Whether you're a plumber sourcing a reliable unit for a customer install or a homeowner tackling a kitchen upgrade, the garbage disposal decision often comes down to three things: horsepower, noise, and how hard you are on your sink. Plumbing Planet carries a focused lineup of five InSinkErator models that covers every end of the spectrum — from a no-frills budget workhorse to a premium quiet-grind unit with top-shelf features.
Here's a breakdown of what's in stock and what each model is built for.
The Budget-Friendly Picks: Badger 5 and Badger 1
If the job calls for a straightforward continuous feed disposal without a lot of bells and whistles, the Badger series is where to start.
The Insinkerator Badger 5 and the Insinkerator Badger 1 represent the entry point of the InSinkErator range. Both are continuous feed units — meaning they run while the water is on and food scraps are being added — making them practical for everyday kitchen use. These are solid installs for rentals, flips, or any situation where the budget matters more than premium performance.
Best for: First installs, rental properties, and budget-conscious replacements.
The Contractor's Go-To: Contractor 333
The Insinkerator Contractor 333 is a step up in both build quality and intended use. As the name suggests, this unit is designed with trade professionals in mind — the kind of disposal that gets specified repeatedly because it installs cleanly and holds up over time. It's also a continuous feed model, making it compatible with standard kitchen setups without any special switching requirements.
At the mid-range price point, the Contractor 333 hits a sweet spot for residential new construction or remodel work where a durable unit is expected without pushing into premium territory.
Best for: New construction, plumber-specified installs, and mid-range remodels.
The Upgrade Pick: PRO-750 Evolution
For kitchens where noise is a real concern — think open-plan layouts where the disposal can be heard from the living room — the InSinkErator PRO-750 Evolution is a significant step forward.
This unit runs a 3/4 HP Dura-Drive® induction motor paired with InSinkErator's SoundSeal Technology® to bring the noise level down considerably compared to basic models. It uses a 3-stage MultiGrind® system designed for tough and fibrous food scraps, with stainless steel grinding components throughout. The sink baffle is removable and dishwasher-safe for easy maintenance, and the EZ Connect system allows hookup to either a hardwire connection or standard outlet. It's also rated safe for properly maintained septic systems.
The PRO-750 carries a 10-year warranty and comes in at 13 x 9.25 x 13 inches — a compact footprint for what it delivers.
Best for: Open kitchens, noise-sensitive households, and customers who want performance without going to the absolute top tier.
The Premium Option: PRO Cover Control
The top of the lineup is the Insinkerator PRO Cover Control. This is InSinkErator's cover control model, meaning it activates via the sink stopper rather than a wall switch — a cleaner, more integrated look for high-end kitchen finishes. It's the disposal you'd recommend for a kitchen renovation where design matters as much as function.
At the top of the range, it's the investment model of the group, but it delivers a premium experience that matches premium kitchen builds.
Best for: High-end residential remodels, designer kitchens, and customers who want the full package.
