Poor grind and louder compared to Supreme SS
on January 14, 2025
Posted by: jjse
from Idaho
Swapped from a Supreme Evolution SS (discontinued) to the Advanced 1HP...Bad all around, could not grind a lemon.. It sat in there for 5 minutes until I manually removed it. Additionally its 5 decibels louder than the Supreme SS (I measured with a decibel meter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from insinkerator.comBy INSINKERATOR, January 17, 2025
Hi JJSE, thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear that your new unit is not performing up to your expectations. The Evolution 1.0HP features 4-stage MultiGrind® Technology, which focuses on fineness of grind over speed. This technology is designed to virtually eliminate drain line blockages caused by food waste and to reduce odors. Since the disposer grinds food waste to smaller/finer particles, it may take longer to grind certain items compared to other disposers. For instance, fruit peels like bananas, lemons, limes, or oranges have smooth, rubbery textures, which require more time for the grinding components to break them down. About the sound level, several factors can cause the disposer to run louder than normal. These may include the material of your sink, how well the sink is secured, and the type of food being ground. You can visit our troubleshooting guide here that may help resolve the issue: https://support.insinkerator.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/518. We're always looking for ways to enhance our products, and your feedback is greatly appreciated. If you need further assistance, please reach out to our customer service team at https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask.

Extremely disappointing
on July 4, 2025
Posted by: CarolS24
Oranges keep spinning in the middle and are not shredded. Looks like depending on the position your garbage hits the bottom, it simply will keep spinning and will not be shredded. I keep having to manually remove the orange peels and arranging them in a certain position so that they actually get shredded. Extremely disappointing.

Hi CarolS24, we're sorry to hear that you're having an issue with the performance of your unit. Our new advanced series Evolution 1.0 HP disposer has 4-Stage MultiGrind® Technology and has been designed to prevent clogs. Since it grinds food waste to smaller/finer particles, it may take longer to grind certain items such as banana, lemon, lime, and orange peels. Due to the smooth or rubbery peels, it takes more time for the grind components to break down the skin of these fruits. We recommend grinding peels in smaller amounts or combining these with other, heavier food waste items, such as fruit pits or bones. We appreciate you sharing your feedback with us, and we'll be sure to share it with our disposer team. If we can do anything else for you, please feel free to reach out to our Customer Service team at https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask.

High-Quality Solid Disposal
on August 23, 2025
Posted by: AriizonaDave
from Tempe, Arizona
I own rental properties, so I (unfortunately!) replace disposals multiple times every year. I use the Evolution 1.0HP disposal because it has the best quality. It costs more than other disposals, but it also lasts longer than other disposals, meaning that I don't need to replace it as often. A relatively new feature is the lift-and-lock feature, and that feature makes the installation vastly easier. With the old technology, you had to lift the heavy disposal with one hand while using the other hand to align and rotate the mounting ring. With the new technology, I can use both hands to lift the disposal and twist it onto the mounting bracket. Once I secure the disposal to the bracket, I can then rotate it back to align with my drain pipe.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Noisy disposal replacement
on October 3, 2025
Posted by: SteveB noisy disposal
from Eugene OR
Insinkerator replaced my Prestige-2 due to failure. It was replaced with the Evolution 55ss. I thought it would be equivalent, but it is so noisy. It says it’s very quiet but nope. My previous disposal was so quiet.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from insinkerator.comBy INSINKERATOR, October 4, 2025
Hello SteveB! Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that your replacement disposal seems noisier than expected. The Evolution 55SS is designed with advanced sound seal technology to minimize noise compared to standard models. However, the overall sound level can still vary based on factors such as sink material, surrounding cabinetry, and installation setup. We appreciate your bringing this to our attention. If there’s anything we can assist you with, please contact our customer support at https://support.insinkerator.com/app/ask. We're here to help.

Horrible design for anti-vibration connection
on October 31, 2025
Posted by: Badger123
from Baltimore, MD
I just had a new unit installed by a professional plumber and the unit leaks at the connection between the disposal and the drain pipe. The plumber came back and said he sees this problem all the time with this unit. The anti-vibration fitting is a HORRIBLE design. The plumber can not replace the flimsy spring clamp with a hose clamp or flexible discharge tube without voiding the InSinkErator warranty. Wow - so disappointed in this design!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

this is great
on December 10, 2023
Posted by: ken5086
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great addition to my kitchen. I love how i do not have to clean the chunks out of the strainer anymore, something i hated doing. I love how quiet the machine is compared to others. It was a very easy install too. It is big so make sure it will fit into your sink first.

King of disposals
on December 2, 2023
Posted by: Eazyfasheezy
from Ohio
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I couldn't be more pleased with my new insinkerator Evolution 1 HP Garbage Disposal ! This bad boy is a beast! It is easy installation if you're a bit of a handy man. This machine is surprisingly quiet for packing a 1 hp motor! I like that it doesn't bog down no matter what you throw at its way. It very well balanced while running. If you have ever had a cheap disposal then you know that they can shimmy and shake no matter how locked down they are. I highly recommend this disposal , it doesn't disappoint!!
Pros: quiet, gets any job done, balanced
Cons: big
I would recommend this to a friend!

WOW
on December 7, 2023
Posted by: Hsayy
from Texas
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the old garbage disposal that's been in my house since 1997, and let me tell you what a huge upgrade this was for me. I think the blades on my old unit were dull because it would take FOREVER to grind up a lemon. This new one decimates it within seconds. I'm absolutely floored. And it's so much more quiet now. The sound doesn't travel all the way to our bedrooms anymore. Overall, this one is a winner. Very happy with it.
Pros: easy installation, grinds fast, looks good
I would recommend this to a friend!
