# InSinkErator Disposal Model Cross-Reference: Badger, Power and Evolution by Horsepower, Grind Stages, Warranty, Mount and Cord > InSinkErator's current lineup in one table: Badger 1, 5 and 5XP at 1/3 to 3/4 HP with 2 to 6 year warranties, Power at 6 to 7 years, Evolution at 9 to 10 years. | | | |---|---| | Source | https://ownerspec.com/plumbing/parts/insinkerator-disposal-model-cross-reference/ | | Publisher | OwnerSpec (https://ownerspec.com/) | | Published | 2026-09-27 | | Updated | 2026-09-27 | | Facts verified | 2026-09-27 | | Disclosure | Contains affiliate links.

Badger 1, 5 and 5XP are 1/3, 1/2 and 3/4 HP with a single grind stage and 2, 5 and 6 year in-home warranties. Power .75HP and 1.0HP add a 2-stage MultiGrind at 6 and 7 years. Evolution .75HP has 3 stages at 9 years, Evolution 1.0HP has 4 stages at 10 years, and the Septic Guard and Cover Control are 3-stage, 3/4 HP, 9-year variants. Two specs decide whether a swap is a drop-in. First, the mount: only the three Badger product pages print Quick Lock, while every Power and Evolution page prints Lift and Latch, and no InSinkErator page read for this article states that one family's unit fits the other's mounting ring. Second, the cord: the Badger pages sell each model with or without a factory cord, and the Power and Evolution pages print Cord Included: No. ## Fact sheet - **Answer:** InSinkErator's comparison chart lists eleven current disposals: Badger 1, 5 and 5XP (1/3, 1/2 and 3/4 HP, single-stage grind, 2, 5 and 6 year warranties), Power .75HP and 1.0HP (2-stage MultiGrind, 6 and 7 years), and the Evolution models (3- or 4-stage MultiGrind, 9 or 10 years). Only the three Badger pages print Quick Lock; the Power and Evolution pages print Lift and Latch and Cord Included: No. - **Applies to:** Series: Badger 1, 5, 5XP; Series: Power .75HP, 1.0HP; Series: Evolution .75HP, 1.0HP, Septic Guard, Cover Control - **Compatibility basis:** InSinkErator's garbage disposal comparison chart and the individual product pages for the Badger 1, Badger 5, Badger 5XP, Power .75HP, Power 1.0HP, Evolution .75HP, Evolution 1.0HP, Evolution Septic Guard and Evolution Cover Control, read on 27 September 2026 - **Assumptions:** Horsepower, grind stages, sound tier, warranty and feed type come from the comparison chart; mount wording, height, amps and the cord line come from each product page. Where a product page did not print a figure the cell says not printed.; No InSinkErator page read this session states that a new unit fits the mounting assembly left by an old one, so this page does not claim it. The Quick Lock name appears only on the three Badger pages.; Waste King and Moen spec sheets were not readable this session (waste-king.com returned a server error, moen.com an empty shell), so the Moen GT50C row carries only what its Amazon listing title prints. - **Method:** Each figure copied from the InSinkErator page named in the cell's row and cross-checked against the comparison chart. OwnerSpec installed nothing and measured nothing. - **Primary source:** [InSinkErator, Garbage Disposal Comparison Chart](https://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/insinkerator-products/garbage-disposals/disposal-comparison-chart) (manufacturer or vendor document) - **Facts verified:** 2026-09-27 - **Last updated:** 2026-09-27 - **Canonical URL (cite this):** https://ownerspec.com/plumbing/parts/insinkerator-disposal-model-cross-reference/ If your unit hums when switched on, it is jammed, not dead: run the [reset procedure](/plumbing/guides/garbage-disposal-humming-not-spinning-reset/) before you read a single row below. ## Which InSinkErator model replaces yours? Horsepower, grind stages, sound tier, feed type and warranty are from InSinkErator's comparison chart. Height, amps and mount wording are from each product page. | Model | HP | Grind | Sound tier | Warranty | Height | Amps (avg) | Mount wording | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Badger 1 | 1/3 | 1-stage, galvanized steel | Standard | 2 yr | 11-1/2 in | 5.6 | Quick Lock, Lift and Latch | | Badger 5 | 1/2 | 1-stage, galvanized steel | Standard | 5 yr | 11-1/2 in | 6.3 | Quick Lock, Lift and Latch | | Badger 5XP | 3/4 | 1-stage, stainless steel | Standard | 6 yr | 12-5/8 in | 9.5 | Quick Lock, Lift and Latch | | Power .75HP | 3/4 | 2-stage MultiGrind, stainless | Reduced | 6 yr | 12.25 in | not printed | Lift and Latch | | Power 1.0HP | 1 | 2-stage MultiGrind, stainless | Reduced | 7 yr | 12.25 in | not printed | Lift and Latch | | Evolution .75HP (and LED) | 3/4 | 3-stage MultiGrind, stainless | Quiet SoundSeal | 9 yr | 12.25 in | not printed | Lift and Latch | | Evolution 1.0HP (and LED) | 1 | 4-stage MultiGrind, stainless | Quietest SoundSeal | 10 yr | 12.25 in | not printed | Lift and Latch | | Evolution Septic Guard | 3/4 | 3-stage MultiGrind, stainless | Quiet SoundSeal | 9 yr | 12.25 in | 9.5 | Lift and Latch | | Evolution Cover Control | 3/4 | 3-stage MultiGrind, stainless | Quiet SoundSeal | 9 yr | 14.95 in | not printed | Lift and Latch | Every model is continuous feed except the Cover Control, which the chart lists as batch feed with a magnetic CoverStart switch: it runs only with the cover in place. All of them run a Dura-Drive induction motor; the Evolution 1.0HP page prints 1725 rpm, single phase. The Badger 100, 500 and 900 are not on InSinkErator's chart or lineup page. An Amazon listing titled Badger 500 exists, but no InSinkErator page confirmed it as a current SKU, so it is left out. Warranty is the cleanest tell for which tier an old unit belonged to. InSinkErator's FAQ gives the ranges: Standard Series 1 to 3 years, Power Series 4 to 7 years, Quiet Series 8 to 10 years. ## Does the new one fit the old mount? A mounting assembly is the sink flange, gasket and ring that stay on the sink when the disposal body comes off. Most cross-reference charts take it as universal across the brand, and InSinkErator does not print it that way. | Old unit | New unit | What InSinkErator prints | |---|---|---| | Badger 1, 5 or 5XP | Badger 1, 5 or 5XP | All three pages: "Twist-On, Twist-Off Quick Lock Mount" with Lift and Latch | | Badger | Power or Evolution | Power and Evolution pages: "Lift and Latch technology". No page read states it fits an existing Quick Lock ring | | Power or Evolution | Power or Evolution | Lift and Latch on both pages; no cross-fit statement | InSinkErator's installation guide and literature hub were not readable this session, so the honest position is: within the Badger family the pages print the same mount name, and outside it nothing on the maker's site was found that promises the old ring stays. Keep the flange and ring that ship in the box until the new unit is on. ## Does it come with a cord? The answer changes by family. | Family | Cord in the box | Where it says so | |---|---|---| | Badger 1, 5, 5XP | Two SKUs each: "with factory-installed power cord" or without | Each Badger product page | | Power .75HP, 1.0HP | Specifications print "Cord Included: No"; description names an "EZ Connect Power Cord & Hardwire Adapter" | Power product pages | | Evolution .75HP, 1.0HP, Cover Control | Specifications print "Cord Included: No" | Evolution product pages | | Any EZ Connect model | "EZ Connect Hardwire Adapter (EZ Connect Cord sold separately)" | InSinkErator lineup page | The Power and Evolution pages carry a contradiction: the bundle text names a cord and adapter, the spec line says no cord. The lineup page resolves it in favour of the spec line. If the old disposal plugged into an outlet, order the cord, or pick a Badger SKU whose listing title says with Power Cord. A hardwired unit is electrical work for a licensed electrician. The dishwasher side is simpler. The Badger pages list a dishwasher drain connection as Yes. The Power and Evolution pages name an EZ Removable Dishwasher Inlet Plug, which the Evolution 1.0HP page says comes out with the included wrenchette. It stays in if no dishwasher drains through the unit. ## What if the old unit was a Waste King? Waste King disposals now appear under the Moen brand: the current Amazon listings for the L-1001, L-2600, L-8000 and L-111 print Moen ahead of the Waste King model name. Neither waste-king.com (server error) nor moen.com (empty page shell) returned a spec sheet this session, so no Moen horsepower, warranty or mount figure from the maker appears here. The only Moen row this page can support is the Moen GT50C, whose listing title states 1/2 HP, continuous feed and a power cord included. That puts it in the Badger 5 class on horsepower, and nothing else about interchange is confirmed. **Match the mount before the motor** The Badger 5 is the one swap the maker's own pages support as same-mount, and only from another Badger. If you are leaving the Badger family for a Power .75HP or an Evolution 1.0HP, budget for the new flange in the box, the separate EZ Connect cord, and up to 3/4 inch more height under the sink than a Badger 5. The [best garbage disposal](/plumbing/reviews/best-garbage-disposal/) review argues which tier is worth it; this page only tells you what fits. ## The picks - **InSinkErator Badger 5, 1/2 HP**: Like-for-like swap for a Badger 1 or Badger 5 (1/2 HP Dura-Drive induction motor, single-stage grind, Quick Lock mount, 11-1/2 in tall, 5-year in-home warranty, per InSinkErator's page; this listing is the no-cord version) Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004U9JO/?tag=ownerspec-20 - **InSinkErator Badger 5XP with power cord, 3/4 HP**: Badger owner who wants 3/4 HP and the cord in the box (3/4 HP, single-stage grind, stainless grind components, Quick Lock mount, 12-5/8 in tall, 9.5 A average load, 6-year warranty, per InSinkErator's page; listing title says with Power Cord) Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BYFM5RG/?tag=ownerspec-20 - **InSinkErator Power .75HP**: Two grind stages without paying for Evolution (3/4 HP, 2-stage MultiGrind, Reduced Sound tier, Lift and Latch, 12.25 in tall, 6-year warranty; product page prints Cord Included: No) Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CDMD4S1B/?tag=ownerspec-20 - **InSinkErator Evolution 1.0HP**: Replacing an older top-of-range unit (1 HP at 1725 rpm, 4-stage MultiGrind, Quietest SoundSeal tier, Lift and Latch, 12.25 in tall, 10-year warranty; product page prints Cord Included: No) Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CDMGLWY1/?tag=ownerspec-20 - **Moen GT50C Prep Series, 1/2 HP**: Old unit was a Waste King, now sold as Moen (1/2 HP, continuous feed, power cord included, per the listing title; Moen's spec page was not readable this session) Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N3BK1YR/?tag=ownerspec-20 ## Frequently asked questions ### Which InSinkErator model is the direct replacement for a Badger 5? The Badger 5 is still current: InSinkErator's product page lists it at 1/2 HP, single-stage grind, 11-1/2 inches tall, with a 5-year in-home warranty and a Quick Lock mount. The Badger 5XP is the same family at 3/4 HP, 12-5/8 inches and 6 years. Stepping up to a Power or Evolution unit changes the mount wording on the page to Lift and Latch, so check the fit before ordering. ### Does a new InSinkErator come with a power cord? It depends on the SKU. The Badger 1, 5 and 5XP pages each offer a version with a factory-installed cord and one without. The Power and Evolution product pages print Cord Included: No in their specifications, and InSinkErator's lineup page says EZ Connect disposals feature the hardwire adapter with the EZ Connect cord sold separately. Read the listing title before buying. ### What is the difference between the Power and Evolution series? Grind stages, sound tier and warranty. InSinkErator's comparison chart gives the Power .75HP and 1.0HP a 2-stage MultiGrind, Reduced Sound and 6 or 7 year warranties. The Evolution .75HP has 3 stages and Quiet SoundSeal at 9 years; the Evolution 1.0HP has 4 stages and Quietest SoundSeal at 10 years. Both series use stainless steel grind components; the Badger 1 and 5 use galvanized steel. ### Do all InSinkErator disposals have a dishwasher connection? Every model on this page does, in one of two forms. The Badger 1, 5 and 5XP pages list a dishwasher drain connection as Yes. The Power and Evolution pages name an EZ Removable Dishwasher Inlet Plug, and the Evolution 1.0HP page says it is removed with the included wrenchette. The plug stays in place if no dishwasher drains into the unit. ### Is a Waste King disposal a drop-in swap for an InSinkErator? Not confirmed on this page. Waste King units are now listed under the Moen brand on Amazon, and neither maker's spec sheet was readable this session, so no Moen mount or dimension figure appears here. The Moen GT50C listing title states 1/2 HP, continuous feed and a power cord included. Compare the sink flange and mounting ring on both units before assuming they interchange. ## Sources - [InSinkErator, Garbage Disposal Comparison Chart](https://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/insinkerator-products/garbage-disposals/disposal-comparison-chart) (manufacturer or vendor document) - [InSinkErator, Badger 1 product page](https://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/shop/insinkerator/insinkerator-bgr-1) (manufacturer or vendor document) - [InSinkErator, Badger 5 product page](https://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/shop/insinkerator/insinkerator-bgr-5) (manufacturer or vendor document) - [InSinkErator, Badger 5XP product page](https://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/shop/insinkerator/insinkerator-bgr-5xp) (manufacturer or vendor document) - [InSinkErator, Power .75HP product page](https://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/shop/insinkerator/insinkerator-pwr-75hp) (manufacturer or vendor document) - [InSinkErator, Power 1.0HP product page](https://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/shop/insinkerator/insinkerator-pwr-1hp) (manufacturer or vendor document) - [InSinkErator, Evolution .75HP product page](https://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/shop/insinkerator/insinkerator-evolution-75hp) (manufacturer or vendor document) - [InSinkErator, Evolution 1.0HP product page](https://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/shop/insinkerator/insinkerator-evolution-1hp) (manufacturer or vendor document) - [InSinkErator, Evolution Septic Guard product page](https://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/shop/insinkerator/insinkerator-septicguard) (manufacturer or vendor document) - [InSinkErator, Evolution Cover Control product page](https://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/shop/insinkerator/insinkerator-evolution-cover-cntrl) (manufacturer or vendor document) - [InSinkErator, Garbage Disposals lineup page (EZ Connect wording)](https://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/insinkerator-products/garbage-disposals) (manufacturer or vendor document) - [InSinkErator, FAQ (warranty range by series)](https://www.insinkerator.com/en-us/kitchen-better/faq) (manufacturer or vendor document) - [Amazon listing, Moen Prep Series Disposer GT50C (title only)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N3BK1YR) (retailer listing or retailer-hosted document) --- Citation: OwnerSpec, "InSinkErator Disposal Model Cross-Reference: Badger, Power and Evolution by Horsepower, Grind Stages, Warranty, Mount and Cord", https://ownerspec.com/plumbing/parts/insinkerator-disposal-model-cross-reference/, facts verified 27 September 2026.
