Evolution Series® Disposers
If you prefer a higher level of grind performance, and significantly quieter operation, check out the Evolution Series® Disposers.Evolution Series® disposers feature innovative technologies--MultiGrind® and SoundSeal®--that address users' two most common requests: improved grinding ability and reduced noise.
Easy to Install!
The InSinkErator® Badger® 5 is designed with space efficiency and easy installation in mind.Odds are that your old disposer has a Quick Lock® sink mount. This makesreplacement as simple as removing the old disposer with a twist and installingthe new one.
Environmentally Friendly, Wallet-Friendly Choice
The InSinkErator® Badger® food waste disposer is a practical and environmentally responsible wayto help reduce the 31 million tons of solid waste generated from food scraps in the U.S. each year.Instead of throwing this food waste away, grinding it with the InSinkErator® Badger® sends it to your local municipal wastewater treatment plant, where it can be recycled to produce methane, a renewable source of power for the plant. Additionally, wastewater treatment plants can process food waste into biosolids to be used as fertilizer (check the plant in your area). Food waste disposers average less than 50 cents a year in electricity to operate and account for less than one percent of a household's total water consumption. In fact, the InSinkErator® Badger® features an average water usage of one gallon per person per day and an average electrical usage of three to four kilowatt hours per year, making it among the least expensive installed kitchen appliances.
We Come To You® Parts and Labor Warranty
The Badger® 5 is backed by an exclusive two-year We Come to You® In-Home Service Warranty.This warranty from InSinkErator® includes free house calls (including parts and labor) for the entirewarranty period.

 installed it ourselves and works well March 9, 2010

i received it on time and in very good condition. my husband was able to install it himself. it probably took a little longer than estimated but still he was able to install it and it works perfectly.
 A review after about 8 years of use March 7, 2010
Sabad One
When we moved into our new house the food waste disposer was dead, so I had to purchase a new one. I can't even recall why I chose this one, but I did. This was, I think, in 2002.
I have never done any plumbing work in my life and I am not particularly good at home repairs/maintenance, but I could install this unit without too much trouble, although it probably took me at least one hour. But believe me, if I can do it, it cannot be that hard.
PROS:
- The unit still works after about 8 years, so it can't be too bad!
- It jammed for the first time a few days ago, and at first I thought I had to buy a new unit (which is why I started looking for reviews of comparable products on Amazon and why I am writing this review myself only now). Then I found out that the unit comes with a wrench which can be used to rotate the motor to unjam it. It took me about 5 seconds and now it's working like before.
- We did not have any leaks so far.
CONS:
- Noisy. We do not use it too much, so we do not care too much, but it certainly is loud.
- Not that powerful. We have to be very careful with what we put in, especially now after several years. We have trouble if stuff like tomato skins, shrimp or egg shells end up inside. Really we are reaching the point when we can only use it for... soupy stuff.
- Given that a lot of stuff is not properly shredded, sometimes there is bad smell coming from the unit and I finding myself more and more often fishing for residues inside, which is a bit gross.
Overall, I can't say that I have been too happy with this unit, but I also can't agree with reviewers that are finding this a piece of junk. I am sure it's not the best you can buy out there, but it's also not so expensive and surely you could do worse. But if I had to purchase a new one today (and maybe I will) I would certainly choose something different. Most probably a Waste King L-8000 which appears to be highly recommended by a lot of people and consumer reports.
 Piece of junk March 3, 2010
Grant F. Boss
Our Badger 5 is 4 1/2 years old and was installed by builder in our new home. It has now developed a leak and we just noticed heavy rust on the entire 3 bolt housing. Haven't determined cause of leak, but have ordered a Waste King L-8000 from Amazon and can't wait to replace this unit. Unit is noisy and under the best of circumstances, takes forever to dispose of food.
Lasted 7 Years February 27, 2010
B. Wright (OHIO)
Bought this unit new from Lowes and installed it myself. The install was easy but after 7 years of use I now have to uninstall the unit. I noticed a water leak under my sink and traced it back to the garbage disposal.
It was leaking out the bottom through the electrical area. The disposal is loud and has clogged up only a couple of times. Overall maybe a good unit or maybe I just got lucky based on all of the other reviews, but I am going to replace it with a Kenmore unit. For the price I paid I'll give it 3 stars.
Don't waste your money on this waste February 16, 2010
Keith A. Dinsmore
Lasted a whopping 5 years under light usage. Leaks and rusts. I had a Kitchen Aid last 12 years before we wrecked it by putting something bad in it. I've read this is a common problem w/these units but no help from the company. I believe this is a manufacturing defect.
