We had the Badger 1/2 HP and it clogged often. I replaced it with a 1 HP Waste King 8000 from Legend for about $115 including cord and free shipping. Larger than the Badger 1/2 HP but it fit and had same type of connection. Biggest problem was the final fit up of the attaching ring as described in original post. I used phonebooks (and we sure get enough) to get it positioned and for the final adjustment used to small wooden wedges that I got from Home Depot for small $.

I call this unit "The Beast" . Nothing has slowed this unit down.
