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.

Great product. Installed and is working fantastically. The price was good.

Works great, easy installation. No issues so far, no leaks. It is quieter than the one I had.

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!

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

Nice unit with easy installation and very quiet operation.

I replaced a 15-year-old disposal that had finally given up the ghost, and after researching options at various price points I landed on the InSinkErator Badger 5. Several months of daily use later, I can say with complete confidence this was the right call — a no-nonsense, hardworking disposal that handles everything I throw at it without complaint. The 1/2 HP motor is more capable than you might expect for this class of disposal. Vegetable scraps, fruit peels, coffee grounds, small chicken bones, pasta, rice — it processes everything quickly and cleanly without jamming or straining. I cook from scratch daily and put this unit through genuine heavy use. It has never once jammed or required a reset in months of consistent operation. Installation was straightforward and well-documented. I'm a capable but not professional DIYer, and I had the Badger 5 mounted and running in under an hour using basic tools. InSinkErator's Quick Lock mounting system is genuinely clever — if you're replacing an existing InSinkErator unit the swap is even faster. The included instructions are clear and the hardware is all quality. The operation is notably quiet for a disposal in this price range. It's not silent, but it's a smooth, contained hum rather than the grinding mechanical roar of cheaper units. Running it during a dinner party conversation no longer requires pausing the discussion. Cleanup under the sink stays clean and dry. The seals are solid and I've had zero leaking issues since installation. InSinkErator has been the gold standard in garbage disposals for decades, and the Badger 5 perfectly represents why. It's dependable, durable, honestly priced, and does its job every single day without asking for any attention whatsoever. Sometimes that's exactly what you need from an appliance. A five star workhorse that earns it the honest way — by simply never letting you down.

Worked great. Easy to assemble.

Produto excelente, Insinkerator não decepciona nunca. Eu li as review antes de comprar e tinham reclamações a respeito de não ter fio, muitos produtos americanos que precisam de instalação vem assim, somente puxar um rabicho de energia. Melhor custo benefício se fizer uma limpeza mensal. Com gelo dura muitos anos.

Lleva mas de un año puesto y funciona muy bien buena calidad precio la instrucciones de instalación, armado y uso al 100%

Excelente! fácil de instalar!

Exchanged my old one with this new one (same brand and size). Installed it myself. Works nicely. Delivery was fast and cost was less than the stores.
