InSinkErator EVOLUTION 0.75HP 3/4 HP, Advanced Series EZ Connect Continuous Feed Food Waste Garbage Disposal, Gray

I've been using Insinkerator disposals for decades. I recently purchased this one after the Badger unit that was present since my arrival at my current location, which was installed in 2008, began leaking (although I have owned their higher end units previously and had been considering an upgrade for some time). Particularly if you find it on sale, this upgrade is more than worth the splurge whenever you do change. Its operation is almost silent, it works great, and the feature I like most is the removable/replaceable rubber sink baffle, which can be easily cleaned in the sink or dishwasher. The Badger's is not removable and you have to clean the underside of the baffle flap by flap with a brush. This unit additionally has 3 stage grinding and a new style easy install cord (or direct wire connection if that's what you need). Despite its additional insulation, it's about the same size as the Badger and everything lined up perfectly, no changing or cutting of pipes required. The Badger is certainly a reasonable moderate price unit and the one I had, to its credit, hung in there for a long while. But this is just so much more elegant for really not that big a price difference to not at least consider.

Easy to install. Works as described. For a garbage disposal, it is quiet. Understand most garbage disposal are going to make some vibrational noise. Nice that it's an American made product. Negatives: the electric cord and hose adapter is separate than the purchase. They need to have this as a "kit" with the garbage disposal if one is not a Plummer but a DIYer as I am.

Back story is I learned the hard way not to scrimp on a disposer - we had a rental house some yrs ago that had an old badger 1/3 hp that I never gave much thought - previous 20+ yrs was with disposers in rural Maine so just having one was a new experience. I don’t realize its limitations and got it jammed. After unjamming and spinning freely by hand, it still refused to run. So I replaced it with the next bigger 1/2hp. I was surprised at just how much better it worked. Then when we bought a house, it already had a 3/4 hp disposer of a different brand but still was a beast munching easily on chicken bones and all types of fruit and vegetable peels. Now convinced a good 3/4 hp is worth the extra expense. Fast forward a decade and we’re buying a new house. Asked builder to upgrade the disposer and I’d pay the difference. Unfortunately they buy in bulk so no choices on appliances. Ok, no biggie, I’ll upgrade myself - been there done that, can do it again!. Been here two weeks and definitely not thrilled worrying about every thing I drop into the disposer. The 1/3 hp moen is only fractionally better than the 1/3 hp badger since it runs at a higher rpm. Anyway, started my research and settled on a ISE 2 stage 3/4 hp as best bang for the buck - Costco had best price but it looks like a custom for Costco model, discharge is an inch or so lower and we got a straight shot so wanted a more compact model so discharge would line up better with existing. Best price was Amazon or Lowe’s for the 3/4 hp Advanced or Compact - both 2 stage. But figured to wait for the holiday sales. Sure enough Amazon posted the Evolution 3/4 hp for a good savings or actually about a break even when adding the stupid ez connect plug since it only comes with the hardwire connector. A shameful ploy by ISE marketing to squeeze out an extra bit of profit on these units. Anyway, 2 hrs or so to remove existing moen and install the new evolution, including the 5 mi trip to HD to get the cord. The marketing literature for the moen says it uses the same 3 bolt ez twist lock so I didn’t remove the sink collar. The only hassle was when trying to remove the lock ring, the whole collar assembly would turn, so I had to pry the lock ring against the bulge on the collar where the jack screws connect. Enough prying got the old moen to finally release. The plumbing is pretty new so I just removed the dishwasher hose, loosened up the discharge piping, removed the discharge nozzle flange bolts from the moen, and turned the other side sink trap a bit so the connecting tee would allow clearance for pulling off the discharge nozzle. The old unit simply slid off now. When I got the new unit locked into the collar, I just slid pipe nozzle back into the tee, turned the piping back to align, and bolted the flange onto the new disposer, then snugged up the drain pipe fitting at the tee. The disposer hose fitting was the same size so just removed the evolution’s sealing plug, pushed the rubber connector onto the fitting and tightened up the hose clamp. All seems fine. Filled sink with water and no apparent leaks. Initial runs have been smooth and exceptionally quiet. It feel robust, even with the outer plastic shell. It’s a bit lighter than I expected which made it that much easier to install. At 70, I’m not as strong or as flexible anymore so it was very pleasing to find it was easy to handle. So far I’m really happy with it. Obviously, time will tell how well it holds up. But I’m expecting it will outlive me!

This unit replaced an older Insinkerator Badger 1.0 HP unit, which had gotten very rusty inside (age unknown); one selling point on Insinkerators is that they are easy to install as replacements for previous Insinkerator units; it was true, as the plumbing all lined up perfectly. Installation was relatively quick, as it was the first I'd ever installed. Removal of the old unit posed a few learning experiences, but was easy in hindsight. Once installed, the new unit was tested; it is MUCH quieter than the old unit, and thus far has operated perfectly; it easily ground all leftovers fed to it. Ensure you purchase the appropriate power cable for your installation; it simplified the electrical connection, and makes it easy to use as it plugs into a remotely activated switch on my countertop. I highly recommend this unit, even if a 3/4 HP unit...it seems powerful enough for any task I would have for it!

I recently installed this new garbage disposal, replacing an 8-year-old builder-installed Badger unit. The installation was straightforward, with everything lining up perfectly, including the drain pipes and sink mount. However, be aware that you need to purchase a power cord separately, which is a bit of a downside since it could easily be included for a slight price increase. In terms of performance, the disposal is powerful, but it’s not as quiet as I anticipated. I upgraded from a 1/3 HP unit to this 3/4 HP model, and the noise level is quite similar. Perhaps a less advanced unit would have been louder, but if it lasts as long as its predecessor, which was less powerful, I’ll be satisfied. Overall, it’s a great product with minor installation and noise level drawbacks.

I consider the InSinkErator Evolution series the best of the best. When our old InSinkErator 1/2 HP "Badger disposal finally wore out, we upgraded to this new Advanced series, with 50% more power and fully insulated. It is very quiet and it will grind almost anything. Although, I try to throw any food into the trash and not put food into the disposal. At least, since I stopped up our plumbing, 30 years ago, while doing the dishes on Thanksgiving Day. It's the plumber's busiest day of the year. The manufacturer calls this "EZ Connect" and it really is. It has the famous InSinkErator twist and lock mounting bracket under the sink. And the power cord isn't the old style "pigtail" with 3 loose wires that have to be connected to screws on the underside of the disposer. This unit has as separate cord with a plastic push-in connector to attach it to the motor. It simply pushes in and snaps into place. No screwdrivers needed. It has some very thoughtful details to make it very consumer friendly. I love the power of this disposer, knowing that I won't clog the drain if some food does in there. And I enjoy the quietness of operation. I can talk to someone at the sink without having to shout when the disposer is running. Overall, I am very happy with this disposer, and would definitely buy it again, if I ever had the need. And I would highly recommend it to family and friends.

We had the inSinkErator EVOLUTION installed as a replacement, along with a new sink and dishwasher by a plumber. We probably could have done it ourselves, but we are not young and didn't want to have to crawl under the sink to do it. The plumber said it was a good one and had no issues installing it. It has worked great since the installation. It is pretty quiet. We are very happy with it.

I am not a plumber, but understand that when using rubber gaskets, please use petroleum jelly. You will thank me later. This was a simple install, no leaks and works as intended. Don't know how well it will hold up as I only had it for a short time but it seems pretty solid. My only complaint would be the instructions stunk. Good thing everything was pretty simple. I guess it's quiet, it's hard to tell as the old unit replaced was allot weaker in HP. I would get one of these again.

The device burned out (emitting heavy smoke) after 12 months of use

Prodotto realizzato negli Stati Uniti e conforme a quel Paese in termini di voltaggio del motore elettrico, standard degli attacco idraulici età. Totalmente inutilizzabile in Italia e in Europa in genere Da chiedersi perché Amazon lo abbia in vendita in Italia..... Restituito al venditore (di Las Vegas....) e prontamente rimborsato direttamente da Amazon in virtù della "Garanzia A-Z"

Easy to install. It's also super quiet!

Funciona perfecto aunque es más voluminoso que la versión anterior.

I bought my machine through Amazon and got it shipped to Dubai, but the machine ONLY operates with 110 volt electric current while all countries, except USA, run 220 volts. I connected the machine without knowing and it got toasted without being warned nor notified. Such companies who wish to sell only in USA should not allow their equipment to be shipped abroad because I will never waste more money on InSinkerator after what I have lost already.
