InSinkErator Evolution Excel® Disposer Review




The InSinkErator Evolution Excel® is a culmination of InSinkErator’s 78 years of experience in designing, manufacturing, and selling over 100 million of the #1 Brand of garbage disposer. This “Top of the Line” disposer features the best of InSinkErator’s grinding and SoundSeal Plus™ Technologies making the Evolution Excel® the quietest most trouble free Disposer on the market today.

The entire InSinkErator Evolution Garbage Disposer line is a revolution in technology that incorporates both features for quiet operation and reliability into the line and the InSinkErator Excel® is the flagship of the line with more features than any of the other disposers in the InSinkErator Evolution line. No other disposer manufacturer can come close to the quietness or, reliability the InSinkErator Evolution line offers never mind compete with the InSinkErator Evolution Excel®.


InSinkErator Disposer Flange Options

The InSinkErator Evolution Excel® features include:

Optional Sink Top Switches available in a variety of finishes.

The owners of the InSinkErator Evolution Excel® give it rave reviews citing its quiet trouble free operation and many of them have purchased a second one after buying a new home. I can tell you personally from a plumbers view that I have never been to a service call on one for either a disposer jamb or a clogged drain resulting from improper grinding.

A full line of accessories such as color and finish coordinated flanges and stoppers, optional countertop mounted switches also color and finish coordinated, and a power cord kit make this an easy and attractive installation in any kitchen new, remodeled, or old.

InSinkErator Quick Lock® Mount

The InSinkErator, the “Twist-On, Twist-Off” Quick-Lock® Mount makes for an easy installation for anyone even a DIYer with only modest electrical and plumbing skills. Tools and supplies required would be:  “Hercules Sta-Put Ultra Plumbers Putty” for a stain free installation on any sink, screwdriver, channel lock pliers, fractional allen wrenches, and tubular brass or, plastic drain tubing to fit your application.  If you do not have 120 volt electrical power under the sink an electrician may be needed to supply power to the disposer. The disposer should be on a GFCI protected circuit. The disposer adds 6 11/16″ to the depth of the drain. If the drain is not low enough in the wall a plumber may be needed to lower the drain in the wall. Additional pipes added to the trap effecting the depth of the trap water seal can have an adverse effect on drainage and void the disposer warranty due to improper installation.
