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

Easy installation !

I was replacing an existing unit & was looking for a unit that would match up with the existing plumbing & electrical layout. Everything matched up fine no issues

Love the push button for on and off

I moved into a new build house so the contractor installed it. It is very easy to use and effective. The push button feature for turning on and off is very nice and low profile. It is also convenient because the sink is in an island so different wall switch would not be effective.

Excelent Product

I had installed for almost two months so far and I'm wondering why I did not install before! No more issues with bugs on the trash can, no more flies around my window during the summer.

Should not have had to replace

Single person - no one else using appliances. Had to unexpectedly replace this unit which had nominal use…felt it should have lasted longer. Have been very careful using this appliance, kept it clean. Did replace with same model instigator because I of price - including plumbers expense. Will see how long this one lasts. :-

So far So good

We got this item as highly recommended by our plumber, and we have been very happy with it so far.

Power, performance, reliability

Quiet, powerful, reliable, describe the 3/4 HP Badger 5xp. This is a replacement for a 1/2 HP unit and the new Badger continues to bring peach of mind for kitchen food disposal.

Much better than earlier versions.

It's quiet, fast, efficient, and was easy to install.

well made

We have had a Badger in the past. They work very well.

Great replacement

When our old unit quit, I bought this one. Installation took only about 15 minutes. This new one works well, and I like that there is a wrench to use should it ever become blocked.

Great Garbage disposal

Easy to install and works great, all at a reasonable price

Garbage Disposal

Great other than you need but a separate power cord.

BADGER 5XP

This replaced and existing Badger disposal that was well beyond 17 years old. The old started to leak and was freezing up so time to replacel Had a plumber do the job and it only took him 15 minutes to pull out the old and replace the new. Works great, no leaks so here is hoping for another 17 plus years.

Replaced a previous Badger which lasted 14 years.

We made sure that we purchased the same item. It will be interesting to see how long the new model lasts.

Great disposal

This disposal was easy to install. We've had it a couple months and it works great.

Happy with purchase

We are very happy with our purchase of this product.

Replaced old disposal

Relatively easy to replace with the same brand. Works well.

THE NEW PRODUCT IS MORE QUIET THAN MY OLD ONE

My new garbage disposal is quieter than my old one and I like the way the rubber stoppers are arranged to stop any objects from falling in.

Good product, similar to the one I replaced.

I would have purchased a Power 900 model but that model is larger in diameter and the sink shut off valve is right behind it and I was afraid it would be too close so I bought the 5XP which is the same diameter as the one I replaced so I knew it would be fine. A little tricky to install but only because the power wire (hard wired) has no slack so a little hard to lift unit up and twist.

Of course we selected another Insinkerator!

After seven years of flawless service we needed to replace the home`s original disposal when a tiny leak manifested at the base of the unit. A worn shaft seal was suspected to be the leak's cause. The replacement unit was another Insinkerator disposal of equivalent wattage. Removal of the old unit took about three minutes to turn the locking ring; another 10 minutes to disconnect/reconnect the a/c plug. Replacing the sink locking attachment required a second trip to the hardware store for a fres...

Replaced a Badger with a new one

My old garbage disposal started leaking and my plumber said I would need to replace it. I believe my previous Badger garbage disposer was 16 years old. I decided to replace it with the Badger 5xp because of the good reviews and because it was similar to what I had. There were no problems with the installation. Only con is it is a little noisy, but I don't mind that because I want to always know when it is engaged.
