Review on πŸ’₯ InSinkErator Garbage Disposal with Cord - Badger 5 (1/2 HP) Continuous Feed by Payton Luna

Revainrating 5 out of 5

30 minutes with a hammer and screwdriver and arrow - done.

I bought this to replace a much older version of the same model which was (thank goodness) the same size and profile. The old one had a gasket that failed and water leaked under it which in turn tripped the breaker. Very easy to install. Disconnect the old one, and then remove the drain pipe and hose from the dishwasher. I left the existing collar assembly in place. A NOTICE. If you are installing a new clutch assembly, you will need installation putty. The biggest challenge for me was getting the existing clutch out of the clutch as I had turned it the wrong way (clockwise) at first. left to right) and tightened rather than loosen it, making it harder to unplug (DOH!). One thing that's easy to overlook but very important: IF YOU HAVE A DISHWASHER PLUG, DON'T FORGET TO REMOVE THE PLUG BEFORE CONNECTING THE DISHWASHER HOSE! Alternatively, you can just keep a mop and bucket nearby. In the end, the whole job took maybe 30 minutes (but could take less) and it works like a charm. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
