This is the second Evolution Incinerator Excel 1 HP Garbage Disposal that we have owned. The first was purchased and installed in 2009 and was still going strong, but we had a kitchen remodel and decided while we were replacing everything, we would replace this too. We still have the old one and hope to donate it to a friend. The only thing that was wrong is that there is a little silver square metal cover that covers the access to the wires that was missing on the bottom of the new one. We had the plumbers take it off the old one and put it on the new one. We called the company and within a couple of days, customer service sent the missing part, no questions asked, and was very friendly.It still could have been installed without it, but it is something that should be there and would have been an easy fix after the install. This is a little bigger than other garbage disposals both in diameter and height. We knew that because we had already owned this same model, but it did surprise us in 2009 that it takes up a little more space. It is very quiet and does an excellent job. Not the least expensive choice, but since out last one did so well and was trouble free for so many years, it was worth it.

I have just replaced a 1/3 Insinkerator Badger with this top-of-the-line model. I have always been told that this is the best brand made. While I just installed it, the first time I test ran the disposal, I was floored. It is quiet, far quieter than our prior disposal. You cannot hear the motor at all, you only hear the moving parts in the sink. Install was easy, you will NEED plumber's putty as there is no sink seal included. Plumbers recommend putty for this seal anyway as it creates a better seal. This disposal is quite a bit larger than our old Badger model, most likely for insulation and a larger, more powerful motor. This means you have to make sure it will fit under your sink as well as your ability to route all the plumbing properly. My only complaint is directed at Best Buy, not Insinkerator. The disposal was supposed to have a free power connector added, but the system refused to allow me to add it to the order and select any delivery method. I have used the previous device's power cord since it's the same brand. In summation, great product, easy-ish install, and super quiet. Also, it was heavy, very heavy, but the easy attachment of the disposal to the sink connection made that a minimal issue.

Excellent garbage disposal. Had trouble finding it.

Best in its class for residential disposal we use this everyday without any issues highly recommend.

This is probably one of the best if not the best garbage disposal on the market right now. Pros: -Very powerful -Very quiet -Installation was easy -Long Warranty Cons: -Expensive -Very large -Very heavy -Drains water slowly/doesn't suck down whatever you are trying to put down the disposal (this is on purpose and helps to keep the noise down)

This is our 3rd insinkaerator that we have installed in our home and so far it’s the best. It was easy to install It’s tthe most uiet one we have had and it doesn’t vibrate under the sink like the other one we’ve had.

This disposal is very impressive - it's hard to believe this disposal has the strongest motor available, yet is is very hard to know when the unit is actually on because it's so quiet and vibration-free. It's also nice to see the 10-year warranty. From what I have seen, that's the best in the business. Although we haven't owned it long enough to have actually tested this disposal to the limit, I am confident based on what we have put through it that it is up to virtually any grinding task. This disposal holds up to the old adage - "You get what you pay for". This is a top of the line disposal and it is evident in it's size, build, strength and it's insulation. Fantastic product - well done Insinkerator!

Great disposal and installer was fantastic. We would recommend to everyone. Quick to install

My wife and I love this garbage disposal because it is extremely quiet. I have personally installed several disposals in the different homes we have owned. The installation was quick and easy with the additional Keeney one man Garbage disposal Installation tool. I highly recommend this product!

We purchased the 1 HP Evolution Excel based on web based recommendations and product ratings. We were not disappointed as the unit works great and is extremely quiet. You can be carrying on a conversation in the kitchen while you are clearing dishes and running the disposal. It receives our highest recommendation.
