Evolution Excel

The premium range from InSinkErator – delivering high power with 1HP (one horsepower) motors, low noise through its sound insulation, and multiple grinding stages to ensure even tough food waste is disposed quickly and effectively.

Evolution Compact

As you might guess from its name, this range has all the features of the Essential range but in a smaller unit to fit where there’s restricted space under the sink. A good choice for apartments and smaller kitchens.

Evolution Cover Control Plus

The majority of the other models are continuous operation (that is, you switch them on and then run continuously until you switch them off). This model is InSinkErator’s batch operation model – you feed in the waste through the plughole then fit a cover to the plughole that switches on the unit. It’s great for the safety-conscious and if you’ve got young kids.

InSinkErator Septic AssistEvolution Septic Assist

There’s a special additional container fitted to the side of the Septic Assist that contains a liquid to help break-down the crushed food waste. This is injected into the food waste as the grinding happens and starts to break-down the waste as it travels through the waste pipes. It’s a great way of helping the natural decomposition process and good for environmental issues and if you home feeds into a septic waste tank.
