The InSinkErator Badger 1 1/3 HP Continuous Feed Garbage Disposer features a quick-mounting system that allows for easy installation or replacement. This sturdy garbage disposer is constructed from galvanized steel and features a 26 oz. chamber for space-saving waste disposal. The garbage disposer also features a 1,725 RPM, 1/3 HP motor that rapidly grinds food waste for easy rinsing down the drain.
We had a 1/2 HP Badger disposal that lasted 6 years. The sidewall cracked and of course leaked. I replaced it with this 1/3 HP unit. I felt 1/3 HP was adequate as there are only 2 of us and we never grind bones. (the dog loves us). Installation was a snap. Just hook up power cord, twist on the bracket, hook up plumbing, plug it in and go. This unit seems quieter. Don't know if that is because it is new or because of the lower HP. Whatever, it works great.
