“you might get a cord...the flange parts supplied probably won't work with your existing plumbing...as the pipe sent is close 90 degree elbow...I needed a straight pipe...does the manufacturer care...I doubt it...so you might be tossing and hitting the hardware store...”
“So to me single mother of 4 - A garbage disposal is a garbage disposal - Just needs to work!. With that being said - I purchased, I watched some YOU Tube Videos and began install. The only difficult part was holding the disposal with one hand in place while trying to secure it at the top while using a screw driver to rotate. SO Newbies it can be done - its just about a 15 -20 min pain in the butt. For those that refuse to ask for help like my self - I suggest you get a buddy to do it for you ! Will save you 15 - 20 minutes of bad words !! #shoutout2plumbers”
“The first disposal ordered through plumbingsupplyandmore. leaked from the bottom, which I could only discover after I had installed it. I bypassed plumbingsupplyandmore. and called Insinkerator customer support directly. They were very helpful. They sent me a new disposal and did not require that I return the defective unit. The new unit works great. Would have been better to have received a quality product the first time, but I commend Insinkerator for their customer support.”
“This is a disposal that most builders use in low to medium quality homes. When I was a remodeler I too used the same model. I have always found them to last a lengthy period of time past the stated warranty. I have used more powerful models but never found them to perform any better other than the operating noise which doesn't matter much because it is only intermittent operation. The Badger 5 noise is completely acceptable. The longest one has lasted was about ten years. Just a note when they do go out, I've had 2, two, leak profusely from the bottom of the unit. My advice would be to replace every 7 years or less, lest you want possible water damage on the cabinet bottom and possibly through to basement. I would still recommend this unit. I hear about fake reviews these days and I assure you this is not one.”
“A little disappointed because it was expecting it to be able to be plugged in or hard wired but it was really only set to he plugged in. My husband had to take the wiring out and then re hardwire the mount. Other than that we are happy with this. Quiet and small but good work horse :)”
“The majority of negative comments written before my review are accurate in my experience. This was my fourth unit replacement in the last twelve years or so. On average, the two prior to this most recent purchase lasted three years. HOWEVER, if you’re just swapping out units it’s a relatively easy 20-30 minute job. My point is, buy it at a good price if you can. Know it’s going to be relatively easy to swap out. But accept that in all likelihood it’s probably going to fail in 2-3 years. Personally, if I thought that spending more would render a different outcome, I’d spring for the extra money. However, few things are built to last any more. Sad turn of events. Buy quality American-made goods wherever you can find them. Know that you may pay a few dollars more. But it employs American workers, which strengthens our country and the money stay home folks. Win win in my book.”
“I purchased this item to replace an identical one that had developed an internal leak. The old one lasted 14 years. I hope the new one lasts a little longer. I decided to buy another one mostly due to the ease of installation, price and availability. We don't use it very much.”
