InSinkEratorGarbage Disposal with Power Cord, Badger 1, Standard Series, 1/3 HP Continuous Feed, Black

Ordered this exact replacement for one that started leaking under our sink. Watched one YouTube video about how to replace it. It took just a few minutes and basically saved me a $300 plumbing bill and a bunch of hassle coordinating and waiting.The only thing I had trouble with was that the previous plumber put PVC glue on the tailpiece that formed the junction with the disposal. You might want to pick one of those up in case you run into the same thing.Also, a little squirt of WD40 will make removing the old one easier and make locking the new one in place less intense.Read the directions before starting. The disposal will turn to align with the pipes even after your put it in place; then you lock it down by giving the collar a turn with the included hex wrench. Very easy once you realize how it works.

The unit fits and works perfectly. An exact replacement for the old broken unit. The only thing missing from the box was the hex tool for attaching the unit to the sink, and for clearing jams. This was no problem, as I have a hex set, and anyway, I always use a screwdriver for tightening the unit down to the sink. I have always been satisified with Amazon refurbished products, and have never received anything that does not operate perfectly. If you havent checked before, check out Amazon Resale. You can find some great deals!

Easy to install as we had an existing, 8 year old Badger disposal and didn't have to remove the top attachment parts (i.e., the sink hole cover and connector), and with pvc piping, no need for plumber's tape. Definitely watch YouTube how-to's for great tips and tricks. As others have said, if you connect to a dishwasher, don't forget to punch out the connector cover, super-easy with a hammer and screwdriver. All in all, we are keyboard warriors, definitely not plumbers or professional handymen, so if we could do this, anyone can!

Purchased this to replace an old disposal. This is The Badger 1 replacement or new install. Great thing is it comes with the power cord installed. You can detach it if necessary. This made for a literal plug and play install for a previous unit. It runs quieter and fit the original slip lock mount. My original unit was 7 + yrs old. Great purchase.

The unit is best used with an available outlet. The conversion to hard wire is not so easy. You must cut the housing or the wire. I cut the wire as close to the base as possible to avoid having to cut the housing. I used a vibratory saw and used the clamp connector from my old unit to anchor the wire. The unit works fine.

I bought this to replace an InSinkerator Badger 1 waste disposal we had for more than 11 years, it was well used and the motor would still run but developed a leak somewhere. The look, build and connections points/holes were exactly the same which made DIY installation very easy, just a drop and replace. Based on my old waste disposal, this is a very reliable and sturdy product. I hope it last the same time or even more.

original lost some blades after a year. This is an exact replacement - I din not have to replace in sink drain fitting, This mated right away, full time to change out =half hour.

As a single woman on a budget, I decided to replace my dead garbage disposal that was leaking from the bottom. I had already reset it and used the key for weeks and finally had to break down and buy a new one. I was a bit intimidated as I’ve never done this before but after watching a few DIY YouTube videos I decided to tackle it on my own. I bought the same model I was replacing. Not super quiet (it sounds like a normal garbage disposal), but that doesn’t really bother me (it’s not like I have to keep it on longer than needed to grind up food). I did remember to pop out the dishwasher connection tube plug (Easily done w/a screwdriver and a hammer). I disconnected some pipes to make the install less awkward & didn’t need to replace the mount already attached to the cabinet/sink. Fun fact: the key was a huge help detaching the old unit, it fits perfectly into the slot to help it turn.Once installed, I checked for leaks and it’s been working great since! Total install from prep to finish took about 45 min & that included clearing out the cabinet. I got the one w/the plug attached because I don’t mess with electricity.
