What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these disposals for reliability, quiet operation, and straightforward installation. Many report replacing units after 15 to 17 years of service and choosing the same model again due to proven performance. Reviewers consistently highlight easy installation with clear instructions and compatibility with existing fittings. The quiet performance stands out, with customers describing units as significantly quieter than older models. A small number report rusting or leaking after several years, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by widespread satisfaction and long-term loyalty.

If this one lasts as long as it’s predecessor (9 years), I’ll be VERY pleased!

Easy peazy

Would Recommend

I’m 75 yrs young and installed (replaced) this disposal vey quickly. It was extremely easy with the quick connect system. You don’t have to be a master plumber or electrician. If you use this a lot, I would increase the horse power with the larger one. All in all, it’s good disposal. Note: if your dishwasher drains through the disposer, make sure the hose connections are tight.

The product is of high quality.

Would Recommend

The installation went smoothly and the operation of the disposal is strong and solid! I originally purchased this model because the cutting device is made of stainless steel. When it comes to disposals, you “must” go with stainless steel. This particular make and model disposal fits the bill.

Worth the investment.

Would Recommend

I bought this unit to replace the same unit that I had for 14 years. Considering it has a one year warranty, I think the first one convinced me to get a new one of the same type.

Perfect for low use due to septic tank

Would Recommend

We purchased the Badger 1 to replace the 23-year-old model that finally broke. We have a septic system, so utilizing a garbage disposal is for very small food orts. We hope the new one lasts as long as the first one.

Easy removal and easy install!

Would Recommend

I was replacing an old Badger garbage disposal (20 + yrs). It was an easy process to remove the old one and install the new one. A quick and easy DIY job.

Very cheaply made and sounds tinny

Would Not Recommend

I replaced the insinkerator I had with this new one. The one I had was well built and sounded strong when it ran. The new one I purchased was not well built. It was light and did not have the power of the old one. The lock ring on top would not lock into the sink so I took the ring off the old one to make it work.

Maybe this is a good product, but cannot get it in

Would Not Recommend

Here's my story about the Lowe's and Angi collaboration for installation: Angi gaslighted me for over a week. I had a simple job of a garbage disposal installation. I bought the disposal and added on installation from Lowe's. Lowe's then forwarded my installation request to Angie. An appointment was quickly made, Unbeknownst to me it was a pyrrhic appointment. This "appointment" by "Hector" kept on being rescheduled. After the 5th reschedule I attempted to contacted the assigned contractor. The ...

So far so good

It is LOUD

Would Not Recommend

Just bought this brand new home, with an entire open area for Living/Dining and Kitchen. The grinding noise - even if empty- of this Insinkerator food waste disposal is so loud! Sounds like metal grinding glass. It’s brand new, installed by the builder. It does grind the food- so it works.
