Garbage Disposal Service

 

* In-Sink-Erator

InSinkErator is a company and brand name, known for producing garbage disposal (garburator) systems. The company was founded in Racine, Wisconsin by John Hammes, an architect. Hammes is credited with inventing the garbage disposal in 1927.

The company is now a division of Emerson Appliance Solutions, part of Emerson (NYSE: EMR), a global technology and engineering company which serves industrial, commercial, and consumer markets.

The name is a play on the word "incinerator" and refers to the fact that the disposal unit, which works by crushing and shredding solid kitchen waste, is located usually in the sink.

In 2006 In-Sink-Erator changed their name to InSinkErator®, and redesigned the company logo to a more appealing appliance logo. They also released the Evolution™ product line of disposers.

 

* WASTE DISPOSER MODELS


Some of these pages make it sound like I'm a spokesman for In-Sink-Erator. I assure you, I am not associated with the company. But, here in the US, In-Sink-Erator is the company to beat. Lots of companies offer disposers, but In-Sink-Erator makes the vast majority of disposers sold in this country.
There are some benefits to this near-monopoly situation. In-Sink-Erator offers several accessories, and when you decide you need one they are really easy to find. The rubber flap doohickey that you jamb scraps through may eventually wear out, and you can get a new one at any place that sells In-Sink-Erator models.

Finally, note that the sink flange attachments that In-Sink-Erator disposers use are the same, regardless of which model you get. And they've been the same for years. If you ever have to replace a unit, you may learn to appreciate that standardization. Y'see, installing the flange into the sink is the hardest part of installing a disposer. Once in, sealed, and tightened down, you just hold the disposer up to it and turn a lock ring. It's in, you just need to connect the outlet pipe. So, if the old disposer is an In-Sink-Erator, you don't even have to fool with the flange; just drop the old unit, slap in the new, and save the new flange parts as spares. And you can upgrade from a cheapie to a better unit just as easily.
