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?

Does it come with mounting hardware?

It mounts directly to the strainer ring which is included. As a previous poster mentioned, you'll need plumber's putty to set the strainer ring.

Got this one for $80+tax. It's slim so saves space under counter and is 1.25HP, 12-yr warranty. what am I missing? why buy this in OP.

The units that state "stainless steel grinding components" are almost always a reference indicating that only the grinding blades are stainless. The remaining parts that are exposed to food and water are steel (they rust) or plastic composite (they are not strong). Consumer reports and most review sites do not favorably review any disposer with these setups.

So, tell us you didn't click the link without telling us you didn't click the link...

The AS is all stainless with lifetime warranty against corrosion.

How did they see the top bullet that states "All Stainless Steel Grinding Components" if they didn't click the link?

Didn't realize people are just sooo lazy to put a strainer in and just empty a strainer in the trash. That must be some legit hardwork.

I assumed he was talking about the item in this deal, which states that above.

I don't think anyone has made a good case yet why you should pay $160 for this rather than $80 for the American Standard.

I'm not sure at the time you posted that link, but as of now, the black version of that American standard unit is out of stock.

Quote from QuietToddler

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.

Yes some higher horsepower units specifically mention they will chew through bones. My 13 y/o 1hp Insinkerator is rated for that. Of course we don't use it that way, but if one accidentally drops into the unit I'm not going to sweat it.
