Best InSinkErator Garbage Disposals Reviews

The InSinkErator Evolution Excel 1.0 is an American-made garbage disposal with a 1 HP Dura-Drive induction motor running at 1,725 RPM. Compared to a regular disposer, the Evolution Excel is quiet thanks to built-in SoundSeal technology. The technology combines several anti-vibration mounts, advanced-level insulation, and the Quiet Collar Sink Baffle.

The MultiGrind feature offers three stages of grind. In addition, the disposal has an Auto-Reverse Grind System function which includes a jam sensor. The jam-sensor circuit will automatically signal for the motor to increase its torque when the unit’s impellers come across a tough jam. The auto-reverse feature stops jamming by reversing the operation.

Food is broken down within a 40-ounce grind chamber manufactured with stainless steel that enables prolonged life. The unit certainly works for tough stuff like chicken bones, corncobs, and vegetable scraps. Furthermore, it’s a continuous feed disposal meaning you can keep adding food to the machine while it’s in use.

It takes little effort to install the model as it comes with the Quick Lock sink mount component. Plus, if your home has a septic tank, the disposal is perfectly safe to use.

You can purchase two versions between cordless or with a cord. It weighs at least 23 pounds so it certainly isn’t the most lightweight InSinkErator model.

The Evolution Excel 1.0 has a 7-year in-home warranty. There’s always the possibility of the machine malfunctioning or you may need a replacement. InSinkErator has 1500 certified service agents that will come and work on the unit at your home. For zero bucks, you can give the service agent nearest to your area a call.

This model is the most powerful of InSinkErator’s Evolution series. Weighing about 19 pounds, the InSinkErator Evolution Compact 3/4 is equipped with a 34.6 oz. grind chamber, in which food scraps are chopped up through two stages of grind. The disposal does this using power from a 3/4 HP Dual-Drive induction motor.

You can buy the unit in several packages. One of the packages comes with a premium grade 16 gauge stainless steel sink. If you’re trying to stay within a budget, I don’t recommend purchasing this package as it is more expensive than the packages that don’t include the sink.

Because of its compact size, the model fits perfectly in with households that don’t have a lot of cabinet space.

Unlike the Evolution Excel, this is batch feed disposal. With a batch feed disposal, you can drop in food while the machine is running. The food decomposes one batch at a time. For these types of disposals to work, a cover is needed to go over the entrance of the disposal.

You can also purchase the Badger 5 disposal with a power cord attached. It cost a little more than the cordless version. Components and features are the same.

According to a user, the power cord is about 32 inches long.

The 5XP is the second most advanced model of the InSinkErator Badger series using a 3/4 HP Dura-Drive induction motor.  Moreover, it is the best selling one globally. It crushes up eggshells and beef bones very easily and effectively. Several components of the 5XP are a wall switch control for activation and a 26 oz. grind chamber constructed of galvanized steel.

The unit comes with a 3-year in-home limited warranty.

To use this version of the Badger 1 model, you have to plug it up. The grinding components are composed of galvanized steel. The grinding chamber is about 26 oz. which is suitable for lesser amounts of food waste. The Badger 1’s cord is about three feet long so it can’t be stretched too much.

Weighing 13 pounds, it is one of the lightest InSinkErator units. It’s small and takes up little space. The Badger 1 is also cheaper compared to other units with more features.

The 1/3 HP motor works efficiently for breaking down soft food. Far as noise is concerned, the unit isn’t going to be completely quiet because it doesn’t include the SoundSeal technology.

The InSinkErator Evolution Septic Assist 3/4 can grind up just about anything you give it. As the name specifies, it is made for households with septic tanks.

The 3/4 HP Dual-Drive induction motor propels the impellers to break down food waste using combined SoundSeal and MultiGrind technologies. The stainless steel grind chamber has a 40 oz. capacity.

In addition, the model comes with a cartridge with a BioCharge liquid containing millions of microorganisms. When the disposal is in use, the microorganisms are automatically released into the chamber. They produce enzymes, proteins that help decompose food waste like grease and the fats from meats.

What else to know is that the BioCharge liquid is citrus-scented. This helps discourage foul odors that may result from the drain. The cartridge can last a few months depending on how frequently it’s used. Replacing the cartridge is pretty easy. All you do is push the button to eject the old cartridge and snap in the new one.

As this version is pretty big, it probably isn’t best suited for homes with restricted cabinet space.

By buying the Evolution Septic Assist, you get a 4-year in-home limited warranty.

Using a 3/4 HP Dura-Drive induction motor for power, the InSinkErator Evolution Essential XTR works to keep your drain free of clogs.

The unit is super easy to install with the Quick Lock sink mount. Plus, you don’t need a wall switch to activate the disposal because it has a sink-top switch.    It weighs 20 pounds and has a height of 12.25 inches. The unit’s in-home warranty is good for six years.

The unit uses three stages of grind instead of one with MultiGrind Plus technology that includes the Grindshear ring, Tri-Action Lug Action system, and Jam-Sensor Circuit features. In addition, the O1100XL Pro Series has an auto-reverse grind system feature.

The warranty for the InSinkErator O1100XL Pro Series may last up to 12 years!

The InSinkErator PRO750 Pro Series runs on a 3/4 HP motor, 120 volts, and at a speed of 1725 PRM. It is capable of grinding up tough substances like ice, fruit cores, vegetable peelings, and bones. The disposal’s grind chamber can have a capacity of 34.6 oz.
