InSinkErator Badger 5XP Garbage Disposal, Standard Series 3/4 HP Continuous Feed Food Waste Disposer, Black / Stainless

Awesome. My old one, finally gave up the ghost. It fit the hole because we had one. It's great value for what it does. And surprisingly quiet for an insinkerator. Our old ones sounded like a jet engine Landing, this one is less noisy. It went in easy and so far has given me very few if none problems. I wish I could buy another one just because it's so awesome

Works well and easy to install.

Replaced my quarter horsepower garbage disposal this thing really takes the garbage down and works great no plugging and it's nice and quiet too

Powerful and easy to install! Only thing is I wish these things come with an attached chord!

I was replacing a non-insinkerator 1/3 hp unit with this one, so I had to do every step as the sink flange was completely different. I ran into the following issues and offer the following advice to others: 1) The insinkerator snap ring can be really hard to get on when working alone with only a weight on the sink side to hold it down. I finally got it on by using thick painters tape to hold the fiber gasket and bottom mount while I fiddled with the snap ring. I still had to get out the snap ring pliers to do it alone, but if someone was there to hold it from top, I could have been more aggressive and might have been able to do it by hand. If you get aggressive with only a weight on top, you start messing up your plumbers putty job... 2) One of the steps on wiring says to put a cable clamp on (not included).. REALLY? this information should have been in the REQUIRED TOOLS listing. No one has a bag of metal cable clamps (strain relief) just laying around... I opted to use a rubber grommet instead that I happened to just have so at least the wires arent rubbing against sheet metal. Pretty sure that clamp only would have cost 10 cents to include for free... this should have been included, as should have a couple of wire nuts (which i already had) 3) I fiddled for more than hour trying to get this heavy thing twisted on... in the end, I had it on there right a few times but just wasn't confident it was on there correct. This is because it feels really loose when twisted on and you then need to reach above and twist the metal flange attachment more. I recommend watching the insinkerator video as the instructions aren't super clear on this... Anyhow.. I'm happy with the end result, just not super happy with the installation process. It could be improved.

Powerful, and so quiet compared to the unit it replaced that I wondered at first if it was running at all. Easy to install, if you know what you are doing. Otherwise, ask for help from someone who does. One important suggestion, though - skip the plumber's putty and spend $6 for a dedicated silicone ring gasket for the sink mount. Putty can dry up and crumble on an install at a sink that is used infrequently, causing a leak that can rust the unit to the point of failure (ask me how I know).

3/4 hp ISE for the price of 1/2 hp. Great price fast delivery

I purchased a Badger 5xp-8 in June of 2023, and I installed it sometime in July or August. I was replacing an older model that had been operating since the previous owners of the house installed it in the early 00s, so it just made good sense to buy another InSinkErator. With nary a hiccup the disposal had performed its tasks without issue, mostly food scraps from eating and the like. Unfortunately, as a week ago, I noticed some intermittent squeaking. Initially, I wrote it off, as I recovered a small piece of fat that had inadvertently found its way in. This week though, I am being met with a hum when I flip the switch. I tried in vain to root around looking for something missed. I cranked the Allen wrench every which way, full revolutions, back and forth, et cetera, all to no avail. It might kick on, it might not. I cannot say I am an expert on the design, but from my expertise in maintenance, I would venture a bearing, or sleeve gave out and is causing the seizing. Either way, disappointing, but things happen. That said, I did reach out to InSinkErator, via their website and they were extremely receptive about rectifying the issue. I relayed the basic idea of what was happening, and they followed up to verify with an extra step or two. With that done, they acknowledged the device was within the warranty, verified my address, and are shipping a brand-new replacement to me, complete with a refreshed warranty. I would be lying to say I was taking everything in stride initially, but danged if this has not been some of the best customer service experience I have had in a long time. I am looking forward to yanking it out to decipher what went amiss, just to satiate my curiosity.
