Evolution Excel Household Food Waste Disposer At a Glance: Powerful 1 horsepower motor Three-stage grind system to liquefy foods Circuit that increases torque to break through jams Backed by a seven-year warranty

A Quick Lock sink mount enables you to install the disposer with ease (click to enlarge).

Three-Stage Grind Technology to Liquefy Foods
The Evolution Excel food waste disposer also features a MultiGrind Plus system that virtually liquefies food matter before it flows safely to your sewage system. This three-stage grind technology combines a GrindShear ring, a Tri-Action Lug system, and an Undercutter Disk to finely grind foods and prevent clogs and jams. As a result, you can use the Evolution Excel to dispose of a variety of tough-to-grind foods, including celery, corncobs, chicken bones, fruit rinds, coffee grounds, and potato peels.

Powerful Induction Motor for Optimal Performance
Along with MultiGrind Plus technology, the Evolution Excel contains a heavy-duty, 1 horsepower Dura-Drive induction motor for powerful yet quiet performance. An auto-reverse grind mechanism helps prevent jams, while an electronic Jam Sensor circuit detects jams and automatically increases the machine's torque by 500 percent to break through them.

Sound-Reducing Technology for Quiet Operation
Thanks to InSinkErator's SoundSeal Plus system and Quiet Collar sink baffle, the Evolution Excel is at least 60 percent quieter than typical food waste disposers--making it possible to hold a conversation, using normal voices, with the disposer running in the same room. This patented technology includes superior insulation around the motor, an anti-vibration sink mount, and an anti-vibration tailpipe to prevent sound transmission from vibrations. The patented sink baffle also helps prevent sound from escaping the throat of the disposer.

Quick Lock Sink Mount for Easy Installation
Like all InSinkErator food waste disposers, to simplify the installation process, the Evolution Excel sports a three-bolt Quick Lock sink mount made of stainless steel. If you have an existing food waste disposer, you can likely just twist it off and twist on the Evolution Excel. With Quick Lock, replacing one InSinkErator disposer with another is easy.

Economical and Environmentally Friendly
Compared with other installed kitchen appliances, food waste disposers cost little to operate. InSinkErator Evolution disposers use an average of just one gallon of water per person per day, or less than 1 percent of a typical household's total water consumption. They also use an average of three to four kilowatt hours of electricity per year, which typically amounts to less than 50 cents.

In addition, food waste disposers offer an environmentally responsible alternative to simply sticking food waste in the garbage can. For those on a sewage system, grinding the waste with the disposer sends it to the local municipal wastewater treatment plant, where it can often processed into bio-solids for use as fertilizer or recycled to produce methane, a renewable source of energy.

Product Information
This product measures 14 by 11 by 14 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 19.8 pounds. It's designed to be hard-wired and controlled by a wall switch. With a grind chamber capacity of 40 ounces, the disposer can process a greater volume of food waste than standard disposers.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Claims Are True! October 15, 2010

By K. McCarty

Color Name:Stainless Steel|Amazon Verified Purchase

Length: 2:03 Mins

After some time without a working disposal and years of cheap disposals, I finally treated my parents with A REAL GARBAGE DISPOSAL. I cannot speak on the long term durability of it because I just got it working yesterday but so far I am very impressed. When the electrician installed it, he had to double check that it was on and working because it is so quiet! You will see in the video; pretty much all you can hear is the water running.

I actually did two videos, this one was first and then about 30 min later I did another longer video with LOTS more stuff (smoked sausage w/ skins, grapes, yogurt and rock hard pork chops). I did this video because I had not found any online that show it doing what it claims so here you go! I ground two chicken thighs (bones included) to test their claims. Trust Me; they ARE NOT LYING!!

I will admit that after round II, I was running it while washing my hands and it turned off automatically. I was horrified! Turns out, it is smart enough to shut-off when it has overheated instead of simply burning up. The motor was too hot to touch (for more than 2 seconds) so I put ice-cubes down the sink and ran cold water. It sat for an hour or so and then I simply pushed the reset button and it was back to normal! With the 7 year warranty, I was comfortable testing their claims and I am happy. Well worth my money! The electrician, my mom and dad were all in disbelief when they saw this in action.

This was my first disposal purchase and installation so I wondered if I needed extra parts ... turns out I only needed the plumber's putty and screwdrivers, so I returned the extra parts I bought at Lowe's. Final warning ... the unit is about 23-25 pounds and was a BEAR for me to maneuver under the sink and onto the clips, ALONE! That was the hardest part for me.

Hope that was helpful! Enjoy!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Top End December 4, 2008

By W. Shimet

Color Name:Stainless Steel|Amazon Verified Purchase

The Insinkerator Evolution Excel is simply the best!!!! This year for Thanksgiving, a guest was helping in the kitchen and put a large amount of potato peels down the disposer. I was concerned because not only was the disposer jammed full of potato peels, but there were a bunch of peels in the sink waiting to be stuffed into the disposer. (This has happened with our old disposer and I got the privilege of trying to unclog a clogged sink - not a fun thing to do with a house full of company). I watched her turn on the disposer and to my amazement they were all disposed of without a jam. At this point the Evolution Excel was worth every penny I paid for it. My only complaint about this disposer is that is almost too quiet. When you turn it on, you can barely hear it run. I have to remind myself to insure it has been turned off because you get a quiet hum when it is running, not like the old disposer that was LOUD. This is great if you have a sleeping baby, etc where you don't want to wake up the neighbors when you run the disposer.

When I got this, I never put one in before. The instruction for installation where easy to use. its much bigger then the old one i had. so a few modifications where needed. When I finished, I had to try it out. Dropped a potato in and it was gone instantly. so quiet too.
