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.

Here are the technical spec sheets from InSinkErator for these two units:

Performance Plus C5000: https://mobilecontent.costco.com/..._Sheet.pdf
Evolution 0.75HP: https://insinkerator.emerson.com/...015836.pdf

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!.

The Evolution 0.75HP (without the EZ Connect power cord), is currently going for $229: https://www.amazon.com/InSinkErat...H8PVY?th=1
I got the American Standard last year and am quite happy with it.
any reason to get this over the American Standard Slim Line on sale for 79.99?

I got the non-slim, 5/8hp model for $72:

https://www.lowes.com/pd/American...5013366607

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.

dang, peeps, this is overkill for a garbage disposal.

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?
Why are you answering your own questions?

I bought this for $220 on Amazon (it was on sale at the time), minus a $25 courtesy credit Amazon gave me (I forget why), so $195 net, plus tax.

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

Just what I'm looking for, this can grind bones. If you cook everyday this is worth it due to the years of warranty. A bit overkill for most households.

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 have no idea if it's just "an old wives tale" or not but I've heard (many times) you're supposed to put bones down your disposal every few months to sharpen the blades (or keep them sharp?)

(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.

It actually lists bones as one of the items it's designed for, so there's that.

Most of the disposers, and especially all the cheap ones have thin little cutting heads. These just don't have enough inertia when they hit the waste. You end up with larger waste in the drain causing more frequent clogs. Something like this or the evolution series on which it is based has heavy cast cutting heads that absolutely pulverize the waste. The amount of time I've spent on mysl back under the sink clearing out other disposers makes the price of the evolution easily worth it. The price of the this Costco model is a no brainer.

Great price for a solid unit, particularly as it comes with the cord and the gasket for the drain assembly, neither of which come with the similar models from the big box stores. I really like the removable sink baffle so it can be thrown in the dishwasher. It is no quieter than my previous Insinkerator Badger.

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.

The US made Emerson motor is reason enough for me.
