Know before you buy
Standard disposers typically use a single stage to break down waste. The 3-Stage MultiGrind system breaks food into much finer particles, which significantly reduces the risk of clogs in your plumbing.
Yes, the Evolution Excel features SoundSeal Plus technology, which is specifically engineered to dampen noise. It is one of the quietest models available, making it ideal for open-concept living spaces where noise can easily travel.
If you are replacing an existing InSinkErator model, the Quick Lock Mount makes installation very straightforward. You can often simply twist off the old unit and twist the new one into the existing mounting assembly without needing new plumbing.
The unit is equipped with automatic overload and anti-jam protection. If a jam occurs, the motor will detect the resistance and shut down to prevent damage, allowing you to clear the obstruction safely.
The unit operates on standard 120V household power. As long as your existing disposer is connected to a standard grounded outlet or hardwired circuit, this unit should be compatible without electrical upgrades.
This warranty covers both parts and labor for any defects in materials or workmanship for a full decade. If the unit fails under normal household use, InSinkErator will send a professional to your home to repair or replace it at no cost to you.
