Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
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.
Customer Review: Great unit, easy to install, fast and quiet
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit is very quiet, and very effective at making food waste disappear! I purchased it to replace a very old no-name disposer that had failed miserably. The Evolution Compact was very easy to install in it's place. The only thing required that wasn't in the box is stainless putty, used to seal the top ring against a metal sink. After installation, I was stunned at how quiet this unit was. It was installed on a very cheap sink attached to a very cheap counter, and the vibration is virtually nonexistent even when it is grinding food up.
The one thing I do have to note is that despite the 'compact' name, this unit is much larger than most no-name 1/3HP disposers that typically are pre-installed for homes or condos. I cannot fault it for this, but if you are like me and value your under-sink space you will have to sacrifice some for the power and efficiency of this unit.
Customer Review: NICE !
Summary: 5 Stars
Although I bought from Home Depot (same $ as online) locally (5 minutes from house) I will still give my thoughts. I use the reviews seriously when buying product. I read some good and bad. After buying this and installing it I think the ones who gave bad reviews are morons. First this is the quietest disposal I ever heard. The person who reviewed as noisy certainly did not install it properly. The one lady who couldn't hold it up and used a car jack to do so deserves some credit for using her brain because I did the same thing as not to struggle. I took my time and used all the suggestions and it is still running great. The old disposal was a InSinkEator but a lower model and was all rusted, only 9 years old. Hopefully this one will last a lot longer. Great purchase !
Read all the reviews and take the good with the bad. Sometimes you have to use your brain.
