The Evolution Essential(R) featuring Multigrind technology does what standard food waste disposers cannot, handles far more volume, and makes far less racket -- a perfect solution for a wide variety of kitchens.

Our powerful multigrind food waste disposers are the right choice when replacing an existing unit or designing a brand-new kitchen. You can choose between five Evolution models, including Evolution Septic Assist(R), designed specifically for homes with septic systems.

With an InSinkErator(R) food waste disposer in your kitchen, chicken bones, fruit rinds, coffee grounds and more can go right in the sink -- where they're virtually liquefied to safely flow into your sewage system or septic tank. You'll enjoy a cleaner food preparation area, and less bagged garbage cluttering your home.

Quiet and Effiecient

Date: May 22, 2010

"It was a great disposal. The reason that I got it was it was suppose to grind up chicken bones and my last 2 ones were short lived. I was pleasantly surprised on quiet, quick and powerful this unit was. Just remember to take out the plug if you have a dishwasher"

Quiet! - I Can Hardly Hear The Garburetor!!

Date: August 28, 2009

"Replaced badly scratched/chipped kitchen sink and leaking kitchen faucet, so also decided to replace a 6-year old builder-grade disposer (Insinkerator Badger) as well. Nothing was wrong with the old disposer, but just wanted something a little quieter. This ESSENTIAL disposer has really good soundproofing - it's many times quieter than the Badger. Installed myself - easy (but slightly awkward) to install. If using existing disposer power supply, be sure to mark wires appropriately! No leaks. This is a good buy."

I have a waste disposal from the 80's; model 77-32; how do I find one thats similar?

A. The best way to find a comparable disposal is if you know the horsepower, grinding chamber size, and exterior size for a matchup.

Can I change the flange and stopper? I think I need an extended flange for my Rohl's fireclay sink. Also, can I use an air switch for this garbage disposal?

A. Rohl offers an extended disposer flange ISE10082 to pair with their fireclay and apron fronted sinks. You can install the STS00 air switch kit provided you drill an extra faucet hole drilling in the countertop or have an available opening on the sink.
