Badger 5 Garbage Disposal, Standard Series 1/2 HP Continuous Feed Food Waste Disposer, Black, Set of 1

Verified Purchase The InSinkErator Badger 5 is the benchmark for reliable, no-nonsense garbage disposals. If you need a powerful, consistent, and durable unit without any unnecessary bells and whistles, this 1/2 HP continuous feed model is the perfect choice. It truly lives up to the InSinkErator reputation for quality. Installation was a breeze, thanks to the quick lock mount. I was able to swap out my old disposal and have this one running in under 30 minutes. Once installed, its operation is surprisingly quiet for a 1/2 HP motor. It handles common food scraps—vegetable peels, plate residue, and small bones—with ease, preventing frustrating clogs and keeping my kitchen sink running smoothly. The Continuous Feed feature is a major time-saver, allowing me to add waste while the unit is running, which increases efficiency during meal prep and cleanup. While it might be categorized as the "Standard Series," the performance is anything but standard. It’s tough, dependable, and offers exceptional value for the price. This disposal is a fundamental appliance that you install and promptly forget about because it simply works, day after day.

My husband installed this yesterday. Works great!! It is a good quality garbage disposal. Fairly easy to install. It is a heavy weight. Sound level is average. I would recommend this.

Installation was a fine but companies REALLY have to get rid of the multilanguage instructions!!! Separate languages in separate sections would be fine but lumping all the different languages together makes it hard to follow the flow of instructions for installation. Price was good.

This was very easy to install. Took all of 30 minutes (following the instructions), even with the removal of the old unit and replacing the drain cap. It functions very adequately, quiet and fast. I was expecting this to take hours to mount, but with one minor twist, lock/tighten and done. It was longer just removing the old unit.

Easy to install and runs smoothly. Powerful motor and not too loud. Good quality and value for the price.

I installed it myself with help from YouTube advisors. I got good suggestions and slowly but surely replaced the old Badger 5 with the new one! it did not come with an attached power cable but I used the old cable.

Great direct replacement. Worked right away. No fuss.

Did a kitchen refresh after 20 some years. This included a new countertop. Well, if you get a new countertop, you get a new sink. A new sink, a new garbage disposal. The original disposal was still working but very noisy and shook everything on the counter. It went with the old countertop, so I did not have to remove it. That made the job more tolerable. Who likes crawling under a kitchen sink at 70? In-Sink-Erators always seemed to be a good brand and the price seemed decent enough. 1/2H replacing a 1/2H. Package came with all of the parts necessary to install the garbage disposal. However, keep in mind that if you are attaching a dishwasher to it, you may need to get an additional adapter to attach the drain line to the garbage disposal. You may also need to get the proper wire connector to attach the electric line to it. Check these two things out before you get started and it will save you some frustration. Installation is straight forward. Just read the instructions and follow them. I did just what the instruction said to do and how. There were no leaks, runs or errors. I would suggest taking some thought to how it is to hook up to the drain line. Make sure you have it turned to a position that will line up with how you want to attach the drain line. You will need to attach connector part to the sink so as to allow you to attach the GD to it in a way (position) that will line it up properly once the GD is turned into place. The somewhat difficult part for me was getting the electric line attached. Just awkward working under the sink in a tight spot. Once attached and the plumbing done, it was now time to try it out. Wow, what a difference. Smooth and just a hum. No rumbling and shaking. Works as expected. I had to get my wife to come in and listen to it. No longer will she have to catch things vibrating off the countertop. Score one for me!
