Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: 5 star average for a reason
Summary: 5 Stars
Easy as 1-2-3: This is the one to buy.
1. They say that the larger "Essential" model is 40% quieter vs. baseline whereas this is only 30% quieter. For what it's worth, this sucker is about 300% quieter than the ISE 333 beastie that it replaced. I have not regretted the 10% quietness I'm supposedly missing for so much as an instant.
2. Size-Wise, this thing is more than sufficient for usual household use. Critically (for me) its size is in line with the size of "prior generation" models, meaning that it matches the spaces (and pipe layouts) of whatever disposal you're likely replacing. It's small in the same way that today's Extra Value Meals are small: They're the same as last generation's large. :)
2. If you're replacing a previous generation InSinkErator (specifically, the 333, 555, or 555) you can re-use the existing mounting rings etc. This delightful suprise ended up turning an estimated 3 hour project into a 25 minute project. A rare example of things being EASIER than I planned going in.
Customer Review: I like it
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to replace a 17-year old 1/2 hp insinkerator with a broken shaft. I am very pleased with its powerful motor and quietness.
Two things caused me to only give it a four star; both are not related to the product itself. (1) The new unit did not come with the large diameter rubber washer that is supposed to go between the mounting fixture and the bottom of the sink. I have to re-use the one that came out of the old unit. The purpose of the washer is to provide padding so as to prevent damage to the sink when the three fixture bolts are tightened. I don't know why Insinkerator would skimp on something so inexpensive. (2) I did the installation myself. To raise the unit up so that the top is sufficiently up against the rubber opening, I had to use a scissor jack. The instruction manual should have included this as a suggestion.
Some complained about the need to do electical wiring. I do not find this to be a problem or a nuisance.
Overall, the new unit is excellent.
Customer Review: The BEST disposer out there, A+
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this disposer from Home Depot for about the same price Amazon has it. I decided to buy this because it wasn't a badger, and was a little more expensive then the badgers. I figured it's more money, soooo must be good. I don't know squat about disposers but do know the one in my new condo was old, LOOOOOUUUDDDD, and the whole damn sink shook when it ran.
The installation was simple thanks to the included instructions, everything fit like a glove... hoping its like that for everyone. After it was installed I let it run and let me tell you, it was literally music to my ears.
This disposer is extremely quiet compared to every other disposer I have ever seen, and used. My neighbor next door came over and asked me sarcastically, "Do you think you could have bought something louder", and laughed, he was amazed. I love it and would totally ... in fact HIGHLY suggest anyone looking for a new disposer to buy this one, you will NOT be disappointed.
Customer Review: So far so good
Summary: 5 Stars
It's been a while since I purchased this thing and I just got around to installing it last weekend. I had some old crappy disposer in there before so it took me a while to figure out how to get the old one out of there. Once, I was able to do that though, the instructions explained it pretty well. It took me about 30-45 minutes overall and I had never done anything like this before. I also had to trim the drain pipe to fit.
One thing worth noting is that I bought the Insinkerator brand power cable kit from Amazon as well. It took me a couple minutes to figure out which wire on the power cable was hot and which was neutral. But I'm a dude so of course the last thing I did was read the instructions. They aren't color coded so make sure you look at the instructions for the cable itself to figure out which one is which.
Got it working on the first try, no leaks. Runs like a champ and was a lot easier to install than I thought it would be.
Customer Review: Great USA made product!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought mine at Ace Hardware and paid $179. A little higher then most here paid but the guy spent 15 minutes explaining how to get the old out and the new in.
It's a great product. Super quiet and grinding all the food I put in it. Was very easy to install and I would say the instructions were pretty good. Much better then most. The electrical was an easy hook-up. A couple of wire nuts and it's done. Took me less then 45 minutes to remove the old and install the new one, can't ask for a simpler install. I did do it myself but an extra hand would have been helpful as it's heavy and hard to hold when you latch it back on. I really like the removable rubber flange. My last one was not removable.
I mentioned this before but super quiet, I can't believe how quiet.
Product is made in the USA and I like that. Money that says home is well spent.
