If you have an older version of the badger 1, this is a straight fit.
Our last Badger 1 finally gave up the ghost after 11 years of reliable service; so I replaced it with the same model. As long as you don't abuse most disposal units - by throwing bones or spoons and whatnot down them - they should give years of trouble free service.
As it's a direct replacement, I didn't even bother to go through the hassle or removing the old sink flange and having to putty in a new one as the existing one was just fine. It took me about 5 minutes to replace old with new - that's why I didn't bother with a different make. I'm an average Joe who does a few things around the house - mostly accompanied by a lot of cussing - so anything that makes such work quick and simple results in less swearing - which is a good thing right?!
I hope this lasts as long as the last one and I'll be a happy chappie.
