Amazon.com Product Description

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.

Environmentally Friendly, Wallet-Friendly Choice

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).

5.0 out of 5 stars Still going after 12 years!, July 29, 2007

By	J. Amicucci (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Case Cracked, Blades Rusted, April 27, 2009

By	Chill Fan (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

There must be some kind of systematic design flaw with this model.

I've owned two of these little monsters, and on both of them, the blades were covered in rust after about 5 years of gentle use. Is this what water and dish soap do to the moving parts in that amount of time? No wonder they won't warranty it for more than a year.

On the first unit, the blades just locked up -- I assumed due to the corrosion. On the second unit, the case developed a crack in its side, and water had leaked beneath my cabinet (which went unnoticed until black mold had ruined the cabinet base). The location of the crack doesn't appear to have been any kind of obvious stress point, so I am assuming it was created by interior rust and corrosion.

I have to wonder if the more expensive models have this problem as well, or is it just on this low-end model.

Advice: If you buy this model for the price, be sure to inspect it on a yearly basis for signs of its demise.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cracked and Useless, December 7, 2008

By	P. Gayer (Arizona) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Had a new house built in 06 and the builder installed the unit. Only stayed in the new house for a couple of months in 06 and a couple of months in 07 and finally moved in full time July of 08. Never had a disposal before so we really didn't use it to the full extent and only have two people living in the house. In Dec of 08 I noticed a leak under the sink and upon investigation found that the plastic housing where the waste pipe connects had about a 1/4" crack. The unit hasn't been in use for even a year even though I'm sure I'll get "its out of warranty" proclamation. The motor still works but the unit is pretty much worthless since it leaks like a seive I'd stay away from this unit.
