Overview
A homeowner replacing an old kitchen disposal gets an InSinkErator Evolution unit with an induction motor, sound reducing construction, and a power cord plus sink top switch in the box. It attaches to the sink drain with a plate mount and plugs into an outlet instead of being hard wired.
Getting the cord and switch with the disposer saves a separate purchase and lets the unit plug into an outlet under the sink. Motor horsepower and grind stages are not stated in the specs, so the grinding claims rest on the maker's description.
Who it's for
Homeowners swapping out a noisy or failed disposal, or adding one to a sink without a wall switch, are the target. Restaurants and installers who want a bare unit for hard wiring should look at another model.
Pros and cons
- Power cord included
- Sink top switch included
- Sound reducing construction
- Long in-home warranty
- Installation tool not included
- Horsepower not listed in specs
- Sink top switch needs a free sink hole
- Heavy to hold steady while mounting
Performance notes
Grinding depends on the induction motor and on running water carrying waste through the chamber into the drain. Sound reducing construction is meant to damp motor noise carried through the sink.
