Such great advice. I’m on the younger side of Gen X (born in 1979) and also recently lost my job. It’s the first time I’ve been out of the workforce since I was 22. It felt like the worst day of my life, but I’ve come to realize the opportunity to get my life really dialed in and to live minimally. If anyone else is in this position, keep your head up!!! Making finding a job your new job will pay off!!!!
Hi there - Thanks for the retro view :) - personally I never ask people to like and subscribe. For me it's up to the individual viewer to decide if he/she wants to do that or not. It just seems cheesy and weird for me to ask for that time and time again. Nice content though :)
Wow, I've never seen the Sub Chase game before, but certainly played the heck out of the football game back in the day. I can't help but wonder if these are good candidates for recreation in Pico-8 so they can be updated/remixed for modern retro handhelds.🤔 You've given me some old, but new fresh ideas... 😁
You got 10 years of life?? You did well given my experience with Insinkerators (they are garbage these days). I will never buy their products again but its hard to know if the alternatives will be any better.
You can get better units witch stainless grinding chambers and blades but you are going to have to pay around 300-400 for those. They will last around 20 years.
We replaced ours with 15-20 years ago. It's marked premier one. Other than some staining on the plate, and the overall noise getting louder, it still looks cosmetically like the day we installed it. Whether they market it or not the better lines seem to have better parts. The one we replaced looked like the one you pulled out and had rusted in place.
I had a badger 5 with hole in the chamber wall about the size of a quarter, plus the motor was locked up, probably from the rusted turntable leaking water down the shaft. Replaced it with another badger 5 a few years back when this took place. Now I'll have to go inspect it a preventative, disposal is in a rental property. My current home had a badger 5, worked for about 15yrs until it didn't, bought a waste king to replace it in Oct of '18, coming up on anniversary of 6 years in service.
It is a galvanized base. Have you used caustics like drain cleaner> If you have you removed the zinc and exposed the mild steel under the galvanization. Drain cleaners and such will do so. If you move to the evolution series you get a stainless base plate. But once again do not use caustics on it unless you follow them with an acid. If ya don't you remove the passivation and the plate can corrode. !0 years out of a Badger 5 is actually pretty good. It is a cheap entry level unit.
Why does every amateur You Tuber insist on putting in an intro that has nothing to do with the subject at all? Why make us sit through this nonsense? Its not entertaining and serves no purpose while forcing us to guess where the beginning of the real info starts. We come here for information, not a TV show or movie. Get to the point and move on and your channel will rise in success.
Thanks for that feedback. I have a new set of videos coming in a few weeks with a much shorter intro. I really appreciate hearing from folks like you with such honest comments.
Badger is/was the cheap contractor grade machine. I have an Insinkerator 777ss that has been in daily service for 16 years now. More expensive, but you get what you pay for.
I don't care what the font is, back in the day the only font we knew was the font on the typewriter, and the rich folk would get a newspaper and were more concerned about the news than the font used. The stupid things folks lose sleep over always amazes me.
Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun. Dogs are let out on shady side of my castle to potty, we walk in the early morning. Never water my grass as my well water is 180F instead use it to heat my castle in winter.
Knowing this you should just reverse-scam them. Grind up some rocks to get it nice and scratched. Mix a half a cup of vinegar with salt water. Let it sit over night. The whole thing will rust out in your warranty period. Then insinkerator pays. Like you said, you can replace it in 30 min.
The Badger disposers have always been like this for a very long time. I always have to replace them in every house I lived in. My parent's house, built in the late 80s or early 90s, had this exact problem. My own house came with it too and I had to replace it as well. They both had turntables that became a spinning useless rust chunk. Basically, these are builder grade units. In both homes, I replace them with Waste King disposers and they work fine for years. The problem is that basic disposers have galvanized steel turntables instead of a fully stainless steel grind chamber. I always make sure that the disposer has fully stainless steel grind chambers. Home kitchen sink drains and disposer mounts are pretty much standardized around the 3-bolt mount. You might need to rework the drain pipes to fit the new disposer.
You get what you pay for. Cheap parts with short warranties. Im a self employed remodeler. ive changed a hundred disposals in 20 years. They ALWAYS fail eventually. Never use hot water when running the disposal. It will fail faster. Ditch the disposal your just cloggin up the sewer system with food waste. Its unnecessary in the scheme of things. I knew someone that shoved so many potato peels down the garbage disposal they clogged the sewer pipe over 80ft down the line and it had to be snaked to 100ft to clear it. Ridiculous. Throw food waste in the trash or compost! I have septic so dont have one nor would I if i didnt have septic.
I've given up on waste disposers. They're just scummy, noisy devices that jam up or just have random, erratic, and startling behavior like flipping it on after a piece of silverware slips down into them. Almost causes a heart attack. No, I just use a drain strainer to catch all the biodegradable debris, and toss it into a countertop compost bin.
I just had to have replaced my 2004 vintage LiftMaster garage door opener. The guy said I was lucky I got 20 years out of it, he said they normally croak at 10 years. He blamed the circuit board inside of them, it just eventually gets baked, and the whole unit is just junk.
I moved from insikerator to Waste King and never looked back. All Stainless Steel construction and don't even come with a wrench because they are so powerful.
10 years for a badger 5 is fantastic. Most of them fail within 5 years. They make the cheap models with galvanized steel instead of stainless, so that you will buy one of their premium models. You can't expect top quality from the cheapest model. Even if the badger 5 had stainless steel internals, the motor could still fail. I have replaced several because of motor failure.
You run it for 15 seconds at a time, once every few days... 10 years is *nothing*. He's got a good point. This is engineered to fail. It's literally planned obsolescence, put critical iron plate in water that can't be serviced. Kinda funny scam actually.
FYI quick review of their website the badger line uses galvanized steel grind components bumping up to their power or evolution series you get stainless steel grind components

That’s y they won’t change b/c of what u said they’re the best n ur not going to buy their competition so y would they change? Exactly!
we had a disposal break right when we moved into this house, the plumber installed an insinkurator, 3 years later that broke. something broke loose inside of it so the entire masserator assembly popped up and started to jam, i've yet to take it appart but maybe i should. we then got the 1hp top of the line version of the insinurator, unknowing that the disposal that broke was also an insikurator, i would NOT have bought that one if i had known that, and i'm half expecting this one to break within 4 years, but hopefully it lasts longer.
Lmao... only 10yrs of service They don't make things like they used to... Better idea stay away from disposals and use your strainer stop allowing food down your sinks
