My Final Opinion & Price
Insinkerator Badger 5 is an inexpensive 1/2 HP garbage disposal suitable for small family with light usage in the kitchen. It’s not too noisy and gives you a satisfactory performance for your basic household needs.
Installing this unit is very easy, especially if you’re buying one to replace an old identical model. This means that you used back the existing sink flange and mounting brackets. You just need to remove the old unit and snap the new one in place. One plus point is the compact size which allows you to mount it inside a limited space under the sink.
