Know before you buy
No, the InSinkErator Evolution Compact does not include a power cord. You will need to purchase one separately or reuse the cord from your previous disposal if it is compatible.
Standard disposers typically use a single grinding stage, which can leave larger food particles. The 2-Stage MultiGrind system breaks food down into much finer particles, which significantly reduces the risk of clogs in your plumbing.
Yes, the Evolution Compact features SoundSeal Technology, which is designed to dampen noise significantly compared to standard disposers. While no disposal is completely silent, this model is engineered specifically to minimize vibration and grinding noise.
If you are replacing an existing InSinkErator unit, the Quick Lock Sink Mount makes installation very straightforward. You can often twist off the old unit and twist the new one on without needing to replace the sink flange.
This unit includes built-in overload protection. If the motor stops, check for a jam, clear the obstruction, and press the red reset button located on the bottom of the unit to restore power.
No, this model does not feature auto-reverse. However, it is equipped with an anti-jam mechanism designed to keep the grinding process smooth and prevent common blockages.
