Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Evolution Cover Control 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: INSINKERATOR-with ON/OFF Switch in Cover --OK QUALITY
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is well designed and installed easier than I would have thought. It replaced a 22 year old similar cover-control model. This is the only 'cover control' model I could find to properly replace my old one.
UPDATE: AFTER a YEAR of USE---It has annoying features:
--Silverware sticks to the magnetic cover as you remove it
--You always need to clean the cover as the openings are too small to let water down as it gets easily clogged with some sink debris
--You always need to shove the big debris down the shute with your hand or a spoon as the plastic flange is so wide in the drain it does not let stuff go down
--OVERALL it is annoying to have to use
--the 20 year old one was better (EASIER TO USE AND LET STUFF DOWN, AND COVER DID NOT GET CLOGGED) but louder
It is VERY QUIET---you can barely hear it when in use!!! The new cover on/off switch will take some getting used to as it the connection is magnetic; the magnetic drain cover sticks to the sink rack when you remove it and is tight in the drain where you need to turn it 90 degrees for ON.
The instructions were not clear on how to install the on/off switch magnet on top of the unit (under the sink). Since the sticker was upside down I had it in wrong first, and of course it did not work.
They neglect to provide the small round electrical wire connector for the wire that was not needed on my 22 year old one. The package does not warn you--all they say is you will need some simple tools... This is the type of connector you screw into a juntion box to hold a wire.
Installed in 2 hours. This new item provides two extra 1.5 inch PVC pipes to allow for some of the size changes over the years.
Customer Review: InSinkerator Evolution Cover Control
Summary: 3 Stars
This Garbage disposal replaced the Pro 17 series which was excallent. Needing to replace the original one after 17yrs, I went w/this new replacement model(according to Insinkerator) for ease of installation. I find it too quiet and sometimes it turns on very easily w/the magnet attraction and runs when you don't even know it's on. This could potentially cause damage to the unit if the water isn't running. Other times it is hard to engage the turn on. It also catches alot of food in the cover which should be washing down the drain. I wish I choose a different ISE model.
Customer Review: Insinkerator is the best. They invented the garbage disposer.
Summary: 5 Stars
Insinkerator is the best. They invented the gargage disposer. They are to the disposer what Kitchen Aid is to the mixer. (The old ones). One great feature of the insinkerator is that they come with a hex wrench that fits in the bottom so the homeowner can take care of minor jams themselves. They very seldom jam anyway. It's a good product.Customer Review: Not Ready for Prime Time
Summary: 1 Stars
The cover control depends on the disposal sink stopper to turn the disposal on and off. There are magnets in the stopper that make contact when the stopper is turned. After less than a month, the stopper was very rusty and contact could no longer be made and the disposal would not turn on.
You'd think they would make a stopper that wouldn't rust, since that is critical to the operation of the disposal. To their credit, InSinkErator sent a tech out and he replaced it with an equivalent non-cover control model and even had 1/4 additional HP, at no charge. This one operates with a wall switch like most other disposals and it works great.
The Cover Control model is not ready for prime time. I recommend against buying it.
Customer Review: Quiet and powerful. I love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I dropped a little extra cash on this and it was worth it. I even installed it myself! I really take pride in that because I'm not known to be handy around the house. It was actually pretty easy and took me under an hour. I got a little confused by the different rings and measurements, but that's because I'm a little slow. InSinkErator has a hotline you can call, on a Saturday! They straightened me out and I had it running within minutes of hanging up the phone.
Quiet, powerful, and I love the safety cover control.
