Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Evolution Cover Control 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Expensive But Worth It
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm impressed at the obvious build quality of the cover control model. It replaced an 18 year old Insinkerator cover control model that suddenly wouldn't turn off and became a shock hazard. This Evolution model snapped right into the old mount (real time-saver) and took about 2 hours to complete including minor plumbing changes. This is my 5th disposal install over the years and was the simplest. It's expensive, but cheaper at Amazon.com than some other online retailers I looked at.
Customer Review: Expensive, but still a good value
Summary: 5 Stars
Our previous 3/4 hp In-Sink-Erator finally wore out after 20 years of service. We loved the cover-control on the old model, and I was shocked to find that it's such a rare feature. This high-end unit had it, and I wouldn't have been nearly as happy with wall-switch versions, which we've had in the past. The cover control means you never have to worry about you (or a guest) turning on the disposer when intending to turn on a light. No worries about using an electrical switch with wet hands. Kids are less likely to overload the unit by force-feeding, because the cover is in place when the unit is turned on.
I had never installed a sink disposer before, but I had installed our dishwasher and done similar tasks around the house. Instructions were clear, and I did the whole thing in a couple of hours replacing everything including the drain flange (included with the disposer).
This unit is whisper-quiet, and the 3/4 hp motor never breaks a sweat.
As I said in the title, this one's pretty expensive, but our previous one lasted 20 years and this one seems even sturdier.
May 2010: I am reminded to comment by my mother who just visited to take care of our kids during a trip; on our return, she actually commented on this disposer saying it was among quietest she's used. We constantly feed it eggshells, coffee grounds, asparagus stalks, etc. No maintenance has been necessary.
Customer Review: Extremely Quiet Operator
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit arrived a day or two earlier than expected. We were also installing a new sink and counter top so had plumber do installation and also because I am a klutz. When in operation, we were not sure it was even working, it was so quiet, but nothing remained afterwards. We chose this brand for its great reputation and made in America. Highly recommended.Customer Review: Great Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
The only difficulty I had installing this product was with the length of the sleeve on the sink flange. It was difficult to install the C clamp with the sleeve being so short. They make a longer one but it was not included in the kit. (This was noted in the installation instructions inside the box) I called the company and they offered to ship me one at no charge. It arrived some days later. But, in the interim, I was able to get it installed using the included flange although there was barely enough clearance to install the control magnetic sensor unit. They really should add the longer flange to the kit or at least advertise that the longer flange might be needed on some thicker bottomed sinks.
That issue aside, the unit works great. It's quiet and effective. I highly recommend this product.
Customer Review: Grinding it out...
Summary: 5 Stars
Solid product - REAL quiet and makes short work of all kinds of vegetables and food scraps. Easy to install - bit heavy but even on a fairly cheap/thin stainless steel sink it installed easily and has performed up to expectations.
