As far as I can tell, this is comparable to the Evolution 0.75HP model. This Costco model looks to be the Evolution 3/4 HP in the Power series plastic housing. With the EZ Connect cord as an added bonus!.
The normal Evolution 3/4 (without the EZ Connect cord), is currently going for $229 on Amazon.

Going down the list of features/details, the only differences that I see are:
Plastic housing/SoundSeal technology difference - Costco model lacks it (they call it the Full Trim Shell). The marketing language indicates 80% quieter than standard series for the normal Evolution vs 70% for the Power series.
EZ Connect Cord INCLUDED with the Costco model. NOT INCLUDED with the normal Evolution model.
Costco's version has 1 year less warranty (8 years vs 9 years)
Motor looks to be the same and language for the grinder chamber specs are the same. Seems they are differentiating the highest model (1HP) with the additional grinder chamber specs and plastic housing for sound reduction.
So this Costco model looks to be the Evolution 3/4 HP in the Power series plastic housing. With the EZ Connect cord as an added bonus!.

Installed it a couple weeks ago, no issues with it at all so far. All stainless inside, lifetime corrosion (whatever "lifetime" really means lol) warranty.
It works, it's not too loud, just makes a "clink" (normal, per the manual) when you turn it on.
if you happen to be on septic, definitely don't do it.
even for the rest on sewer system, why you putting stuff down your sink/pipes that requires Jeffrey Dahmer type crushing power?
Go figure it would be cheaper at Costco just a few months later!
It was very easy to install and works super well. Unbelievably quiet. If you're doing self-install, obviously just make sure the dimensions fit and you have electrical present. I think the only thing additional I had to use was plumber's putty
Can't tell if you're joking or not about using it to grind bones. I didn't think you're really just supposed to toss any and everything down your disposal, no matter how robust it is
(I've heard to use ice cubes even more though.)
So while I don't think huge beef bones are the way to go, the occasional chicken bone isn't going to even phase a decent disposer. Even my lousy Badgers do fine with those.

I am highly suspicious of the effective horsepower and quality of the 1.25HP American Standard. I don't see how they produce a long-lasting motor at nearly twice the rated horsepower and sell it for 1/2 the price.

I'm not joking. We cook a lot of chicken dishes/bone brothers and sometimes cleaning we get bones down there. I'm buying this unit for this specific reason since my Badger 5 gave up a little over 2 years old (outside of warranty), I also want it to grind watermelon shell as I don't want to dispose them in my garbage can.
