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

Super easy to install, especially if you are replacing an InSinkErator product, since the sink flange and pipe sizes are identical, meaning that you won't need to spend time cutting and resizing your plumbing beneath the sink. The installation instructions are adequate, and there are lots of online videos that make it easy to walkthrough the process. I was replacing a 20yr old model, and it took about 10 minutes and only needed a screwdriver and a channel lock wrench to loosen my old pipes. The kit comes with the wrench you need to loosen the blades after install and to help you tighten the disposal onto the sink flange/collar. In fact, it was so easy that I decided that I might as well install the sink collar that came with the new one so that I would have a shiny new logo when looking into the sink. That process involved needing a putty knife to scrape away the old putty, and some fresh plumbers putty (I don't feel safe using the gasket since plumbers putty is so much better at filling gaps and making a water-tight seal). But if you don't have putty around, you can always use the gasket. The changes from my old one was that the electrical connection to the wire used to be wire nuts, but now involves pushing the wires into a connector, and then installing the connector into a slot. Also, the outlet pipe now has a rubber collar on it to isolate vibration. Both changes result in a safer, quieter product. I am impressed. I think you might be too. The only downside is that this product is proportionally more expensive than other brands. However, I invoke the "you get what you pay for" rule. Considering my last Insinkerator disposal lasted 20 years, the cost difference amortized over 20 years is irrelevant.

I’m very happy with this garbage disposal. It’s powerful, but surprisingly quiet compared to my old one. It handles food waste quickly and smoothly without making a lot of noise. Installation was also easier than I expected. I was able to install it myself without much trouble, which was a big plus. Overall, it feels solid, powerful, and well-made. I’m really pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet and powerful garbage disposal.

Heavier than the 0.75hp Moen EX75C unit that wore out. I felt every second of doing the install with my torn rotator cuff, but I managed. The unit does NOT come with a cable, but rather a socket to wire up a cable, so you can wire it directly to a switch, or install a cable of your own. If you're just going to install a plug cable, go with this. EZ Connect Power Cord for insinkeator Garbage Disposal 4-Foot Power Cord for EZ Connect Power and Advanced Series Continuous Feed Food Waste Disposer Models, Compatible with CRD-EZ It will make your life easier, and only costs a few bucks. Yes, it's more expensive than the other units out there. Buy once, cry once. It's a quieter than my previous unit. It is also larger and heavier. I would recommend this for anyone, whether for use in their own home, or a rental unit.

We needed a solid replacement for our 20-plus-year-old garbage disposal, and we chose this one for the extra power, quieter operation, and smoother grinding. At 1 HP, I expected it to be much louder, but this thing almost purrs compared to the loud grinding noise from our older model. With as much home cooking as we do, we put it to work right away, and it has handled everything well so far. Installation was surprisingly easy, especially considering this was the first garbage disposal I had ever installed. It came with everything I needed to get the job done, minus the basic tools, and it fit perfectly under our sink. The only adjustment I had to make was cutting a drain pipe so the disposal would drain properly toward the other sink drain. That part is worth paying close attention to in the instructions. Overall, I’m very pleased with the power, quiet operation, smooth grinding, and ease of installation.

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 purchased an InSinkErator disposal 23 years ago. It has worked flawlessly - not a moment of trouble. The reason I replaced it was because the drain port clogged and could not be cleared without damaging the unit. A 20+ year service life is unheard these days, so when I needed a new unit, I went with InSinkErator again. I didn't need customer reviews; I lived the review! I had some questions about replacing the old unit. InSinkErator has a Help Line, I called on a Saturday and the woman who answered really new the product line. I gave the model of the old unit and the one I was planning to purchase and asked if the installation parts were interchangeable. Turns out they are. That meant a real time savings on the install. Also spared my back. As for the unit itself, it is amazingly quiet. Everyone in the family has, at one time or another, commented on the lack of noise. I used a sink-mounted on/off button - it is a shorter reach than the wall switch I installed 23 years ago. One more point worth making: they have improved the installation method so that you do not have to bench press the unit. All you do is lift high enough for a hook to catch, you then swing it up into place and tighten the lock ring. Super easy! I am completely satisfied with this product, but even more so with the company!

This is a top-of-the-line disposal. It was easy to install, and we are very pleased with how quiet it is when running. A wise investment that should last many years.

My first InSinkErator lasted about 18 years and then cast iron base rusted out and started leaking. This new one does not have the cast iron base which makes it significantly lighter and (hopefully) more corrosion resistant. That said I've noticed that the new one is substantially louder than the old unit. Even when the dishwasher discharges into it, it is louder. I guess that is to be expected considering the mass is much less. It's not a deal killer, it still works great. I just assumed that after 18 years the new unit would be more quiet than the old ... which it is not. The install was simple, no complaints there. It is kind of silly that it doesn't come with a power cord. I just used the one off my old one. You will need to solder the leads if you are using flexible strand copper so that they can press into connections. It would be a lot more simple if they included Wago like wire connections for this application, but I guess they are trying to get you to buy their optional power cord.

I install garburators for customers all the time, the home owner had an old version of the insinkerator that lasted for about 10 years, pretty good considering how much crap goes down them, so I went with the upgraded version and it is perfect. It bolted right on to the old hardware, even though it came with new stuff. I bought the lug in adaptor kit extra to go to plug style since he had a gfi under the sink already. Easy wiring. Then only difference in the mounting of the unit was the drain office was about 1 inch shorter then the original one and the drain pipe was to short to be able to use the old drain, so I just had to cut it and add an extension on the abs. No big deal. Definitely the quietest model I have heard on the market today for that amount of hp. Just remember to keep the rubber dampening gaurd on to eliminate the noise coming back up from the unit. This model is now my go to for all clients willing to get the best.

Excelente y poderoso motor. Hace muy poco ruido. Lo estoy estrenando y me gustó.

Please do not buy this in Europe. This is not a model for European market. First of all you need to understand, that you will need to buy a specific parts sold separately to even get it to work. Second: The InSinkErator Evolution 1 HP garbage disposal is designed to operate exclusively on 120 volts at 60 Hz. It is not compatible with 220-volt systems.   Attempting to connect this 120V model to a 220V power supply can result in damage to the unit and poses significant safety risks. For regions with 220V electrical systems, InSinkErator offers models specifically designed for that voltage, such as the Model 46 and Evolution 100.  It’s advisable to purchase your InSinkErator product from an authorized retailer in your country to ensure compatibility with local electrical standards and to validate the warranty. 

I wouldn't say this is whisper quite but it is certainly much quieter than the previous unit. Easy install and included wire harness made the job painless.
