“I just received this item, which makes me reluctant to rate it so soon. I must say that it was very easy to install, although I must say that I was replacing a virtually identical model. I had one issue, self-made, as I didn't read the instructions carefully enough. ;-) As a garbage disposal, it works, it's relatively quiet, and I don't ask much more than that, especially since I felt the price was right.”
“Everything works and came as described. Installing was easy. Only issue is the plastic drain plug that came with it came with a large crack rendering it useless.”
“This is an exact replacement for an existing garbage disposal that started leaking underneath.I did not install the original and have lived in my house for 6 years, so the longevity of these is not certain.The house is 18 years old, and I am not sure if the leaking unit is the original garbage disposal.Therefore, just be aware that these are prone to leaking, especially if you have hardwood floors and mold sensitivity.”
“I bought this to replace my existing Badger 5. this is the 1/2 HP entry level unit in the product line, and the last one lasted over 5 years for me. about $20 cheaper (including shipping) than the local big box store had them.Good unit for the price point, and suitable for home use if you don't overload it.”
“After just a few minutes use, disposal started to make a lot of noise. No impediments, installed securely, Can only guess it is the blades knocking againt the bottom. Not satisfied with purchase of this Badger 5 model.”
“This unit replaces the 50XP one which leaked over the weekend. Struggled a bit during installation due to the locking ring not aligned with the upper metal one. Had to tape it down flat so I can rotate the ring to the locking position.Had to use a mall hydraulic jack to raise the unit up.”
