This is the quietest disposal I have ever had. You don't even know it is running. My husband thinks it's too quiet, if that's possible. It makes him think it is not working. It seems to be grinding well and should last, being all stainless inside & out. The price is very high, more than double the regular Insinkerators. We'll see if you get what you pay for.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Standard install, but it's pretty amazing how quite product is compared to other disposals we've owned. The quality of this device is easily apparent.
We've had it installed for only 30 days, or so. But it hasn't struggled grinding anything we've thrown at it. My sense is that it's just going to work...for many years (as demonstrated by the strong manufactures in-house warranty).
Yes, I recommend this product.

This garbage disposal is extremely quiet. I cannot state how long the disposal will last since I have only had it installed for about one month. My previous disposal was an InSinkErator and it lasted 22 years, hopefully this disposal will last that long.

Bought this to replace the contractor-grade Insinkerator disposer that came with our new home when we bought it in 1999. The replacement was due to our purchasing a new sink, and not wanting to retain the 13-year old (but still working fine) original disposer. This Excel is just as it's advertised - super quiet and very efficient in grinding food. It's so quiet that the plumber was not sure when he first activated it that it was working. The ads for the Excel say that you can carry on a normal conversation while its running - we believe you can carry on a whispered conversation while it's running! The Excel's quietness and super grinding capability make us quite happy that we spent the bit extra to purchase this model.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Have had good luck with Insinkerator products for many years, so when we needed a new disposal, was predisposed to this brand. Did research and got great reviews on this model. Installed it very quickly. (Many others have noted that no cord is provided. Our install was to a switch - not to a socket - so was able to use existing wiring. Check this on yours prior to buying a cord - you may not need one!). This thing is as quiet as everyone says. Highly recommend, although it has a high price.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Almost can not hear it running! (Unlike my previous model). Very easy to self install. Not difficult at all to set in place and turn the locking mount bracket. Fittings and clamps all fit snugly with no LEAKS. Easy install, about 15 min including new insinkerator gaskets, etc. to existing drain pipes. Would have preferred to have a plug to the power supply, but connecting the Black and White wiring with ground was easy enough.

My 3/4 HP, 5 yr. warranty "InSinkErator" lasted 13 years, so I had no problem investing a little more for this 1 HP unit. It performs as advertised. Very quite in the stainless steel sink.

The product lives up to its two promises of silent operation and thorough grinding. It is super quiet. I can hardly hear it when it is grinding food scraps. It does a great job of grinding and will very likely prevent future difficulties with pipe stoppage, which I have experienced in the past. That in itself will save on plumbing bills. The seven year warranty and In Home service is very impressive. InSinkErator: certainly one of the great and wonderful things to come out of Racine, Wisconsin among things such things as Danish Kringle, J.I. Case tractors, Horlicks malt, and Johnson and Johnson medical supplies.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Although this model inSinkErator garbage disposal is expensive and worth every penny and worth the investment. It is quiet and has a heavy duty motor.
Our last disposal from this company lasted twenty years in our family home. We are people who cook every night and the garbage disposal truly gets a work out.

Only issue is that design is different than old model. Since this one was shorter, we needed additional pipes to attach it to existing plumbing. Also, old one was controlled through a button inside the machine, which often got stuck. The new one works with a switch, which is much better, but we needed to set up a panel to plug it in. Once my husband installed it, we have been very satisfied. It is an excellent product.
