I bought this in part because of the low noise level touted in other reviews and it did not disappoint. It’s incredibly quiet. The contractor who remodeled our kitchen thought it wasn’t working when he first turned it on. The water from the faucet nearly covers the sound completely. Of course, anything would be an improvement over the old disposal, which sounded as though it would tear itself to pieces every time we used it. But this is just amazing.

And it does a great job of grinding up stuff too.

We installed this when we remodeled our kitchen. It’s quiet, durable, and in the 7 months it’s been installed it has not jammed one time. I love it and would buy it again.

This disposal system I thought was the best value for the price. There is one model up that is about 100 more dollars and much bigger, the only advantage is it is a little quieter. I notice this particular model is quiet enough. Especially if you bought a cookie cutter house and replacing the base model Badger!

Good:
Easy to install
Very quiet
Reduces vibration also

Room for improvement:
You can install yourself, but it is heavy so make sure everything is lined up just right.
Cost may be much for some, but if you need quiet in your house (like say to not wake a baby up) then this is the model for you.

Simple installation, did it myself in less than 15 min including opening the box and reading the directions. Super quiet operation, you can’t even tell if it is running. Replaced older ISE.

My husband installed this and after two hours of headache he realized he had a piece of pipe upside down. After that it was smooth! So installation aside, this disposer is AWESOME! After living in two homes with loud scary sounding disposers this is a dream! I literally danced with joy! My husband and I both have turned it on a few times just to hear how quiet it is. It is truly much quiter than a standard model.

I purchased our new home about 5 years ago, and it came with a ISE cheap entry level disposal. It would no longer spin. Researching, I found this one, purchased it, and installed it myself. Another reason, whether it makes a difference or not, that I selected the same manufacturer, is my thoughts that the same positioning of the holes to adapt he pipes should be he same. Thus making my installation easier. I could not be more pleased. This unit is seriously quieter than the unit that was in my new home. It is a lot larger, but this presented no clearance or installation issues. Installation was very simple. It did require cutting to length the included plastic pipe, which took about a minute with a hacksaw blade. I did transfer the electrical plug from the old unit to the new unit without a hitch. I also had to get a small tube of plumbers putty to seal the drain at the bottom of the sink. All units require it. So it was no surprise at all. I think I spent under $5. I had to go to the store to get the appropriate wire connectors (2) but any excuse to go to the hardware store is good for me!!

The tools required were minimal, and the instructions were very easy to follow. I was also able to register it on line. It does come with a very long warranty, which is one of the reasons I bought it.

I would recommend this unit for being so quiet, great warranty, and easiness in installation, and great warranty

I don’t know from garbage disposals–bought this one based on reviews when our other disposal went out after ten years. I was able to install it into the existing sink-ring in less than an hour (the real time drain was getting myself positioned under the sink to work effectively–it had nothing to do with the disposal itself).

When we first turned it on, my wife and I were a bit startled, as we didn’t hear anything and figured something was wrong. Nothing was wrong, the machine was just several decibels quieter than our old disposal. In fact, we need to listen hard to hear it running when we turn it on. Plus, there is virtually no vibration, which had not been the case with our old disposal. This new InSinkerator has been in operation for about a month, and I couldn’t imagine a single negative thing to say about it. While I was annoyed to have to research and install a new disposal (it’s not like anyone’s to-do list needs something extra like “buy and install new garbage disposal” heaped on top), I’m actually glad the old unit died. This is a really, really nice disposal–solid, whisper quiet, low vibration, clearly gets the job done. I feel it was well worth the extra money.

After reading some reviews and getting a deal on one, I installed this over a couple of hours last week with no major issues. I was a little concerned at first because it was so much bigger than the one it was replacing. Everything was detailed out very well in the directions that came with it. A+ for the directions. The only customization I had to do was trim down an existing piece of PVC pipe and refit it under my sink. Trust me, this part only took about 5 minutes to do. These are very easy and straightforward to install.

The InSinkErator itself works like a champ. It runs very quiet and smoot. Hardly know it’s on at all. Definitely worth the investment and don’t let the install scare you. The directions hold your hand right through it.

Replaced a Badger 1 with the Essential Evolution and am amazed at how quiet it is. There is absolutely no vibration while it was working. The chamber is so much larger than the old one. I like that you can remove the baffle to clean it and actually be able to clean inside the stainless steel chamber too. It is quite a bit wider than the old one but most of the difference in size is at the top so it doesn’t take up extra usable space. At least not under my sink. My husband installed it and said it was easy to put in. The electric cord is not supplied so he used the one from the old (3-year) disposer. You may have to get a cord if you’re not hard wiring the disposer. After one week of intense use, I think it’s great.
