Evolution Series® Disposers
If 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.
Environmentally Friendly, Wallet-Friendly Choice
The 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 Warranty
The 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.

 Badger 5, Another One Bites the Dust September 4, 2010
Buffy77
We have just moved into a 6 year old house and the Badger 5 garbage disposal has a nuisance leak. The leak is most evident when emptying a basin of water, which then fills the disposal. Of course, the house inspection didn't pick this up and it is out of warranty! There is a vertical crack the full length of the housing between the conical transition and the motor canopy. Reading other reviews, this is more than wear and tear and should be considered a design flaw. This disposal is also relatively noisy. We would not purchase this disposal again. However, we did replace it with another Badger product, an Evolution Series Space Saver. It is a completely different construction and design and comes with a four (4) year warranty. It is as quiet as a church mouse and was easy to install on the existing spin-on mounting. Although the cost is about double it will be well worth it!!
 THE WORST August 13, 2010
James Salzmann (Mabank, TX United States)
THIS PRODUCT SUCKS. WE HAD A LOWER END PRODUCT...PROBABLEY A KENMORE...IN OUR OLD HOUSE AND NEVER EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT IT. THIS INSINKERATOR CAME WITH OUR HOUSE AND WE HAVE TO PLUNGE IT CONSTANTLY. DO---NOT---BUY. THE COMPANY SHOULD RECALL THIS PRODUCT AND GIVE EVERY PO'D CUSTOMER A NEW ONE.
 Replacement Food Disposer August 8, 2010

I moved into a new town-home in 2003 which included a InSinkErator Badger 1/4 HP disposer. It lasted up until this year, 2010.
I decided to upgrade to the 1/2 HP Badger 5. The installation could not have been more straight-forward and simple. I won't lie; I didn't do it since my handy-man brother was helping me, but it took him but 15 minutes. It works like a charm and helps out with the smelly food-waste fermenting in a garbage can. I would recommend this to anyone with little do-it-yourself knowledge and someone who wants to keep cost down.
Will not last July 30, 2010
Frustrated
I have lived in my house for only ten years and have alread had two garbage disposals. The last one purchased at home depot was the Badger 5. This one lasted less than 4 years. It worked fine while it worked. Just this week I found a ton of water under my sink and found that the flywheel seal was toast. I thought I could replace it but the service department indicated that the body is made of plastic and can not be serviced without a high cost. They indicated it would be most cost effective to buy a new one.
I will and I plan to purchase a different brand. Don't fool yourself I am an Engineer and know they can do better than this.
Beware of missing parts July 25, 2010

I was replacing a unit that was 9 years old. This unit does NOT come with a power cord or the rubber gasket needed to mount the unit to the upper mount. I had to reuse both parts from the old unit. Not happy with this. The box had no instructions in it and the instructions online are very poor. The unit did work once I mounted it. It seams to be quieter than the old one. Just be prepared to buy extra parts when buying this unit.
