Questions & Answers
Based on my personal experience, I believe the answer is probably yes. We used to have an Emerson that went bad 15 years ago, so I replaced it with a 1/2 HP Badger. The flange did not need to be changed. It was a true "drop-in" situation. in". I bought this one as a replacement for the Badger, which died last week after about 15 years of service. I didn't replace the flange after that. Another "drop-dead" moment had arrived. I did have to install a wall outlet under the sink to plug it in, though. One of those blue boxes will suffice.
It'll fit because the case appears to be identical.
Yes, it is.
Not at all, I believe.

Badger5 plus 5/8ths, I'm sorry to see you go after 13 years of dedicated service. In terms of horsepower, Erator must be sunk. br>It's too bad you couldn't hold your water any longer, despite our attempts to use adult diapers. When I disconnected your plumbing and unplugged your plug, it brought a tear to my eye. After your visit to the metal recycling facility, it's time to move on to your next life. br>br>Hello, newbie. Badger 5XP has a power output of 34 hp. You did everything exactly as I had hoped. Because I'm not as strong as I was when I installed your brother, I used an automobile scissors jack to hold you in place while I installed you. br>Because you are the strong silent type, I am happy to give you a five-star review.
After reading numerous reviews of the Insinkerator's two main models, I realized that the more expensive model's primary "quietness" was most likely due to the sink drain insert that can be purchased as an accessory for the significantly less expensive Badger model. br>br>I was replacing an old Sears disposer made by Insinkerator, which had a narrower profile than the Badger's. Because it appeared that my piping layout would not allow for the Evolution's wider profile (larger diameter) (due to more sound insulation), I decided to go with the Badger and save a hundred dollars while getting a quieter disposer than I was used to. br>br>I made the correct choice: It was super smooth, quieter than my old one without the sink drain insert, and SUPER QUIET with the drain insert in place, and it fit in the designated space. I'll take it!.
Our house is eight years old, and all of the appliances, including the off-brand 14 HP garbage disposal, are slowly breaking down. I worked at Lowe's in college and was always impressed with the quality of this brand, so we went with the 34HP because it was under $100 and was 3x as powerful as our previous one, and our house is relatively new (less than 10 years), so it was a quick swap out. To remove the old one, simply unplug it and turn it counterclockwise (this one comes with a handy tool to assist you). If you have your dishwasher's line connected, don't forget to remove the knockout. To loosen your old one off the sink and unattach and reattach your dishwasher drain nipple, you may need a flat head Phillips screw driver and a small hammer. Your P traps under the sinks should be compression fittings, hand tightened then a quarter turn past, according to the instructions, so hopefully they didn't use glues or anything (one of our fittings had been glued). It took about 12 minutes to replace all of the parts. It came with a cord to plug into an outlet under the sink, but some older homes may have it hard wired, so check what you have. As for performance, it was flawless. Sound-wise, it's about the same as the old one, maybe a little quieter, but boy, does it work like a charm, and that extra 12 HP makes a huge difference. We're a family of five, and we eat dinner at home almost every night, so this kid gets plenty of exercise. The warranty is for 5 years, and this is the third time I've used one on an Insinkerator product. I had originally chosen the 12 HP for my first 34 HP, but the extra 14 HP was a no-brainer given the price. Great product, highly recommended; however, be sure to follow the instructions and, if you have one, remember to include the dishwasher knockout.
I bought this unit as a direct replacement for an almost identical InSinkErator Badger we'd had for at least 8 to 10 years, with the goal of making installation as simple as possible. We don't use our garbage disposal very often, but eight to ten years seems like a reasonable lifespan. The existing mount made swapping out the old unit for the new one a breeze. I think it took me no more than 20 minutes - and did not necessitate the use of nearly any tools Nice.
It was the same as or better than buying it at Home Depot because I could use my Amazon gift cards and credit card; it was simple to install because I already had the upper portion in my sink because I was replacing a similar brand; you simply push it up into the ring slots and turn to lock it on. Plus, the power cord is already attached to this model. There is no need to install that. This model was not available at Home Depot at the time, but I was able to install it despite being a petite woman. My husband was waiting to hand me the tool and assist me in tightening it (a little muscle is required). Take my advice and support the bottom with a small box or step stool while maneuvering this into place to line up with the drain pipe and DW hose.
br>br>Since bigger is always better, I went with the 3/4 HP model in the hopes of getting an exact fit. Fortunately, it was, and it fit perfectly with the existing sink hardware and drain tailpipe; the most difficult part was loosening the old one's mounting ring. This went a little better after I used a small floor jack to support the weight. A bottle or scissor jack, I'm sure, would do the trick. The jack also made it easier to support the new one while tightening up the mounting ring by allowing me to gradually lower the old one down to retrieve it. Having a small jack makes things a lot easier. br>br>Having a small jack makes things a lot easier.
I expected it to work better after reading the positive feedback. It's convenient to have the power cord attached, which is a big plus. A LEMON, on the other hand, was difficult to grind up. It was, after all, an old lemon that had become brittle. However, even after halving the lemon, the disposal continued to have issues with it for quite some time - trouble that is loud and agitated Other, much more mundane, minor issues cause it problems as well. Always remember to place the drain screen on the opposite side of the sink or block it with a cup. The water fountains are going to be turned on. I may be new to using a garbage disposal, but I never had any of these issues with my old garbage disposal, which cost about a quarter of the price. So Meh.
