Customer Reviews

No better than the Badger 1/3 HP!
Last year I wrote a good review for my 12 year old Badger 1 unit that I was retiring after 12 years of faithful service. I decided to replace the old unit with another Badger and chose this 5XP model. I had such good luck with with the Badger 1 that I chose to stay with the Badger line, but just upgrade to the more powerful unit. Installation was a breeze as the units were the same size.

I've now had this unit for about one year and unfortunately it does not perform any better than the old unit, in fact it even makes more noise! I still cannot grind very much in it and it appears to be no more powerful than the old unit.

I was expecting a more powerful unit that could perhaps handle a little more bulk than the Badger 1. What I got was basically the same unit as the Badger 1, just a little louder now.

Defective unit
The InSink Erator Badger I purchased last April was shipped to me here in the Philippines this month. I was having it installed when I first noticed there was no power cord. Fortunately I still had the old Badger and was able to use the cord. After installation, the new Badger did not work! It just produced a stuck-up sound. Now I have to suffer the consequence of buying overseas. The seller (Grady's Ace Hardware) should have inspected the item before delivery.

Terrible Service!
After ordering a garden hose from Crazy Dave, I instead received a propane tank. After numerous calls to them and promises that I would receive my hose, three weeks later I still had no hose and no one would return my calls. The main operator finally refunded my money after 3 and a half weeks. This group is totally incompetent!! I would never order from them.
