Evolution Series® DisposersIf 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.
, Wallet-Friendly ChoiceThe 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 WarrantyThe 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.

Customer Reviews
58 of 59 people found the following review helpful  Possible defect?, October 30, 2007 This review is from: InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer (Tools & Home Improvement) I installed my Badger 5 two years ago. I'm a single homeowner so it was used lightly. After grinding some onion scraps I noticed a leak under the sink. After careful inspection I noticed the disposal developed a crack in the housing unit. A quick call to InSinkErator revealed the unit was still under warrantee. I had a repair person out the following day who replaced the entire disposal with a Badger 5XP (he said they've stopped making the Badger 5). The problem was resolved quickly and to my satisfaction. My only concern with this unit is how or why it developed the crack with such light usage. Was this review helpful to you? YesNo Report abuse | Permalink Comment Comments (21)
44 of 46 people found the following review helpful  Good product for a reasonable price, May 14, 2007 By Rolf Bienert "rolf" (san francisco)
This review is from: InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer (Tools & Home Improvement) We replaced our 10-year old disposer with the Badger 5. It was easy to install and works just fine. I don't know if there could be anything better on the more expensive ones. One thing to notice is that it does not come with a wired-in power cord. So you have to get a cord with a plug and connect it to the unit (I used the one from the old disposer). It is easy to do; just like wiring a light fixture in. Was this review helpful to you?

48 of 52 people found the following review helpful  Poor quality, February 13, 2008 This review is from: InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer (Tools & Home Improvement) We have just had our 3 year old unit fail completely in the same way Paul did. The plastic housing is cracking. Of course this is not something that can be fixed by replacing a washer or something simple. When I phoned their customer service, I was told that as it was out of the 2 year warranty, they were not interested. While I can understand this for minor problems, it is pretty bad when the unit is completely worthless such a small time after installation. Emerson products might have been good 20 years ago, but they sure aren't now. Unless you like doing plumbing repairs, steer clear. Was this review helpful to you?

23 of 23 people found the following review helpful Starts life a disposer, ends up a shower head, September 19, 2009 By Skinnyskier (Eagle River, AK) This review is from: InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer (Tools & Home Improvement) My Badger 5 worked as expected until just after the 2-year warranty expired. Then while searching for the source of water under the sink and odd bits of crust on the disposer, I discovered several cracks in the grind chamber housing. When I filled the sink with water and cranked up the disposer, it became something very like a feature at a kids' waterpark -- but much less fun. ISE responded to my complaint with an offer of a discount on a new Badger but would not provide any assurance that its design or manufacture had been changed to address this apparently common problem. I'm used to disposers lasting for decades, not months, and don't enjoy spending time off under my kitchen sink, so I'm going to try a Waste King this time around. Was this review helpful to you?

13 of 13 people found the following review helpful Another Cracked Housing, March 25, 2009 This review is from: InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer (Tools & Home Improvement) Here's another one for the list of cracked housings on the Badger 5 model. The unit is only about 4 years old and started leaking from the bottom of the unit. Service had me run through the usual and never told me that this was a common problem with this model. I would not buy another insinkerator model at this point, there are too many other good products on the market. The replacement model for the Badger 5 is the Badger 5 XP if anyone is interested.

12 of 12 people found the following review helpful Badgers suck., September 17, 2010 This review is from: InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer (Tools & Home Improvement) I own a property management business in Oregon and we have a number of properties that require appliances all at once. We frequently purchase several of these to put into our custom homes. My recent experience with the Insinkerator disposal by Badger was very frustrating. Our tenant was experiencing a dripping under the sink several times, and calling our maintenance person, we found there was a very slight crack along the base of the disposal itself, lenghwise. Clearly a problem with a brand new installed disposal. I was directed to Brandon in Manila, Phillipines. I found that providing the serial number they begin the warranty from the date the item was manufactured. I was put on hold for 20 minutes and had to call the tenant twice to get information confirming the Badger product. Their fix was for me to take it to a warranty center to have it repaired. I found their non compliance to be very frustrating even if the employee was pleasant. They have obviously found a way to avoid making their warranty anything more valuable than the letters on the box. Was this review helpful to you? YesNo Report abuse | Permalink Comment Comment
11 of 12 people found the following review helpful Very poor for grinding food., June 2, 2008 This review is from: InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer (Tools & Home Improvement) Installation is straight forward and the quality of the materials is very good. The problem is their idea of impellers or blades. There are just 2 moving parts that grind things up and they more or less bash the food into smaller pieces. If you put anything small such as the ends of a carrot or an apple core, the initial bashing works, but very shortly the remains of the food spin to the outer edged beyond the reach of the impellers and it just stays there. Turning the unit on and off and on and off 5-6 times will eventually work but this is not even close to the quality of grinding I saw on much older models. They could have solved this problem with the simple addition of another impeller (cost about 78 cents) but as it is you will be cleaning out bits of food a lot. UPDATE: They seem to have cut the warranty in half since mine was purchased just a few months ago. Not a good sign. Was this review helpful to you? YesNo Report abuse | Permalink Comment Comment
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful Nothing Lasts Forever..., June 26, 2009 By James Dillard (Bedford, NH)
This review is from: InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer (Tools & Home Improvement) Our first Insinkerator Badger 5 lasted five years before the internal seals gave out and the unit began leaking. Like so many appliances today, "they don't build them like they used to." That said, the Badger 5 served us well for the five years it lasted. It's not too noisy, does a good job of grinding and is reasonably priced. My wife got some very small gravel lodged in the unit and it was easy to un-jam. The really good news is the unit is extremely easy to replace with the same or a similar Insinkerator disposal. The quick-release cam-lock sink attachment system is quite well designed. I purchased a new Insinkerator Badger 5 and had it wired, installed and fully operational in half an hour using the old unit's previously installed cam-lock and external wiring. And believe me when I say I'm no master plumber! Am I happy our original Insinkerator Badger 5 unit died after just five years? No, but you get what you pay for. Jim Was this review helpful to you?

This review is from: InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer (Tools & Home Improvement) Stay away from this brand. I have had it for 2 years, and for the last year it has clogged every time I try to put potato or carrot peels down the disposal unit. Was this review helpful to you?

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful  Failed at 5 years, March 17, 2009 By Kingdom worker (Rancho Cucamonga, CA) This review is from: InSinkErator Badger 5 1/2 HP Food Waste Disposer (Tools & Home Improvement) I replaced a Waste King unit with the Badger 5 about 5 years ago. Unfortunately Home Depot didn't have anything else that was affordable. This unit has never performed as well as the Waste King did. It took a long time to grind food completely. The last year or so it has clogged often. The motor gave up this week and will only hum. Was this review helpful to you? YesNo Report abuse | Permalink Comment Comment
