I’ve been running this unit every day for the last five years. It runs flawlessly. Nice and quiet. My wife is cleaning out an aquarium and got some gravel into the unit. One piece got stuck inside. It was an easy fix all I had to do was use the tool supplied and crank it back-and-forth to free the stone. Hit the reset button and way it goes again. Would highly recommend this unit.

Compre este triturador para sustituir el que originalmente venia con la cocina integral y ya tenía más de 10años de uso. Solo criticaría el hecho de que te venden por aparte el cable de alimentación y/o el botón de arranque neumático tal vez considerando que es para sustituir uno viejo. Sin embargo no me di cuenta de ello y tuve que pedir un cable nuevo más bien por seguridad que por deterioro del anterior.

Muy potente, con ruido moderado, tenía la versión anterior de este mismo modelo y lo mejoraron bastante, se escucha con mayor poder y en cuestión de segundos libera el lavatrastes.Fácil de manera y pude usar la instalación que ya tenia del anterior.

Es muy buen aparato, de buena calidad, medianamente ruidoso y muy fácil de instalar, el problema con estos aparatos radica en las tuberías. Me parece que no es apto para México pues aquí las tuberías no necesariamente son lo suficientemente gruesas para que los residuos no las tapen. Mi experiencia fué de 2 veces tapadas, yo lo usaba pensando que trituraba todo, no tiene cuchillas, (es un sistema diferente del que dicen las descripciones, giran unos tambores a gran velocidad y los residuos se desbaratan al chocar con las paredes y entre sí, tuvo que venir el plomero a destapar. Por consiguiente lo uso muy poco y para pocos deshechos porque hay muchos que no se pueden desintegrar. Si van a adquirirlo asegúrense de no lidiar con este problema.Cómo último comentario mi hija descartó su uso. Se tapó el drenaje de su casa como en cuatro ocasiones.

It's a good product from a good company. American made and highly praised by experts. It's compact too, which makes it easier to install in tight spaces. I believe it is their most popular model. So they have a lot of incentive not to mess it up! I appreciate the recyclable box packaging. Kind of cheap, plastic sink stopper but I just use the one from the retired disposal. This one replaced an Insinkerator Evolution Spacesaver model that served for many years and ran quietly. This one is just as quiet as the one it replaced, yet more powerful. For me, it was a bit of a job since I chose to replace all the PVC piping underneath that was leaking at the seals for the joints. Here is one tip I wish was in the instructions but I found on a youtube video: use an automotive style compact jack (the kind you find in the trunk of your car) to support the weight of the disposal as you position it to have the ring twist on to attach to the sink. It will save your back in tight spaces. A second person to steady the new disposal as you position it can be helpful too. I also recommend you have the following tools for a DIY job: needle nose pliers, electrical tape, philips and flat-head screw-drivers, plumbers putty, a hack-saw (you may need to reduce the length of a pipe), sponges, paper-towels, a spray cleaner, a large bowl to catch nasty smelling liquids, a voltage tester, a wire stripper and scraper. Don't forget to turn off power before messing with the wires! And my last and most important tip: for those of you with dishwashers, don't forget to pop out the plastic blocker for the tube leading from the dishwasher. I think a lot of plumbers get a periodic chuckle and quick money from those DIY'ers who forget and are baffled by flooded dishwashers!

Cambié mi triturador de desperdicios viejo por este. El anterior era de la misma marca pero modelo 55 (1/2 HP).compré este por la garantía de 8 años y porque todos los componentes eran de mejor calidad.Fue fácil de instalar y me sorprendió lo silencioso que es.No puedo decir mucho sobre su durabilidad pues apenas tiene unos 10 días de uso.Espero me dure; cuando menos, los 8 años que está en garantía.

Excelente Producto, exacto lo que es, chequen bien porque para algunas instalaciones, no trae botón de arranque, cable a toma corriente con clavija y accesorios.

Update: It's 2024 and this same unit is still going strong. It even carried over through a kitchen remodel last year since it was in perfect working order. Other than getting a new baffle for very cheap all else is original. Great disposal.***Important Note!*** Don't do what I did and forget to knock out the dishwasher hookup plug before you get the whole thing mounted up under your sink. That is, of course, as long as you're using the dishwasher hookup. I was lucky enough to remember before I ran my dishwasher, but it was a pain to knock it out under the sink.The previously installed disposal in my kitchen was an Insinkerator Badger 5 of unknown age. It failed in typical fashion due to internal seals breaking down and eventually causing water to leak through the bottom of the case.The best thing about this new unit was that it went in place with no adjustments to the rest of the plumbing. It was an exact fit for the Badger. I replaced the sink flange with all the new mounting hardware, which was perfectly simple. The new unit is relatively quiet and seems effective at disposing what little waste I use it for. I will say that it seems substantially more quiet when actually grinding up food waste than the Badger was, and I'm sure it is due to the combination of sound-dampening and grinding efficiency design improvements over such models. In my opinion, nobody *needs* to spend hundreds more for a disposal quieter than this one for anything more than bragging rights. It's a machine designed to pulverize your food waste into a slurry to go down your drains, and, from what I can tell, the sound of water running in my sink is almost louder than the sound of this unit grinding up my week-old leftovers.I will speak to the rate of water draining through the rubber baffle, as I've seen some people complain about it. In my own experience, I've seen no issues with slow drainage. My sink faucet has an aerator as most down nowadays, which reduces water flow. However, I tested it without the aerator using full water flow from the tap, and still had no problems with water draining through the baffle. If I dump a huge pot of water into the sink, does it drain more slowly than a regular sink drain? Absolutely. That's to be expected. The baffle does have a smaller opening than my previous unit for sure, and I do often have to push food scraps through, but this doesn't bother me. The smaller opening does make the unit quieter by creating a barrier of water as stated in the literature, and it's also less prone to the garbage slurry splashing back out while operating, which did sometimes happen with my Badger.The only tricky part of install was getting the quick mount collar rotated far enough to fully latch. I ended up using a large screw driver slipped between one of the mounting screws and the throat of the flange as a lever to hold the sink flange in place while I rotated the quick-mount collar in the opposite direction with the jam-release tool. This is critical since I've read several reviews around the internet where people had their disposer fall off several weeks after installation. I'd bet it was because they didn't fully engage the collar until it reached the stops. This can be a simple thing to overlook. I nearly did it myself.My previous disposal was hard-wired to a switch inside the cabinet under the sink. Not exactly an ideal arrangement. I rewired the switch as a GFCI outlet and bought the power cord kit () for the new disposal along with the . This was a great choice and now makes using the disposer much simpler than opening the cabinet, hunting for the switch, dumping food waste, hunting for the switch in the cabinet again, and shutting the door. I know, first-world problems.If I discount the time it took for the electrical work I had to do (about two hours), the disposal install itself took no more than an hour. I'm pretty handy, but if all someone is doing is a direct replacement for another Insinkerator, it should be a fairly simple job.My only minor complaint is that this unit didn't include a power cord, which is a separate purchase if one is not hard-wiring it. In my case I was moving from hard-wired to plug-in installation. Most installations of disposals seem to be going to plug-in judging by the modern homes I've seen over the past few years. I do realize the benefit of waste reduction however in not including the cord for those who would be hard-wiring. It would simply be another part headed for the landfill or squirreled away in a homeowner's miscellaneous junk drawer. Simply be sure you know which type of install you've got and buy the extra parts if needed.I spent a fair bit of time trying to decide between this Insinkerator and a couple units from Waste King which were less expensive. In the end I chose the Insinkerator for the benefit of a direct replacement for the Badger 5, and also seeing a good number of people complaining about failures of the Waste King EZ Mount system used to attach the disposal to the sink flange. There was a lot of talk of plastic parts failing, and I decided that the tried and true Insinkerator mounting system (all metal) seemed like a better choice in the long run. Time will tell if this disposal proves to be reliable and lasts an expected number of years.

This model cannot be used in the UK, the UK Model is Evolution 100. My Evolution Compact was supplied from the US, with electrical cabling removed and no serial number.
