InSinkErator® Evolution Series® Disposers
Evolution Series® Disposers feature patented MultiGrind® and SoundSeal® technologies, which means they grind more with less noise. The Evolution Essential® Food Waste Disposer is the ideal choice for a wide range of kitchens. The model that fits the widest range of customer needs, Evolution Essential® features MultiGrind® technology, to grind everything from artichokes to rib bones, and SoundSeal® technology, to cut noise levels by up to 40% over standard disposers.

Evolution Technology: Grind More, Hear Less
Over 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 Essential'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 Essential®, 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. 40% 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 up to 40% 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.

The Evolution Essential® food waste disposer is constructed with a stainless steel Quick Lock® sink mount for easy installation. 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 Essential® 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 Essential® 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 plantscan 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 Essential® 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works great, takes lots of space, December 29, 2006

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

I recently purchased one of these and am pleased with the power, capacity, versatility, and especially the quiet operation. However, the installation was more than i had anticipated.

Assuming that you are replacing another disposer that is more than a few years old, you should be prepared to replace much of the surrounding hardware including the dishwasher anti-siphon valve, hose, and clamps. This disposer does not come with a power cord and the instructions direct you to use the one from your old unit. In fact, you will probably need to buy a new cord made specifically for the ISE, especially if your old disposer is another make; ISE's have a special strain-relief clamp which will prevent the cord from being yanked out. While you're under the sink you may as well check for leaks, replace the contact paper and patch any drywall knocks that have happened over the years.

The real gotcha with the Evolution Series is that it's wider than most other models, which means that you'll probably need to cut and realign PVC drain pipes to make it fit. For me this involved 3-dimensional measurements, trigonometry, and second-guessing about why somebody before me installed drain pipe that way in the first place. The wider body of the Evolution also means you will have less under-sink storage space available, which might be the difference between keeping a trash container down there or not.

ISE also makes a lower-capacity Evolution model that is just as powerful and has dimensions more similar to their Badger line. If i had it to do again, i would have gotten the smaller one instead and hopefully avoided the PVC work. Still, this is a great disposer now that it's in place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sooo quiet., February 28, 2008

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

Replaced a Badger 1 with the Essential Evolution and am amazed at how quiet it is. There is absolutely no vibration while it was working. The chamber is so much larger than the old one. I like that you can remove the baffle to clean it and actually be able to clean inside the stainless steel chamber too. It is quite a bit wider than the old one but most of the difference in size is at the top so it doesn't take up extra usable space. At least not under my sink. My husband installed it and said it was easy to put in. The electric cord is not supplied so he used the one from the old (3-year) disposer. You may have to get a cord if you're not hard wiring the disposer. After one week of intense use, I think it's great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Straightforward installation, good directions, runs smooth as butta, April 2, 2008

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

After reading some reviews and getting a deal on one, I installed this over a couple of hours last week with no major issues. I was a little concerned at first because it was so much bigger than the one it was replacing. Everything was detailed out very well in the directions that came with it. A+ for the directions. The only customization I had to do was trim down an existing piece of PVC pipe and refit it under my sink. Trust me, this part only took about 5 minutes to do. These are very easy and straightforward to install.

The InSinkErator itself works like a champ. It runs very quiet and smoot. Hardly know it's on at all. Definitely worth the investment and don't let the install scare you. The directions hold your hand right through it.
