- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2025Style Name: DisposalVerified PurchaseI recently replaced my old garbage disposal with the InSinkErator Badger 5 and I am very impressed! The 1/2 HP motor is more than powerful enough for everyday food waste, and it handles everything from fruit peels to leftovers with ease. The continuous feed design makes it super convenient since I can keep adding food waste while it’s running without worrying about clogs.
Installation was a breeze, especially since the unit comes with the power cord pre-installed. It saved me a lot of time and hassle since I didn’t have to mess around with wiring. The disposal is also quiet compared to my old model, which was a pleasant surprise. It fits well under my sink and operates smoothly without creating a lot of noise or vibration.
The Badger 5 is durable and built to last, and I appreciate the reliable performance every time I use it. It does an excellent job of grinding up food waste, and I’ve had no issues with it clogging or jamming. It’s a great value for the price, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and easy-to-install garbage disposal.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2025Style Name: DisposalVerified PurchaseEasy to install, and works great! Typically this brand lasts about 8 years. Which is longer then most Garbage disposals in this class. Price range is reasonable. I ordered the one with the plug and that is exactly what I got. Definitely recommend
- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2025Style Name: DisposalVerified PurchaseSeeing the word “Insinkerator” around the hole in the sink that leads to the garbage disposal has always cracked me up, so I did not hesitate to order that brand again this time. Even though it had been at least ten years since the previous one, we were able to leave the flange around the drain from the old one and hang the new disposal on it, making the installation that much easier. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow, and we are grateful that no big changes had been made in the design. Works great and the unit is much quieter than the old one, a nice surprise. We remain an Insinkerator family!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2024Style Name: DisposalVerified PurchaseArrived in perfect condition, exactly as advertised.
The mount is pretty common as this is a major brand, so if you're replacing a similar machine (even if it came from another company) you might not even have to replace the outlet in your sink (I didn't!).
The cord is long enough to reach the outlet under most sinks (my previous disposal had much too long of a cord which got in the way). If you buy this from one of the "big box" stores, they charge (a lot) extra for the power cord, so having it come, already installed, was a real time-saver and money saver!
I needed to re-do the plumbing under my sink (for unrelated reasons), so I also bought the installation/plumbing kit, but if you are happy with the existing pipes, you might just be able to swap this unit in.
***** ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND ***** If you are going to use this with a dishwasher, there is a step in the installation where you use a screw-driver and a hammer to punch-out a piece of plastic so your dishwasher can empty into the disposal. It's VERY EASY to do, but if you don't... the first time you run your dishwasher, you're in for a nasty surprise! If you don't have a dishwasher, it's ready right out of the box. I almost installed it without punching the piece out. Thankfully, I did at least look over the instructions before installing it! (lol)
After I got it installed, I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it is, much quieter than the old one it replaced. I also liked that it is very stable, no vibrations at all. If they shake around, it will eventually loosen the pipes and you'll get leaks, but this model is smooth and didn't need a stand or bracing.
For me, the cost of this disposal was less than the cost of having the home warranty company send someone out to repair the old machine. If you feel "handy" enough to swap one out, it's an easy project!

- Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2024Style Name: DisposalVerified PurchaseThis review would be a 5 star based only on the actual disposal performance as this brand is excellent, thats why I ordered it. The downside for me was I ordered with the power cord and got the disposal without a power cord so I had to wire the power cord from the old disposal to this one and I am no electrician or really even much of a handyman to begin with so I wasn’t excited about doing that. (They did refund a couple dollars for the difference between this disposal and the one without the power cord).
I see where people say it doesn’t make noise but I cant share in that experience because it does make some noise, it’s not obnoxiously loud at all but you’re going to hear it turn on.
Installation wasn’t that difficult and honestly if I didn’t have to wore the power cord it would have been much easier and faster. This is a DIY project almost anyone can do as long as you can get yourself under the sink.
I will update this in a year or so if the performance becomes any sort of issue but as of now it works great.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2025Style Name: DisposalVerified PurchaseMy old InSinkErator was from 2013, a Badger 5 model 5-84.
This one is a Badger 5 model 5-91A. It fits perfectly in place of the old one.
No need to change the under sink mounting bracket. No need to reposition the drain plumbing.
Neighborhood handyman got the old one out and the new one in in less than 1/2 hour. Simple enough that I could have done it myself but my back appreciates me not attempting it. The disposal is heavy.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2025Style Name: DisposalVerified PurchasePurchased this to replace a 20 y/o Badger. Fittings, including sink bracket were all the same so it went in without a problem. Didn’t need to change the sink bracket which saved time and aggravation! Working well, no leaks and quiet enough.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2024Style Name: DisposalVerified PurchaseAs my handyman skills are about 7 out of 10, I bought the badger 5 (standard) with a power cord. The extra 5 bucks for the garbage disposal with the power cord was a reasonable price to pay. Installation was straightforward: 15 mins of youtube plus 15 mins to remove the old disposal and another 15 mins to install the new one. The new disposal replaces a badger 5 that was installed 19 yrs old that started leaking last week. Hope this new one also lasts 19 yrs! Thanks to the Badger engineering & product teams for a wonderful, reasonably priced product.
