Pros & Cons
Pros
New insinkerator 1hp is much quieter than the previous model. Quieter and way more powerful. Not too loud but very powerful. Just the right amount of horsepower for a family home. For normal household use and compact size, this is great.
The unit is powerful with stainless steel construction. It seems like a sturdy workhorse.
Easy to install. All the parts fit nicely. Use the provided wrench to tighten it up.
Cons
Metallic grinding sound began intermittently. Lasted ok for 2. This is the noisiest garbage disposal i have ever owned. It is about 90db from 2 feet away while operating.
Highlights
Quality
High quality gets the job done as required
A high quality made in america disposal
Packaging/appearance
Hopefully well get as long a use of this as the last one especially with the upgraded stainless steel parts the 1hp has over the badger 5
I put just about anything i can down the drain
My badger 5 failed in a spectacular fashion with a hole blown out the side and leaking everywhere
Competitiveness
It used some plastic plug to hold it in instead of the common screwin romex unit
I had to call in plumber to install another type insinkerator unit evolution excel

I considered buying one of insinkerators newer quieter models

The way the newer units eliminate much of the noise is to use a rubber splash guard designed to create a 34water dam34 to isolate the grinding chamber

Indeed this is effective but it causes what i call 34floaties

I prefer to shove everything down there at once put the strainer in place and grind away

The only exceptions so far are 1 egg shells no point and can stick to plumbing 2 onion skins too thin to grind 3 mango pit it was ground down but not all the way 4 corn husks just made a tangled mess 5 banana peels tangled mess and 6 avocado skins i guess it was like trying to grind leather
