In the market for a new disposal. Would like to keep it under $100.
Was looking at "In-Sink-Erator 1/2 HP Badger 5 Disposer".
Any recommendations or gotchas?
thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
Check with Sears on pricing, and go with Stainless steel, no less than 1/2hp.
Back when we were an In-sink-erator dealer, my *cost* for their '333' stainless model was about $125.00. At the same time, Sears was selling the exact model with 'Kenmore' on the nameplate, for $89.00.
(Guess it's pretty obvious why we're no longer with ISE ).
God bless,

Also check Consumer Reports for a good article and comments confirming prior post.

I installed a Sears stainless steel model, one horse power unit that has a
10 year guarantee. I got mine when they had their % off sales, and with the coupons I had, I got it for around 169 bucks. Most of the so-called contractor models that are sold are pot metal and are 1/2 to 1/4 horse and last 3 to 5 years before they corrode out.
Hi,
ISE makes many of the other brands/names that you will find out there....they are as good and no worse than anything else :) I tend to agree with Dave, nothing under 1/2 HP.
