Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Easy install, superb product.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.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: 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.
