Easy peazy
Would RecommendI’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.

works Great!
Would RecommendThis unit came with the new house. We have had the Badger begore and will again.

The product is of high quality.
Would RecommendThe 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 RecommendI 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 RecommendWe 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.

Hi hrjr, thanks for leaving your comments. Unknowingly, something might have gotten inside the disposer, causing this. We have a troubleshooting guide...

Easy removal and easy install!
Would RecommendI 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 RecommendI 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.

Would RecommendWorks well. I wanted the Badger 5, but they were out of stock. No issues thus far, quiet when operating and was very easy to install (about 30 minutes).

Maybe this is a good product, but cannot get it in
Would Not RecommendHere'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
Would RecommendFairly easy to install. After 2 months it is working fine. A real evaluation can only be made after a few years. My old ISE lasted 22 years of low volume usage.

It is LOUD
Would Not RecommendJust 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.
