The In-Sink-Erator Badger 1-1/3 HP food waste disposer adds quality, performance, and reliability to the innovative product features found in waste disposal units. Powered by rugged induction motors and mounted to your sink with tough, stainless steel assemblies, In-Sink-Erator disposers are designed for years of trouble-free service. The included heavy-duty dura-drive motor is designed and manufactured to the same exacting specifications found in major appliances such as washers and dryers. The increased horsepower allows the disposer to grind even tough bones quickly and efficiently, while the stainless steel construction in the grind system prevents corrosion from shortening the life of the disposer. Other features include insulated sound shells that shield grind chamber noise, and additional sound deadening with a secondary sound baffle. The disposer also features a quick-lock sink mount that makes installation fast and easy. Simply twist off the old disposer and twist on the new one. The device delivers a continuous feed, as well as 360-degree swivel impellers. This disposer also features a 1-year parts and in-home warranty. |

Excellent value |
The Badger 1 at 1/3 HP is a fine value compared to the 1/4 HP disposals offered at or near the same price. It took me 10 minutes to install the disposal, even under a new sink/counter where there hadn't already been one.
* If you are buying this disposal, you will need to purchase a plug for it, or be prepared to hard wire it. |

new house 2 years 4 months ago |
|
and when I first moved in I thought that it was very quiet and in spite of the fact that my very first disposal over 46 years ago was an InSinkErator that I did not like, I felt this was great. But then the reason I am here is because it looks like we may have to replace it before too much longer. I put apples in it every night and it can't even grind up an apple for me. It is at a point where it will work one day and not the next. I am going to go for a generic brand next time. Brand name things are not what they used to be when my husband and I were first married 47 years ago. My washer from this new move a little over 2 years ago went out tonight as well. |

Value for the money |

This disposer was installed by my builder about ten years ago. it had light to moderate use (vacation home). It finally kicked the bucket just in time for Christmas. I did all the troubleshooting steps just to find out that the inner parts had rusted into dust and that was why the machine no longer worked. I had never heard of such a thing, and when I contacted the company, found out there was only a one year warranty and somehow I was ahead of the game. The company handled it well, they were professional and prompt. I did make sure that the next disposer I bought had a longer warranty and more horsepower. |

best disposal |
|
I bought this disposal to replace its twin brother, which was oooold (over 20 years), but which got damaged by ... a metal screw! replacement was very easy with no outside help. A real pleasure! And I am NOT a plumber. |

Still going after 12 years! |
After over 12 years of service I am about to replace my Badger 1 with a Badger 5xp. I felt I should write a review for the Badger 1 since it has served me so well for over 12 years! This was installed by my home builder and up until a couple months ago it has worked flawless and never once required service. I never had to unclog it or anything. It still works pretty good, but I decided it is time for a change because it is so old and it also has a little harder time chopping up things, but I would guess I could easily get another a year or two out of it.
I would suspect that the negative reviews written here were due to either faulty installation from the beginning or from people putting things in the disposal they should not. The model is not the type you should put chicken bones or corn cob husks in. This is a low end model for light duty work, don't get that wrong.
Treat this disposal the way it should be treated and I bet you get quite a few years out of it. |
