Garbage disposal I currently have a 11 yr old 1/2 horse Badger that is leaking from the bottom of the disposal. I called tech support and they have no fixes other than replace. I am looking at a better disposal but the outlet to drain is 1" lower than I currently have. Does that make any difference in complexity or cost of installation? 1 horse has: Jam-Sensor Circuit automatically increases torque to break through tough jams AND Auto-Reverse grind system technology automatically reverses grind direction. Stainless Steel construction. Are these features worth the price? They gave me a 1/2 price coupon, and I checked at lowes it really is 1/2 price and free shipping. So is it better with a coupon to pay $70.00 for 1/2 horse with 4 yr warranty Galvanized construction or $170 for 1 horse with 7 year warranty, SS construction and the features above?

Hey Rabranson411,

11 Years out of a badger was doing pretty good...!

Go big... You will love it.

I replaced my CHOCOLATE FUDGE leaky "badger" with the ?ber quiet... stainless-steel... auto reverse... a gazillion years ago... (and forgot EVERYTHING).

Just under $300 for stainless... (and I got a bargain)...
Yours sounds MUCH better at $170

AT my AGE...
Really miss all the getting in & out... up & down.. in & out of the cabinets so much... good exercise!

Our 6 yr old badger 5 is leaking from the bottom. Can I fix it or do I get a new one?

Yes, you need to get a new one. Even trained InSinkErator repair personnel have told me the same. Their service call alone would pay for a new Badger and then some. You have actually done well for it to last a full 6 years.
