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

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.

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.

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.

The only downside is that the unit takes up slightly more space than the low end models, but that soundproofing insulation it is definitely worth it. I am moderately handy and the disposer was relatively simple to install. The big box stores' price was $20-$30 higher and they charge $180-$280 for someone to install it. Contrary to what one review said, this disposer makes very little sound. The guy who claims it's loud probably has the sink poorly attached to the counter and the mounting hardware between the sink and unit not properly tightened. That rattling can amplify vibrations greatly. Ours just has a gentle purr, and my wife LOVES that! As for all those 1 star reviews based on not having a power cable included, some people just didn't take time to read the details. This disposer is heavy duty and comes with the required hardware to install hardwired in new construction. It is the kind of quality you would expect to find in a new custom home. That being said, if you are upgrading from a basic model that plugs in and simply want to plug the new unit into an outlet rather than hard wiring it, you can do so by purchasing the standard 3-prong power cord. Think of it this way, if the company included that power cord with each unit, the price would be $20 higher and the majority of buyers would be throwing away a perfectly good proprietary cord and wasting copper, which is a semi-precious natural resource. So, it is a good thing that you can purchase the cord as an option, and get the unit by itself at a lower price. It pays to read details before you make your purchase.

I bought this as a replacement; same brand that was installed sometime during the Eisenhower administration. Even though I’m a complete klutz, I was hoping to try and swap it out myself, but the guy who put in the old one had jerryrigged it somehow, plus with rust, I quickly reached my limit and hired a guy. It is amazingly quiet, powerful… But it only worked for about two weeks. Hit the button, nothing happens. Called the guy back out, he looked at it and said it’s a problem with the disposal. No way. Brand new? Here’s the good part though… I reached out to the company, and the disposal people sent a guy out with a new one and replaced it. No charge. Dear Lord. Can customer service get any better than that? Big thumbs up.

Quiet, very minimal vibration, powerful/fast dispatch of food waste. Opening protection is made of strong rubber, preventing accidental flatware loss
