Meet the Power Series: modern muscle with everyday manners
InSinkErator’s Power Series steps in where the old “900-class” models left off, combining higher-torque motors with refined noise control and premium build quality. If Badger is the rugged workhorse and Evolution is the ultra-quiet flagship, Power is the sweet spot—more punch and polish than Badger, at a better price than Evolution.
Heads up: models like the Badger 900 were discontinued/repositioned and their role effectively absorbed by the Power family. That’s why Power feels instantly familiar—only stronger, smoother, and smarter.

Power vs Evolution vs Badger (the quick take)
Power vs Badger: step-up torque, better grind, and noticeably quieter. If your Badger was “good enough” but you want fewer stalls and less noise, Power is the no-brainer upgrade.
Power vs Evolution: Evolution stays king for ultra-quiet and multi-stage grind across the range. Power gets very close on performance at a friendlier price. If you cook a lot but don’t need the absolute quietest, Power 750/1000 hits the value bullseye.
Bottom line: Badger = budget tough, Power = performance value, Evolution = premium quiet.
Noise & performance you can live with
Even the entry Power 500 trims the clatter with SoundSeal Lite. Step to 750 or 1000 and you’ll hear (and feel) the difference in start-up smoothness, vibration control, and fine-particle grind—great for frequent cooks who don’t want disposal noise dominating the kitchen.
Installation & compatibility
- Mount: Quick Lock® twist-on—drops right into most existing InSinkErator rings.
- Dishwasher: side inlet ready. See our Dishwasher Connector Kit micro-guide.
- Powering: choose hard-wire or cord. See Power Cord Kit.
- Sink baffle: upgrade for quieter splash control: Sink Baffle / Stopper.
Who the Power Series is perfect for
- Busy households cooking most nights and dealing with varied scraps.
- Remodels where you want a noticeable upgrade from Badger without going full Evolution.
- Noise-aware kitchens where conversation matters, but absolute silence isn’t required.
Recommended picks (fast guidance)
- Best value overall: Power 750 — balanced torque, quieter bowl, friendly price.
- Step-up performance: Power 1000 — 1 HP with advanced noise control for heavy use.
- Solid mid-range: Power 500 — great first upgrade from older Badger units.

FAQs — Power Series
What replaced the “Badger 900” style models?
The Power lineup effectively absorbs the old “900-class” role—higher torque, better noise control, and broader feature coverage than legacy units.
Is Power quiet enough for open-plan kitchens?
Yes, for most households. If you want the quietest possible experience, Evolution still wins—but Power 750/1000 gets very close for less money.
Can I install Power where a Badger was?
In most cases, yes. The Quick Lock® mount keeps swaps simple. Check clearances and electrical before you start; add the Power Cord Kit if you prefer a plug-in.
Which Power model should I choose?
Power 3/4 HP for solid upgrades, 1 HP for the best value blend of power and quiet, Pro 1000 for peak performance and the longest warranty.
