I needed to replace the Badger 1/3 hp garbage disposal that was emitting smoke... I just intended to get another Badger but once at the hardware store, I saw the Moen models available. I saw the Moen models have a smaller (thinner) footprint which is good for under the sink storage any way you look at it. Then it also was available in a 1/2 hp model which is bigger than the existing 1/3 hp I was replacing. And not to mention it was PRE-WIRED! All at the EXACT SAME price as the bigger, less powerful, un-wired Badger model. Also a perfect fit and works great!
