the disposal, I only use it if food particles get in the sink. I turn it on only for a brief second or two, but when I turn it off, the blades keep grinding or clicking as if they're hitting each other. It started a month or so after installation by a professional.

It works as well or better than old model

I had the 20 year old 3/4HP model replaced with this 3/4HP Badger 5XP. It is considerably quieter than the old model. I didn't personally install it so I can't truly speak to ease of install but there were no comments from the contractor. I'll give it 5 stars in that category considering the quick install available for any future model if needed. Other than that, the performance is as expected from this brand.

Very high quality food disposal.

This is a very good garbage disposal. I bought the 3/4 horsepower model and it handles all waste with ease. It was also very easy to install. Just lift it in place into twist it into the mounting bracket and just plug it in.
