Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Why I Chose This Model Over the WasteKing
Summary: 5 Stars
I was debating whether to get this model or the comparable 3/4 horsepower WasteKing version. I chose this one for the following reasons:
- Consumer Reports magazine ranked the Evolution Compact as being a quieter unit. Quietness is one of the things I care most about in a disposal. I think any 3/4 horsepower unit will do a great job in an average household kitchen, so in the end quietness and build quality are what separate the units. Based on my actual usage of the product (purchased it recently) I am surprised how much quieter it is than the Insinkerator Badger 1 it replaced. I'd say it's about 50%-60% quieter. Its sounds like how the Badger 1 sounds when it's jammed and you turn it on -- just a hum. I am VERY satisfied on that front.
- The WasteKing has a higher rotation speed but the grinding mechanics of the Evolution Compact seemed to make up for it based on my reading of the on-line product documentation. It's as if the WasteKing has to make up for the less advanced grinding technology with higher speed in order to win the "specs" battle.
- The WasteKing does not have a hole in the bottom for you to put a wrench into to loosen jams. Their sales documentation says you don't need one because the motor is so powerful it will not jam -- whatever. If that is the case then why does the product's user guide instruct you to stick a broom stick in the disposal and twirl it around if it ever gets jammed??? I think not having a wrench hole is a way to keep the price low. And saying the unit is so powerful you don't need a wrench hole is a way for their marketing department to hide the product weaknesses and push units. Stuff like this let's you know that WasteKing has cut corners to get the price so low.
- Based on reading the on-line product documentation, visiting the manufacturer Web sites, and reading user comments I concluded, in my opinion, that the Insinkerator was a higher quality product -- even with the shorter warranty. Yes, the comparable WasteKing model has an 8-year warranty and has a higher rotation speed, but that doesn't mean it's better built. Honda's are know to have some of the shortest warranties in the auto biz, but their brand is consistently ranked among the highest for long-term quality.
- The WasteKing just looked cheap. I read some of the WasteKing comments and some of them mentioned it being made of cheap plastic. The Evolution Compact looks like, and after installing it in my kitchen I can also say, feels and sounds like a quality product.
- Insinkerator has a 4-year come to your home warranty where they'll send someone to fix it. To me that has more weight than a 8 year warranty that I will likely not be able to take advantage of when I move in 5 years or so.
- I often find that you get what you pay for. The WasteKing being so much cheaper kind of worried me.
All in all I am very happy with my purchase. BTW: If you buy this unit and have a dishwasher, don't forget step 16 when installing it! You have to knock out the drain plug and remove it from inside the disposer. I forgot to do it and so my dishwasher didn't function properly. After uninstalling the product and following step 16 all was well. Also, be sure when you install it to make sure all three of those metal install tabs/points are firmly secure.

, Wallet-Friendly Choice
The Evolution Compact food waste disposer is a practical and environmentally responsible way to help reduce the 31 million tons of solid waste generated from food scraps in the U.S. each year.
Instead of throwing this food waste away, grinding it with the Evolution Compact sends it to your local municipal wastewater treatment plant, where it can be recycled to produce methane, a renewable source of power for the plant. Additionally, wastewater treatment plants can process food waste into biosolids to be used as fertilizer (check the plant in your area).
Food waste disposers average less than 50 cents a year in electricity to operate and account for less than one percent of a household's total water consumption. In fact, the Evolution Compact features an average water usage of one gallon per person per day and an average electrical usage of three to four kilowatt hours per year, making it among the least expensive installed kitchen appliances.
