Summary: Dispose of this garbage- what a waste! 2008-11-13
Comment: My brand new home came with a brand new Badger 5 disposal unit. Within 3 years, the housing cracked (a common problem with these units) and sprung a leak. This is something that cannot be repaired. When I called customer service, I was informed that this one is out of warranty, so too bad, so sad ... go buy a new one (great marketing huh?) ... so I will, but not one of theirs.

Summary: Heavy duty. 2008-07-27
Comment: Badger 5 replaced two other brand disposals which were underpowered and didn't last long. The Badger 5 has lasted years, never clogs, and runs really cool. Whereas the previous ones overheated under a large load.
Insinkerator makes an add-on optional 3 way flexible output tube which connects over to the trap, which solves most installation problems, fits most of their models including this one, see it online for about $5 various places.
Satisfied!

Summary: Another bites the dust 2008-06-28
Comment: We moved here in 1994 and I, while remodeling the kitchen, decided to replace the 23 year old GE Disposall with an InSinkErator. That was the first one. In 1998 that one stopped grinding - ran but really only swirled the garbage - barely. New one - and that one ran until the innards rusted out in 2005. Replaced it with the slightly more expensive stainless version. Last night, 27 June '08, the motor started to overheat(smelled the hot insulation), made some loud growls and when shut off, instantly stopped. It still works but barely. My guess is that a motor bearing (sleeve?) is failing. Now I have to buy a new one - but what do I buy? We seldom grind anything more difficult then veggie peels, with an (very) occasional chicken bone. My history with these, at least the lower end versions is that they are junk. Oh yes, I also replaced a 2 year old unit at my daughters house. Did I say that these are IMO, junk???? (Interesting - just out of warranty they "die" - planned obsolescence maybe)

Summary: Garbage Disposal 2008-06-22
Comment: Not as powerful as I expected. I had a 3/4 HP unit before and it was too powerful and noisy. This one is Quieter but not NEAR as powerful. I feel tha I don't even have a 1/3 HP unit. Won't even grind up chicken bones.

Summary: Very poor for grinding food. 2008-06-02
Comment: Installation is straight forward and the quality of the materials is very good. The problem is their idea of impellers or blades. There are just 2 moving parts that grind things up and they more or less bash the food into smaller pieces. If you put anything small such as the ends of a carrot or an apple core, the initial bashing works, but very shortly the remains of the food spin to the outer edged beyond the reach of the impellers and it just stays there. Turning the unit on and off and on and off 5-6 times will eventually work but this is not even close to the quality of grinding I saw on much older models. They could have solved this problem with the simple addition of another impeller (cost about 78 cents) but as it is you will be cleaning out bits of food a lot.
UPDATE: They seem to have cut the warranty in half since mine was purchased just a few months ago. Not a good sign.
