Lasted 10 Years
Would RecommendThe Badger 1 came installed in my house when purchased new 10 years ago. It just started leaking today. I’m replacing with the Badger 5- 1/2 HP. Very easy to remove and replace. 15 minute job by myself. I didn’t even need to consult YouTube University on this one.

Badger 1 Disposal easy to install
I replaced an Insinkerator Badger 1 with the same model disposal. Everything went as expected except removing the power cord to attach the power line directly was extremely difficult. Otherwise, it would have been 5 stars.

SERVED ME FINE BEFORE, SO I PURCHASED IT AGAIN
Would RecommendReplaced a disposal of the same make and model that I installed over twelve years ago. Aside from the contortions needed to get to it, the installation was straight forward. Be sure to buy the putty-less seal. Reading the box, I noticed a seal was included, however during installation I realized that the included seal is to replace a fiber seal located UNDER the sink.

Doesnt last long
Would Not RecommendGot this installed with new home 20 months ago and its leaking already. Online it shows it has 2 year warranty but looks like only for units manufactured after April 2025. Bad product, wouldn't recommend.

Not worth having
Would Not RecommendI've had this in my brand new home for 2 years. It has jammed a 3 times and I have had to unlock it. I barely use it. Its locked now and there is nothing in there. I unlock it, turn it on, and sounds like a bunch of metal is in there. But there is nothing there. I've show a flashlight down to see if im missing something and there is nothing there. This disposal should not go out in 2 years with barely any use. I am disappointed. Badger 1-92A

Do not buy
Would Not RecommendPiece of garbage, motor burnt out in 2 years. No crazy uses, nothing that shouldn’t be there, terrible. Why even off 1/3 hp, that’s a cop out.
