Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Easy to install and works great
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this disposal to replace a dead one. I decided to replace it myself which scared my wife. I'm please to say that it was fairly easy. I was able to remove the old and install the new disposal in under 2 hours. The step-by-step instructions included with the disposal are very straight forward and come with detailed pictures. The disposal does not come with a power cord, but I was able to reuse my old power cord. If this is not an option I suggest purchasing the InSinkErator CRD-00 Power Cord Kit (around 8 bucks). I bought this being unsure about the old power cord. Some of the spare parts that came with the kit ended up being very useful so it was worth the 8 bucks. My wife is very please with what little noise it makes and I am happy I didn't have to pay a plumber.
Customer Review: Very quiet, easy install.
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed/wanted a more compact disposer and didn't want the noise of the cheaper models. I chose this unit based on reputation and reviews. I sure wasn't let down! I mounted the Evolution to a 9" deep undermounted 16-gauge stainless sink. The hookup was not difficult: If you can do basic plumbing, you should have no issues with this.
The unit works fine and is amazingly quiet. I can stand at the sink with the water going and the disposal on while talking on the phone and the person on the other end can't even tell it's on. The sink does help keep the noise down as it's very well insulated.
I would certainly recommend this unit.
I did purchase the unit from Amazon: It arrived in good time, in good shape and best of all, for free! I love Amazon :)
Customer Review: I did it myself !
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading numerous posts about garbage disposals, this is the one I picked. So far, I am glad I did. It was easy to install and it really is as quiet as people have claimed. I would not say I can't hear it going, but, yes, it is very quiet. One thing no one mentioned. The connection from the disposal to the waste tubing is different from older units. Instead on screwing on, it has a piece of PVC which fits into a rubber sleeve and is held on by a metal ring which compresses when squeezed and fits snug. What they means is that you can't unscrew the old PVC and re-connect. I had to go and buy additional parts to connect to my drain system. Not hard, but it entailed a trip to the hardware store. If your old system was screwed to the waste piping, expect to do the same.Customer Review: Easy install, superb product.

This was an easy install for those with moderate skills and the ability to follow directions. You should feel comfortable with doing electrical work (however, not a lot of skill required). The plug (which should have been included) was sold separately. I salvaged the cord and plug from my old disposal unit, first making sure that it was compatible with the larger amperage required for the new garbage disposal.
The machine is well baffled and its operation is relatively silent. The 4 year in house repair (parts and labor) sounds excellent. I doubt that with the quality of the product that that will be necessary.
I did a slow but full quality install plus removed the old Whirlpool garbage disposal in about one hour start to finish.
Customer Review: Company honors warranty
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought an InSinkErator model 444 in 2004. It had a 4-year warranty. After 3.5 years it stopped working due to an electrical problem. We called the company service number and they sent a repairman out within three days. He replaced that unit with an Evolution Compact which has worked perfectly ever since. I was impressed with the efficiency and honesty of the company. They were very polite and never tried to give us a runaround or close questioning, etc. With some research I discovered that the model 444 was problem-prone, mainly due to leakage, which ours never experienced, but the Compact Evolution seems to be trouble-free and gets high ratings everywhere. I am mainly impressed with the customer service and integrity of the company.
