InSinkErator EVOLUTION 1HP 1 HP, Advanced Series Continuous Feed Food Waste Garbage Disposal, Gray

In-Sink Erator is one of the best garbage disposals on the market. It is quiet when comparted to other brands, fits perfectly under a 30" sink base, functions wells, looks good and was easy for my contractor to install.

This disposal works great! It was easy to install (make sure you have plumbers putty!), the old one was easy to remove, and this new one is much quieter and more efficient than the contractor grade one I was replacing. It was a bit spendy but so far it seems to be worth the extra cost.

This is the best garbage disposal on the market except for 1 flaw. Install could be easy except for adding the "new electrical plug" to your disposal wiring. Instead of using wire caps to easily screw on, they now have a AC plug you must install. It is very difficult with the thick copper wires to bend the wires so the plug can connect to the inside terminals on the disposal. I gave it a 5 stars besides this difficult plug installation. It is very quite and powerful.

The evolution seems to be a large improvement of the longer, earlier models, in several areas. It definitely provides a finer ground, and seems to be better insulated. That does add weight, but it muffles sound far more than earlier disposals, and seems to run smoother. The added weight also may be the reason it 'moves' less. The quieter use means I can use it when people are sleeping and not be concerned about waking them up. If you have older pipes, or any sort of questionable septic situation, this model is a must over others due to the several stage grinding. It basically eliminates any issues this could bring up. While it won't remove any issues due to misuse (you still can't put grease or meat down these, no matter what people say), it won't cause any issues.One observation is that the motor, likely due to it's power, takes a second or two longer than its predecessors to spin down. Its a little heavy; holding or carrying it might not seem like it, but when you have to lift it in a small cabinet and hold it up, it suddenly can become a little cumbersome. This weight is unavoidable considering the entire thing is a giant grinding motor. You can install it yourself, but it's best to bring a friend. I still feel after installing several of these the twist on flange is unintuitive and the instructions are a little unclear for new users.While a lot of people may prefer the new cable 'plug' setup as it is easier to use, the added cost I would have rather wired it the old way myself, since it added an additional I believe $10 to the cable cost. This isn't a deal breaker, just a frustration. They may have found in testing and support that the cable situation too confusing for people, but I don't know how, as it was color coded.Regardless, Five out of five stars, I would purchase again and strongly recommend.

I replaced an InSinkErator 1 HP disposal that had something weird happen so that every once in a while it sounded like the "impellors" were hitting each other inside.Anyway I think this was the closest replacement of a similar item. I didn't need to purchase any additional attachments - it hooked up to my dishwasher drain hose just fine. I used the external cord connector to wire up the old wire from my old unit which I think they designed for "direct wire" connections, but my cord worked great in it.Replacement was straight forward and I decided to replace the sink attachment even though I didn't have to. That required a small amount of Plumbers' Putty which was not supplied.The box bragged about this being the quietest unit InSinkErator sells. Frankly it is just a little quieter than my old unit and that's mostly because the rubber gasket at the top of the unit is almost closed, making it more difficult to get food scraps into the disposer, but it keeps the noise down. Frankly that gasket even makes the water flow slower into the unit so it tends to drain your sink slower, especially soap suds - all to cut down on noise.It says it can grind just about anything you can shove into it - like even small bones - but I've just done the usual vegetable waste and coffee grounds, and it works just as it should for that.

Great product! It was so easy for my contractor to install! Works perfectly; SO quiet! I thought the 1 HP might be more than I needed, but am so glad I chose this model. Much better for the septic system. Plus the water drain gasket in the sink is removable - so I can easily replace instead of fighting to clean it like the old kind that did not come out. So much more hygienic!

I needed to replace my old garbage disposal and finally decided to purchase this InSinkErator Evolution. It came with all the parts and tools needed to install. I don’t have any experience in replacing a garbage disposal but it came with clear instructions and I was able to replace it in about 1.5 hours. Looks very sleek, great build quality and powerful. It’s very quiet when in operations. I didn’t think it would be as quiet as it is. Very glad I purchased this.
