Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Quietest disposal I've ever heard!
Summary: 5 Stars
As part of a kitchen remodel we added a disposal, and I chose the Insinkerator Evolution Spacesaver model.
Installation was a breeze! Quick and clean. And this is truly the quietest disposal I have ever heard. I thought something was wrong with it at first because it didn't sound like it was working. Just a barely audible humming. But that was it! Once you throw some scraps in it you can hear it grinding a llittle bit, but the motor is super-quiet.
Uber-impressed with it.
We've only had it for about a week now, so I can't comment on longevity issues, but I certainly hope that we keep it for a good long while. It's everything we wanted.
Customer Review: Very good quality, easy to install
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed to replace a very old and leaking Badger 1 disposal. I thought that buying this higher quality unit would last longer than the Badger 5 I was also considering. I was impressed with the quality of the Evolution unit and the stainless steel blades. The installation instructions were very good. I also recommend watching several DIY disposal instruction videos available on Youtube (not created by Insinkerator) that should help make the installation go very smoothly. My old Badger 1 sounded like a stump grinder compared to the Evolution. It's so quiet it's unbelievable!!
Also, all InSinkErator disposals are made in the USA!!
Customer Review: New Insinkerator
Summary: 5 Stars
We replaced an Insinkerator Badger with the Compact Evolution. I did the installation myself. Lots of rust right below the sink on the old unit made removing it difficult. I had to get a hacksaw to cut through one of the screws. I then had access to the snap ring and got the old one off. Installing the new unit was much easier than getting the old one off. No leaks. Use plenty of plumbers' putty.
Operation is much quieter than the old one. Seriously, much quieter. We did have to press the reset button once already in the first month, but it's easily accessible. No other problems. Seems to be a big step up from what we had.
Customer Review: very easy to install. Very Quiet
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a salesman.. not a plumber.. but I was still able to install this unit from scratch! I'm quite proud of myself!
I did need to buy a couple of plubing supplies.. a couple of bits of pvc pipe a coupling or two and a tub of plumbers putty, but they were all inexpensive and easy to find.
The unit is very quiet and hasn't choked yet so all in all I couldn't be happier.
If the company wanted to make it a little bit more userfriendly they could include a little tube of putty to help seal the drain.. it's not something most homeowners are going to have on hand or are likely to ever need again..
Customer Review: Quiet, easy to install, looks to be a nice unit
Summary: 5 Stars
My old ISE with 1/3 hp started leaking after 12 years, I decided to replace it with this fancy unit. It claimed to be quiet, has more hp (which I don't really care as I don't dump everything down the sink and grind them up). The installation was pretty straight forward, almost a direct replacement. If I didn't have to replace the sink drain flange, it would have taken me less than 15 minutes.
Pros: quiet operation (provided that you use the supplied rubber baffle), relatively compact design, baffle can be taken out to clean without removing the ISE from the sink
Cons: none so far, only time will tell.
