Product review (4 stars): direct  drop in for a badger 5
this was a direct drop-in replacement for a badger 5  @1/2hp. this is a 1/3hp and works as good as the old one.  this unit doesn't not come with a wrench so keep your old one! buyers should also know, that this unit doesn't have a port to loosen a jam. the direction instruct you to use a broom stick handle to free a stuck motor! For the price, it works great and is about the same loudness/noise level as the old one. pictures show the noise levels with water off and then on. with the meter at sink height.
