Overall Verdict

Since the day of its release, the Advanced Evolution 1.0HP’s superiority has been recognized for its premium build quality and industry-leading technologies. Underneath its streamlined casing and stylized appearance, a powerful 1-horsepower induction motor and stainless steel grinding components make up strong and durable machinery. Additionally, the disposal’s advanced noise treatment, with anti-vibration and sound-dampening details, and 4-stage grinding mechanics designed for finer output further enhance its utility and values.

There’s also an EZ connector that helps immensely with hardwiring the unit. Given its features, the disposal is understandably expensive, but if you’re looking for something premium and long-lasting, this is one of the best. It also comes with InSinkErator’s 10-year We Come to You warranty, ensuring your peace of mind.

7.6 Performance

With a few minor hiccups, the disposal delivered solid results throughout the tests and challenges we put forth. Compared to the others we’ve evaluated, it tends to take its time with the process and releases generally finer and more reassuring output when dealing with common food scraps including fruit pits, corn cobs, or cooked animal bones, greatly reducing the risk of clogging. Its multi-stage grinding also delivered strong results when being challenged by raw bone scraps. It’s not the best with raw bones we’ve evaluated, but it certainly ranks among the top five most powerful units we have tested.
