Review on ๐Ÿšฎ InSinkErator Badger 5 Garbage Disposal: Efficient 1/2 HP Continuous Feed Design in Sleek Black by Rich Rickenbaugh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The Badger 1 model was replaced by this model. Fits perfectly!

*UPDATE* Within minutes of installing and turning the water on and off, I noticed a tiny leak on the bottom edge due to poor workmanship. I've seen other people complain about leaks after installation. You are not crazy! Mine is leaking too! I contacted Revain and they sent me a shipping label and ordered a replacement. Hope the next one doesn't drip. ***Check after I installed the faulty Badger 5 model before realizing it was faulty: I replaced my Badger 1 model with this Badger 5. All sink and pipe parts fit this updated model. If you removed the Badger 5 label from the unit you would not be able to tell the difference between this model and the Badger 1 model. They are identical except that one motor is more powerful than the other. Everything is included to ensure there are no leaks. Tools are not included so make sure you have them. I'm a woman and I installed this myself if that tells you anything. Replacing your old Badger model with this one is a breeze. I'm sure if you're switching from one Badger to another brand, the sink sizes could be different and you could have a nightmare to deal with. Luckily I chose the same brand and had no issues with the ZERO. Hope that helps!
