InSinkErator Evolution 200 S Waste Disposal Unit with Air Switch - Food Waste Disposal Unit for Sink Use w/Instruction Manual - Kitchen Sink Accessories and Gadgets - 33 x 23.4 x 33 cm - Red

I fitted this as a replacement for my ancient Model 75 and it was a straight swap, although I had to cut off the securing bolts of the old one with an angle grinder to get it out. It was relatively easy to fit single-handed once I built up some support below to hold it in position while aligning it into the plughole. As most people have commented, it is VERY quiet compared to older models. This is largely due to the silicone baffle which sits in the opening. The older units had a fixed baffle which sat below the sink flange. The Evolution range's baffle is pushed in from above, similar to the plug. It's possible to accidentally push the baffle down into the disposer while shoving a whole chicken carcass down its throat! If you run it without the baffle, it's noisy and splashy. The new plug is improved over older models in that it is able to 'pop up' in position and can be used instead of the baffle to keep splashing down while still allowing water to flow into the grinding chamber. You can use the plug with or without the baffle in position. I am very impressed with the capability of the Evolution 200S. I would never have dreamed of putting fresh sweetcorn cores down the Model 75 but the 200S gobbles them up with ease. The table does say you can put almost anything down it, but I'm not sure I'd expect it to grind avocado stones. The only issue I have with this model is poor water flow. I actually rang up Insinkerator customer service for advice. They weren't much help, but I worked out that it's the silicone baffle which is causing the issue. The design of the baffle causes an air bubble to form beneath it which slows the flow. You can solve this by sticking a washing up brush down to disperse the bubble, but it does re-form as more air is drawn down with the flowing water. I'm considering using a hole punch to create some venting holes in the baffle where air is getting trapped. This might make it a little more noisy, but probably worth it to reduce the risk of the drain getting blocked due to poor water flow.

Great, does the job. just make sure your plumbing is suitable for it. Oh, and it's pretty silent too!

The existing model 75 (10 y+ old) developed a problem that wasn't fixable. It provided 10y of great service with multiple users unfamiliar with what could be put down. I was happy to buy the same make, but concerned that after 10y, the manufacturer would have made "tweaks" meaning the plumbing wouldn't fit nor the top plate that sits in the sink. However, I was pleasantly surprised none of that was the case. I simply unscrewed the side drain pipe, unscrewed the air-pipe actuator, rotated the lock nut under the sink holding the main unit to the underside of the sink, and it came straight off. The new Evo 200 was an exact fit for the locknut, and the plumbing exhaust on the side. It took less than 10 minutes. Whilst I had the plumbing undone, I took the time to flush out the drain pipes, undo all of them where possible, soak them in drain fluid (I use plain caustic soda) etc to remove the built up food detritus and congealed fat. The pipe was almost blocked, so I'll attend to that more regularly in future. It worked, with a bit of tightening up the drain connectors. It is *much* quieter than the old model. Outstanding product.

Great dispenser works well, and is easy to install

This disposal has been an outstanding addition to the kitchen. Very quiet, efficient, and eats up everything we’ve thrown at it in the past three years. However it made a grinding noise, then stopped working. We were frustrated as Amazon couldn’t help, so we called the manufacturer who was very helpful, and kindly asked us to make sure power was off/unplugged; then asked us to dish around to see if anything had fallen in there. My wife said she pulled out a chewed up 20p coin! The manufacturer then asked her to press the reset button on the bottom of the unit, and it started working just like new. Who knew (or remembered) there was a reset button! So if you need a disposal to chew up 20p coins then this isn’t the right one for you! 😆 Otherwise it’s been an ideal purchase, and would highly recommend.

Installation was easy, all work well for one day. Then, the air switch stopped working and it is not possible to switch off the Food Waste Disposal unless unplugged from power. Since this happens after 2 day, I'm allowed to send it back to Amazon. However what I'm supposed to do meanwhile?? I cannot use the kitchen zinc when the Food Wast is out. I was trying to communicate Amazon to get a support of local rep here in Israel but so far could not get their response

Bought this to replace the Insinkerator model 45 that decided to leak from its bottom after many years of service. Despite this one being larger and heavier, it was quick and easy to install, just needed to adjust the original plumbing a bit. Compared to the model 45, it is very quiet and grinds the food easily and it works much better on things like orange peel. The only slight criticism is that it's so quiet, it's hard to tell when the hopper is empty!

Great product. No longer have to have a stinky recycle bin underneath my sink. Only downside was installation. Due to the way I have my sink it was awkward attaching unit to the base which attached to the sink.

Just had to buy one small part to suit Australian plumbing

Me gusta mucho

Ist neben dem Geschirrspüler mein neuer bester Freund in der Küche 👍 Das einzig Negative an dem Teil ist dass ich da nicht schon viel früher draufgekommen bin....😎

Bonjour le produit est tombé en panne en 6 mois d'utilisation , pouvez vous me dire comment le renvoyer pour le faire echanger ou me faire rembourser Merci

Non dover più buttare l'organico, non aver più sacchetti puzzoni, che sgocciolano, è impagabile. Ho aspettato un po' a fare la recensione. Ce l'ho da 2 mesi e ci ho buttato di tutto. Trita la qualunque, fino alle ossa di pollo. Con le cose più dure come, appunto le ossa di pollo, le bucce di limone, fa rumore, per il resto è silenziosissimo. Ho usato la parola tritare, ma non trita niente, non ha lame. Ha 2 martelletti che spingono la roba verso una centrifuga sui bordi. Come dispositivo è molto sicuro e si riesce a montare senza avere competenze di idraulica. Mi ha messo in difficoltà l'attacco della lavastoviglie, perché non avevo capito che dovevo bucare l'attacco manualmente con cacciavite e martello in modo un po' terrificante, quindi la lavastoviglie non scaricava e mi inondava la cucina. Ci ho messo un paio di giorni a capirlo... Le capsule di caffè biodegradabili non le smaltisce, purtroppo quelle devono andare nel bidone dell'indifferenziato. Ogni tanto i martelletti interni si incastrano, e allora comincia a far molto rumore. A quel punto basta buttare qualche cubetto di ghiaccio e va tutto a posto. L'ho messo in grave difficoltà con dei semi di dattero che non eliminerò mai più con il dissipatore, perché si sono spezzettati incastrandosi nei buchi laterali della centrifuga e non riusciva più ad eliminarli con il risultato che per sicurezza faceva continuamente girare il motore a vuoto e il tasto di accensione non rispondeva più. Ho imparato in questo frangente la tecnica dei cubetti di ghiaccio: per sbloccarlo si riempie di cubetti, e in un attimo va tutto a posto. In 2 mesi l'ho messo in difficoltà 3 volte impegnandomi a fondo. La prima con una carcassa di pollo che ho spinto dentro tutta in una volta e di cui un ossicino aveva bloccato un martelletto, risolto con uno spiedino, qui ho capito che le ossa di pollo vanno messe dentro a pezzetti poco per volta, la seconda volta che l'ho bloccato è stato, appunto, con i semi di dattero risolta con il ghiaccio, la terza questo pomeriggio con una fogliolina di un torsolo di cachi che si è incastrata sotto uno dei martelletti incastrandolo. Anche stavolta con pochi cubetti di ghiaccio si è risolto tutto. W il dissipatore di rifiuti, W i cubetti di ghiaccio!
