Thinking of getting Insinkerator Evolution Essential or if we should
get their Premier model with the Auto reverse grind system sold only
at Lowe's. Both are the same price, Essential has 6yr Premier has 5yr
warranty. I'm thinking auto reverse may be more complicated and
susceptible to failure. Any input would be appreciated.
Don't over-think it. Buy whichever has the same dimensions as the old
one (if possible) and uses the same style of ring on the top end, to
make the changeout easier. Quality of metal used and quality of
assembly, is more important than bells and whistles or warranty. A
mid-range model with the thicker and better shell, grinder, and
gaskets, should last many years if you don't abuse it. (IOW, actual
food and bone scraps belong in the trash, not down the drain. The
disposal is only for stuff that sticks to the plates and pots.)

This is our first. We're hooking up to sewer & water and the wife would
really appreciate it. I agree about abuse.

Hi,
Nothing will withstand abuse. My house always had Insinkerator. None of
them gave us trouble.
