Amazon.com Product Description:
The In-Sink-Erator Badger 5-1/2 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. The included heavy-duty dura-drive motor is designed and manufactured to the same exacting specifications found in major appliances like washers and dryers. The increased horsepower allows the disposer to grind even tough bones quickly and efficiently, while the stainless steel construction in the grind system prevents corrosion from shortening the life of the disposer. Other features include insulated sound shells that shield grind chamber noise, and additional sound deadening with a secondary sound baffle. The disposer also features a quick-lock sink mount that makes installation fast and easy. Simply twist off the old disposer and twist on the new one. The device delivers a continuous feed, as well as 360-degree swivel impellers. This disposer also features a 1-year parts and in-home warranty.

Badger 5 replaced two other brand disposals which were underpowered and didn't last long. The Badger 5 has lasted years, never clogs, and runs really cool. Whereas the previous ones overheated under a large load.
Insinkerator makes an add-on optional 3 way flexible output tube which connects over to the trap, which solves most installation problems, fits most of their models including this one, see it online for about $5 various places.

Rating:  - Another bites the dust
We moved here in 1994 and I, while remodeling the kitchen, decided to replace the 23 year old GE Disposall with an InSinkErator. That was the first one. In 1998 that one stopped grinding - ran but really only swirled the garbage - barely. New one - and that one ran until the innards rusted out in 2005.

Last night, 27 June '08, the motor started to overheat(smelled the hot insulation), made some loud growls and when shut off, instantly ... Read More

Not as powerful as I expected. I had a 3/4 HP unit before and it was too powerful and noisy. This one is Quieter but not NEAR as powerful. I feel tha I don't even have a 1/3 HP unit. Won't even grind up chicken bones.
Rating: - Very poor for grinding food.
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 ... Read More

In the fifth year of my 1/3 horse food disposer's life, it died. I ordered the 1/2 horse badger and as usual Amazon delivered it immediately. The installation went off quickly and without a hitch. It has been in service for approx. 2 months and it works fine...no problems.
