Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Quiet and powerful. What more could ask of a disposal?
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked up one of these quite a while ago. Like most of my honey-do projects, it took a very long time for me to install it. It replaced a Badger 5 disposal. When my wife came home, she turned on the disposal and reached over to turn it on again. She didn't hear it running. Yes, it is that quiet! We've thrown quite a bit of garbage at it and it just keeps running smoothly.
The bad news is that, two weeks after I finally installed it, we ended up signing a contract for a new house... So, today, I bought another one for our next house. We'll have the builder install it so we can enjoy it immediately!
It sounds strange to use the word enjoy in regards to a garbage disposal but it really is sweet.
Customer Review: As good as everyone says
Summary: 5 Stars
Just as good as the rest of the reviewers here said. Took about 2 hours to replace a 3-year-old Kenmore that had cracked and was leaking -- and extremely noisy. That included installing the plug-in cord accessory. It was easy because we had just had the last disposal professionally installed, so I didn't have to deal with the old copper connections and such in our 1970-built home. Very quiet operation -- just an electric hum, even when processing food. There was some loud rattling the first few times we turned it on, so I initially was disappointed, but that disappeared as the unit seemed to wear in to place.
Paid $169 at Home Depot. Now we can put things back under the sink again!
Customer Review: It works, but not as quiet as I thought it would be
Summary: 4 Stars
I just finished the install of this, took me about 2 hours. I was replacing a badger5, about 10 years old, and was pretty noisy. I had high hopes that this would be super silent, and my biggest disappointment is it's still pretty noisy.
The install instructions were pretty good. The power cord thing is really annoying, make sure you deal with this before you install (make sure you have it!) and buy some plumbers putty.
I am not a plumber, and it was a little nerve wracking to install, the wife is still questioning whether there are any leaks, but it seems ok.
Overall, it looks nice, works fine, but I was unimpressed with how much less quiet it was than the Badger 5.
Customer Review: Why this gets 5 stars!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The finest disposer I've owned so far...reasons for 5 stars - 1) stainless-steel grind components, 2) it really is MUCH quieter than "regular" disposers, 3) plenty of power- 3/4 hp, 4) Made in USA, 5) it looks nice compared to "other" disposers. I know appearance really isn't that important! However, it really does look nicer. 6) It has a 4 year in-home warranty. Do yourself a favor and don't be cheap when getting a disposer, insist on stainless steel. My old disposer was not and it was showing signs of some rot. You will probably be as amazed as I was at how quiet this thing is....This model is the smallest in the evolution line. I'm willing to bet the other larger models are just as great.Customer Review: Planned Obsolescence
Summary: 1 Stars
Five years after purchasing this, not only has the motor burned up, but the bottom is just about to rust through. I don't find this acceptable, as the previous (Kenmore) model lasted more than 20 years. And those 20 years were the years spent with 6-8 people in the house, now it is just two of us. I'm disappointed to say the least, and absolutely FED UP with planned obsolescence. Obviously IT IS (or was?) possible to make a disposal that lasted a lot longer. I'm delving through reviews right now trying to find a replacement that is quality, but most of the review relate to installation and sound. Perhaps this will be helpful to those of you not wanting to relive this process five years from now?
