Ratings & Reviews for InSinkErator Badger 5XP Continuous feed 3/4-HP Septic Safe Non-corded Garbage Disposal

last one lasted 14 years.

Got 14 years out of the last one. Hope to sell this house before I need another. Well worth the money and time to install.

The disposal works great.

We replaced a ten year old 1/3 hp model. Because of the tab that prevents the mounting collar from rotating, we had to be resourceful about lining up the unit with the drain. But we solved that problem successfully.

Product work's as expected

This was a replacement for one that was operable for the last 20 years.

Easy install especially if

Easy install especially if you are replacing it with an identical model. It almost fell into place. I also fell on my head when my hand cramped, but that a story for another time!

This is a great unit

This unit was easy to install as it easily "bolted" into the position of the old unit. It's very quiet and does a perfect jog of getting rid of the food waste.

So quiet & powerful

First time I hit the switch? it was so quiet we thought it wasn't working! Takes care of food scraps without effort. Would buy again.

prefect fit

This disposal fix perfectly into my current sink configuration without any issues. Seems to be working fine only time will tell. I am replacing an old insinkerator displosal that we had for over 8 years.

still working

my old insinkerator i bought back in 2018, i bouight this as a back up, but old one still running strong

EASY REPLACEMENT with PLUG

I am not an experienced household repair kind of person, but with the snap lock mechanism it was easy to replace/install. YAY! Watch the video provided and instructions in advance. Also, it was VERY IMPORTANT that this unit had the factory installed plug, I would not have wanted to do anything electrical.

Does the job

I purchased this item to replace the same item that had been installed for over a decade. I hope to get similar results with this one. It seems a little noisier than the old one and maybe not as smooth. Time will tell. A month in and it is working as it should. Happy wife, happy life.

replaced previous disposal

My old disposal only three years old decided to quit on me...water everywhere under sink...My plumber replaced it with this particular model..the price was very high but then what isn't today,,. so far its working well...lets hope it lasts longer than the previous one

Worthy Product

I have been using these badgers for many years. This time I upgraded to a 3/4 HP and what a difference. I recommend using the badger to all.

Replacement unit fit perfectly onto previous clamp. Everything went as indicated with only problem being working by feel on backside clamp and screw.

Replacement unit fit perfectly onto previous clamp/holder. Installation went as shown on you tube demonstrations. Only problem was in tightening clamp for the dishwasher drain as it was on back side and had to be connected by feel.

The disposal is quiet and works great

The disposal works as advertised. It is a product that is very well built and of high quality. The only reason I gave the installation a four instead of a five is because I didn’t have help with installation and it was a little difficult holding the product up long enough to get into the mounting bracket. I finally placed a small stool under it and it made it much easier to install.

Replacing a similar Badger installed 15 years ago.

I don’t know how plumbers do it! Getting the old badger out was fairly simple. Getting the new one in was a bear but I did it! You tube video’s idea of supporting the new unit with a box to make it easier to position worked well. Tough to manipulate in a tight cabinet but was able to finally get it mounted. Works great!

Great Value and upgrade over builders standard disposal.

Very pleased with this unit. When ours stopped working I decided to go with the industry standard for disposals but bumped up to a higher HP rating ant glad I did. Unit installed easily, has plenty of power, never seems to bob down and is noticeably quitter than out old disposal that came on a spec house.

Wow Loud

We chose a 3/4 hp InSinkErator Badger because we have a septic tank and wanted to be sure everything was well ground before entering it. I've had this brand before and loved it, but this one is EXTREMELY loud and the whole sink and anything in it at the time vibrates so badly I'm concerned something will break. If it weren't for the expense of having it removed and replaced, I would send it back.

Great disposal

I bought the 3/4 hp model and have had great results. I installed it myself. It installed it too loosely at first but it was readily straightened out. I am not that handy but when the directions are followed properly it goes in very smoothly. The lift and latch system makes it easy Tom get into place, even at 75 yrs old.

POWERFUL!

This new garbage disposal is the more powerful one of the Badger brand. And it really is more powerful! Highly recommend!

Sorry Nerak did not appreciate the fact that on the. 3/4 hp unit a 3 year warranty

I have replace old disposers with the Badger using both 1/2 and 3/4 depending on who is renting the homes, larger families use the unit more. I’ve forunf them to be VERY DEPENDABLE and without problem during the 23 years plus. It’s nice to know you can still depend on a quality product. I would highly recommend these peobucts
