by|Dec 3, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Hi Camille, appreciate your inquiry. While a disposer should provide many years of service, like any appliance, the life of an InSinkErator® Disposer is entirely dependent upon service conditions, usage patterns, and local water quality. If the disposer keeps getting jammed, you can follow the steps we have online to resolve the issue. Here is the link: https://support.insinkerator.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/515. You can also reach out to us directly at https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask.

    Q:Is the Badger 900 a direct replacement for the Badger 100-1 or does it need modification? Thanks
    by|Dec 3, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Hi MaxBet, thanks for your question. We still make the Badger 100. Should you want to get a different model, you can replace it with any Badger disposer, and that should line up with your current plumbing configuration without modification.

        Q:What Model Insinkerator will replace my 777ss? not so much on the horsepower, just on size, so its a direct replacement, im thinking of downsizing to a 3/4 Hp. Will the 900 or the complete model work? thanks so much
        by|Nov 20, 2023
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  Hi Joseph, thanks for the inquiry. Badger 900 is a bit smaller than the 777SS, and plumbing modification is needed. While the InSinkErator Complete model has the same dimensions and same plumbing as your disposer, you can use it for replacement without any modification. Should you have questions, you can reach out to us at https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask.

            Broken Disposal

              Installed without issue and working great. I purchased this to replace an older model InSinkErator Badger 500 that lasted 7+ years.

              Great garbage disposal! I installed it by myself.
              I watched a YouTube video that gave me the courage to install the complete disposal myself. Here are a few tips for ladies who want to install the disposal. Familiarize yourself with everything before starting the installation. Buy an inexpensive bottle jack (usually under $20). Use the jack to place the disposal exactly where you need it before locking it in. If it’s noisy or vibrating after installation, then the mounting screws may be over-tightened. Loosen them up a little bit.

                When your home builder installed insinkerator disposal fails as ours...
                When your home builder installed insinkerator disposal fails as ours did 13 months after buying the house. This is the easiest and best option to get the sink back in operation. I bought a higher end model first but after seeing that I would need to revise my sink plumbing that was in limited space and me being 6’-3” tall I immediately went back to Home Depot and bought this one. Insinkerator should make all their models used the same matchup plumbing in my opinion. However this one is really a great option for me. Probably only a 15 minute replacement for most people. However I had a slide out shelf and shelf liner to remove and dry out that took more time

                Great products trusted durability
                Owned three homes over the years. InSinkErator's were in all of them. Got a new kitchen going in. Thought about reusing the present garbage disposal but i bought a new one. Will save 15.00 bucks and repurpose the electrical cord. I trust the InSinketator brand.

                Response from InSinkEratorMay 1, 2023
                Hi! We appreciate your feedback. We offer both corded and uncorded units. Many retailers choose to carry the uncorded units with a separate power cord kit in order to accommodate as many people as possible. Each person's electrical situation is different, so if you have purchased an uncorded unit, you can find a power cord kit with part number 09008D at most retail stores or plumbing suppliers. For safety reasons, we do not recommend the use of an old power cord. If you require further help, feel free to contact us via https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask. Thank you!
