Questions & Answers
Warrantee
This unit is backed by a 2-Year “We Come To You” Limited In-Home Warranty.
Thanks for reaching out! The Badger 100 garbage disposal comes with a 2-year warranty that covers parts and in-home service. If you need any assistance or have questions about your unit, you can contact us via https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask. We are always here to help. (765)
What is the difference between the 5XL AND THE 500 models? Also can either one be hardwired Thank you
Hi Bart, thanks you for your question. The Badger 5XL and Badger 500 share the exact same internal components, 1/2-horsepower motor, and physical dimensions. They perform identically. The main distinction comes down to the retailer. The Badger 5XL is typically sold through Lowe's, while the Badger 500 is sold through The Home Depot. Both models can be hardwired into your home’s electrical setup. Just be sure to pick up the uncorded version of each unit. (765)
Does the 700 series come with a power cord?
Hi Arlene,thank you for the question. The Badger 700 does not include a power cord, as it is designed for direct hardwiring. If you prefer to plug it into a wall outlet, you can purchase our CRD-00 power cord kit separately. It attaches easily, and we are happy to help if you have any questions during installation. (765)
I have a Badger garbage disposal model 1-87. When I search it. It comes back model 100. Are they compatible?
Hi Tony, thank you for reaching out! Yes, the Badger 1 or 1-87 and Badger 100 are directly compatible. They share the exact same dimensions, specifications, and features, so swapping one for the other is straightforward. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask. (765)
If I'm replacing with the same model, do I need to buy another cord? I notice one model says with cord. One says without.
Hi Renee, thanks for reaching out. For the best performance and safety, we recommend connecting your garbage disposal to new power cord or purchase one with power cord already. (765)
Do it hook up to dishwasher
Hi Donald, thank you for your question! Yes, this unit and all other InSinkErator household disposers have a dishwasher inlet tube where you can connect your dishwasher drain hose. Check out the installation guide here: https://www.insinkerator.com/documents/badger-series-installation-care-use-manual-english-en-us-138440.pdf; see pages 3 and 8, instruction #15. (128)
I have a cover control-1 model. #11101681064. Can I get this one to replace it?
Hi! Thanks for reaching out. The Badger 700 is a continuous-feed disposer that requires an on/off switch (such as a wall switch), whereas your current model is a batch-feed unit that operates using a magnetic stopper. If you prefer a direct batch-feed replacement, we recommend the Advanced Series Cover Control model instead. Should you have further questions, please contact our Customer Service team via https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask. (128)
Quiet?
Hi, thank you for your inquiry! InSinkErator motors are engineered to run quietly, with our standard Badger line offering basic sound features. For even quieter operation, we recommend exploring our Power and Advanced Series models, which feature reduced sound insulation and Quiet SoundSeal® technology. (128)
