Tools and Hardware Reviews of InSinkErator Evolution Excel 1.0 HP Household Food Waste Disposer
Customer Review: Love it
Summary: 5 Stars
Our disposal finally died after several severe illnesses, and it was a blessing in disguise. I never thought about what kind of disposal it was or its power--just assumed it was a good one. When it came time to replace (after only 5 years of use), it made sense to pay a little more and get a high-powered one. What a difference! It eats up everything (although I'm pretty careful about what goes in) at 1/3 the noise level--definitely worth the price differential to me.Customer Review: Makes My Day

Far above my old waste disposer's capability. No more problems with cloggs. Easy to install and does a great job.Customer Review: Not a Great Disposer!
Summary: 2 Stars
This disposer seems like a dream, but doesn't live upto it. I've had one for 6 months now. For "easy" waste it is quiet and works well. For "tough" waste (which is why you would buy this one) it sucks. Banana peels, onion skins, chicken fat, and other "tough" materials just don't go away, they sit while the unit just spins and spins. Recently, I even had the whole unit fall (become unattached from my sink).
I have complained to insinkerator about the fact that food doesn't go away, and even spoken to an authorized repair rep. The rep said that the newer units grind the food smaller and take longer. Well, forever is alot longer than I expected. Even a 3-4 minute spin isn't enough for tough foods.
Customer Review: One of the best you can get
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a Mechanical engineer and I also love to cook and have large dinners once a week.I was forced to do a ton of research on disposer's when I had the kitchen done.In the 70s and 80s everybody made there own disposer's and they are better than what you can get today.Kitchenaid,Maytag's,and old Wastekings were the best you could buy.K-Aid disposer's were 40 pounds of Cast steel alloys and they had undercutters on them back then.All of the above brands hand undercutting blades that after the waste is ground and goes in the drain chamber it is cut again by shear like blades.The grind rings on Disposers do the work ,disposers don't have blades in them except old Wastekings they have a center ripper blade in them.Disposer's grind the food by slinging it against the sides were there is a chez grater ring the surrounds the flywheel, the things you see are impellers they push the food around and around.In-Sink-erators were at one point and still are (badger) the worst at grinding and the sad thing is there used to be nothing differnt between the badger versions and the 777ss except stainless steel and more power.The grind chambers on Kenmore,Maytag,K-Aid,are all the same every disposer that has that ISE mount is made by them.A Kenmore 1hp is no different than the 1Hp Maytag except the Maytag is 300 and the Kenmore is 150.I needed a new disposer for my prep sink and I love my Viking it is the old Kitchenaid design.Viking bought the rights from Whirlpool and is a great disposer but was 600 bucks in 2004.I went and got the Ise Excel because it has Fixed hammers and swinging and has the most important part undercutters. I can grind cornhusks in my Viking and this excel will also that is a huge problem with all the others out there they cant handle stringy things.I was very leary at first because I am so hard on disposer's I shove steak bones,rib bones,raw bones,paper and all kinds of things down the Viking and it never stops but the excel seems to be just as good so far and it is very quite to the point if you wonder if its on.The Excel has a jam sensor in it that is the cause of the strange pause at first start up and is normal.I thought there was something wrong with it but the flywheel is making sure it the coast is clear or does it need to engage the hammer and reverse fuction.If you have problems with your disposer stopping up then you cant go wrong with this one or if you hate hearing or worrying about will it grind then you cant go wrong with this one.I have ground everything in mine and never a problem.I was wondering when I.S.E. would wake up and make a good disposer,Wasteking is the only other different brand and there not Wastekings if you ask me.Sinkmaster bought them out and they use that same motor and grind setup and took the good Wasteking design a made them cost thousands as commercial disposer's.The Wastekings motor's are loud and the hammers click like crazy and drive me nuts and there all plastic made in China now so I prefer to buy American made products.Sorry about my grammer folks,I am gifted in Math and Science but grammer I just never could grasp and hated it.Customer Review: Powerful and Quiet
Summary: 5 Stars
We replaced our InSinkErator garbage disposer for a more powerful one during the course of a kitchen remodel. The unit is powerful enough to deal with anything we will throw at it and has the added bonus of extremely quiet operation. You have to be in the kitchen to hear it at all! A quality appliance.
