Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Evolution Essential 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Not fantastic
Summary: 3 Stars
I am not as enthralled with this disposer as everyone else seems to be. Yes, it's quiet if you have the black-thingy in the drain, but big deal. The main thing I want in a garbage disposal is for it to grind the food efficiently. I replaced a 10-year-old Insinkerator Pro 333 3/4 horsepower which was absolutely wonderful. Although not especially loud, you could tell by the sound when the food was ground up - and it was ground up in seconds. The Evolution Essential takes about three times as long, and I am always removing the black-thingy to peek inside to see if it is finished. It seldom is. Plus, the black-thingy keeps water from draining quickly, so if you pour a big pot of boiling spaghetti-water into a collander, you get a sink-full of boiling water and a steam burn. I miss my Pro 333.Customer Review: Straightforward installation, good directions, runs smooth as butta
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading some reviews and getting a deal on one, I installed this over a couple of hours last week with no major issues. I was a little concerned at first because it was so much bigger than the one it was replacing. Everything was detailed out very well in the directions that came with it. A+ for the directions. The only customization I had to do was trim down an existing piece of PVC pipe and refit it under my sink. Trust me, this part only took about 5 minutes to do. These are very easy and straightforward to install.
The InSinkErator itself works like a champ. It runs very quiet and smoot. Hardly know it's on at all. Definitely worth the investment and don't let the install scare you. The directions hold your hand right through it.
Customer Review: Sooo quiet.
Summary: 5 Stars
Replaced a Badger 1 with the Essential Evolution and am amazed at how quiet it is. There is absolutely no vibration while it was working. The chamber is so much larger than the old one. I like that you can remove the baffle to clean it and actually be able to clean inside the stainless steel chamber too. It is quite a bit wider than the old one but most of the difference in size is at the top so it doesn't take up extra usable space. At least not under my sink. My husband installed it and said it was easy to put in. The electric cord is not supplied so he used the one from the old (3-year) disposer. You may have to get a cord if you're not hard wiring the disposer. After one week of intense use, I think it's great.Customer Review: Quiet plus easy install
Summary: 5 Stars
Installed this a week ago, and love this one way more than the 20-year-old 3/4HP In-sink-erator that died. MDH insists we need a backup alarm of sorts to let us know it is still running. Really! We have never ground up bones or fruit rinds, just residue from dishwasher & sink. Used ice cubes as a test and worked really well.
Installation was a breeze, once I figured out the baffle went in from the top, rather than over the disposal opening like the old one. Read the excellent instructions all the way to the end would be my only advice. Literally untwisted the old one, twisted in the new one and cut the new pipe, as this one is larger than the old one, in diameter. Love it!
Customer Review: Best deal for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
This disposal system I thought was the best value for the price. There is one model up that is about 100 more dollars and much bigger, the only advantage is it is a little quieter. I notice this particular model is quiet enough. Especially if you bought a cookie cutter house and replacing the base model Badger!
Good:
Easy to install
Very quiet
Reduces vibration also
Room for improvement:
You can install yourself, but it is heavy so make sure everything is lined up just right.
Cost may be much for some, but if you need quiet in your house (like say to not wake a baby up) then this is the model for you.
