InSinkErator Evolution Series Disposers
Evolution Series Disposers feature patented MultiGrind and SoundSeal technologies, which means they grind more with less noise. The Evolution Compact Food Waste Disposer is the ideal choice for small households or restricted cabinet space. With its compact design features, Evolution Compact features MultiGrind technology, to grind everything from artichokes to rib bones, and SoundSeal technology, to cut noise levels by at least 30% over standard disposers.

Evolution Technology: Grind More, Hear Less
For the past eight decades, InSinkErator has built more than 100 million food waste disposers. Now the company has put everything it has learned into a line of disposers that sets dramatic new standards for performance. Evolution Series& disposers feature innovative technologies--MultiGrind and SoundSeal--that address users' two most common requests: improved grinding ability and reduced noise.

Liquify Waste with MultiGrind Technology With the Compact's MultiGrind feature, you can efficiently grind difficult food items, such as bones. This two-stage technology uses a GrindShear Ring that enables you to grind food waste significantly better than you could in any previous disposer. With the Evolution Compact, celery, potato peels, artichokes, rib bones, and more are virtually liquefied to safely flow into your sewage system. You'll enjoy a cleaner food preparation area and less bagged garbage cluttering your home. 30% Less Noise with SoundSeal Technology SoundSeal Technology utilizes an Anti-Vibration Mount, an Anti-Vibration Tailpipe Mount, and Quiet Collar Sink Baffle, so you can hold a conversation with elevated voices while the disposer is running. This technology also includes SoundLimiter insulation to reduce noise levels by at least 30% compared to standard disposers.

Which Evolution Series Food Waste Disposer is Right for You?
You can choose between five Evolution Series models, all featuring the patented MultiGrind and SoundSeal technologies. Each disposer is specifically made with a particular consumer in mind.

All InSinkErator food waste disposers are built with this feature, making replacement of older units a breeze--simply disconnect and replace your old disposer using the same sink mount.

, Wallet-Friendly Choice
The Evolution Compact food waste disposer is a practical and environmentally responsible way to help reduce the 31 million tons of solid waste generated from food scraps in the U.S. each year.

Instead of throwing this food waste away, grinding it with the Evolution Compact sends it to your local municipal wastewater treatment plant, where it can be recycled to produce methane, a renewable source of power for the plant. Additionally, wastewater treatment plants can process food waste into biosolids to be used as fertilizer (check the plant in your area).

Food waste disposers average less than 50 cents a year in electricity to operate and account for less than one percent of a household's total water consumption. In fact, the Evolution Compact features an average water usage of one gallon per person per day and an average electrical usage of three to four kilowatt hours per year, making it among the least expensive installed kitchen appliances.

We Come To You Parts and Labor Warranty
The Evolution Compact is backed by an exclusive four-year We Come to You In-Home Service Warranty.This warranty from InSinkErator includes free house calls (including parts and labor) for the entire warranty period.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quiet and smooth!, February 17, 2007

By

This review is from: InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer (Tools & Home Improvement)

After reading the reviews here, I went to Home Depot this morning and bought the Compact. I planned to install it myself, and did not buy any extras. I could always run back to the store if I needed. The hardest part of the entire installation was getting the old disposal out. I think it was the original installed by the builder 20 years ago. Once I got the old one out, the rest was a breeze. The instructions covered everything well enough that I had no problems, inspite of my wife's questions about whether or not I had ever done something like this before. I did not have to move or replace any plumbing. I did need my wife to push down on the sink collar while I attached the rings underneath. Everything went together well, no leaks. I even took the tension clamp off the old one and used to secure the power cord coming from the wall.

The moment of truth came: I flipped the switch and I was stunned! The box said 40% quiter than the Badger line, but this thing is 80% quieter than what it replaced! I was wowed! Called the wife in to see my handiwork, and she was wowed! (I'm her hero!) With the old disposal, you could not watch TV or have a conversation in that end of the house when it ran. Now, you can stand at the sink and whisper while it runs. There is a low hum, and a very mild vibration.

InSinkErator makes a much larger 1 h.p. unit with a stainless steel case that claims to be 60% quiter than the Badger line. I would be afraid you couldn't tell it was on if it was that much quiter than the Compact. This unit is the best buy around, and would be worth it even at a higher price (but don't let InSinkErator get wind of that). I highly recommend the Compact, and in fact, I would recommend that you not get any other brand!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't go wrong with this one..., February 29, 2008

InSinkErator Compact Evolution Household Food Waste Disposer, Gray

Pros:

- These current generation InSinkErators could be the quietest and most vibration-free disposers on the market. The case itself is insulated; the sink-drain connector assembly's metal parts are rubber cushioned; plus the discharge pipe flange is rubber. These anti-vibration innovations work. When no water or waste is in the unit, all you hear is a mild hum. If it was much quieter and you wouldn't know it was on.

- It performs as you would expect for an excellent disposer. Nothing we've fed it has failed to be ground-up and flushed away.

- 3/4 HP has been more than enough to get the job done.

- It's the smallest of the high-end disposers, giving more room to store things in your sink-base cabinet, and more room for your body when working on under-sink plumbing.

- It's good looking and looks expensive.

- About as easy to install as possible, for a disposer. Have a small container of plumber's putty on hand before you begin. You might also need some medium sized wire nuts.

- A four-year in-home warranty confirms the manufacturer's confidence in their product's reliability.

Other

- A common method of electrifying the unit is to hard-wire it by connecting an NM (non-metallic sheathed) cable directly to the disposer (which is why no cord is provided). Alternatively, install the InSinkErator Power Cord Kit #CRD-00, and plug the cord into a receptacle in the sink-base cabinet. If there is no receptacle there, feed the existing NM cable into a utility box and install one; turn the power off first. Use a receptacle tester (sold by Amazon) to verify proper wiring. If you have the skills to hard-wire a disposer, you have the skills to install a surface-mounted box and receptacle.

-If you are connecting a dishwasher to the disposer, you might need the InSinkErator Dishwasher Connector Kit #DWC-00. Some dishwashers, such as Kitchen Aid models, do not need the kit, because their discharge hose connects without modification to an InSinkErator.

Cons:

- InSinkErator should design the unit so a special three-prong cord [they could sell] plugs and twist-locks into the bottom of the disposer, while still allowing for a hard-wired option. That would eliminate all wiring directly to the disposer, preventing end-user mis-wiring of the cord.

Summary:

This disposer is obviously the result of many generations of InSinkErator improvements; a 5-star appliance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Disposal I've Ever Used, December 28, 2006

This review is from: InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 HP Household Food Waste Disposer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I can't say enough about how happy I am with the Evolution Compact disposal from InSinkErator. I had a fairly high end Kenmore disposal for about a year. It did a good job but was noisy. Then this year there was a fire in my condo unit that resulted in several rooms having to be rebuilt, one of which was the kitchen. When working up the remodeling details, I ran across the Evolution Compact at Home Depot. I wasn't up-to-speed on this new series so I went home and read up as much material as I could find. In short, though I didn't really need a new disposal, I decided to give it a try to see if I could reduce the noise in the kitchen. I am SO GLAD I spent the money for the Evolution Compact. It is significantly quieter than the Kenmore. My sink doesn't rattle like it's going to come loose from the countertop when the disposal is running. Best of all, the Evolution quickly gets rid of anything I've thrown at it, all they while doing it quietly. One thing that attracted my eye in the store was the blue color of unit. It stood out from all the blacks and greys around. While appearence in not necessarily something you look for in a garbage disposal, it does project the image of a high-quality, high-end appliance, something that can be a positive if for any reason you decide to sell your home. I highly recommend the Evolution Series to anyone looking for a new garbage disposal. I agree with a prior reviewer, there are other places where you find the Evolution Compact for $159 so it's worth shopping around unless you live in an area where you have to make a long drive to get to a home center like Lowes or Home Depot.
