Know before you buy
Continuous feed means you can add food waste to the disposer while the motor is running. It is designed for quick, ongoing cleanup as you cook, rather than requiring you to fill a batch and cover it before starting.
The MultiGrind technology uses two stages to break down food scraps more thoroughly than a single-stage model. This process helps liquefy waste into finer particles, which significantly reduces the risk of clogs in your plumbing.
It features SoundSeal Technology, which is engineered to dampen noise during operation. While no disposer is completely silent, this model is designed to be 40% quieter than standard disposers, making it much less disruptive during kitchen cleanup.
Yes, this model includes a dedicated dishwasher drain connection, allowing you to route your dishwasher's waste directly through the disposal system.
This unit is equipped with overload protection to prevent motor damage. If it stops, check for a jam, clear it, and then press the manual reset button located on the unit to restore power.
No, the stainless steel components include the grinding chamber and the sink flange. This material choice is important because it resists corrosion and rust, which are common issues for disposers constantly exposed to water and food acids.
