Our food waste disposers can dispose of most food wast in a matter of seconds. However, certain food types are only recommended for our Evolution models.

Our Evolution models can grind most food waste, and our M-Series models cand grind any food apart from stringy and fibrous materials such as banana peel, celery and rhubarb.

An InSinkErator food waste disposer effortlessly grinds food waste into tiny particles that are flushed down the drain and to the local wastewater treatment plant - where they can be used to create biogas.

What NOT to put down your food waste disposer

There are certain things you should never put down your drain, whether you have a disposer or not.

Please avoid putting fats, oils, harsh cleaning products and other non-food products down your disposer.

Take a look at our infographic to see the difference between our M-series and Evolution food waste disposer.

No, it is as simple as that!

InSinkErator food waste disposers are perfectly safe and don't have blades or knives. Instead, lugs are used to throw food waste against a stationary grind ring. The grind ring breaks food waste down into very fine particles, almost liquefying them, so they can flush down your plumbing.

If you don't believe us watch the video below that demonstrates the how the lugs and grind ring work together inside our food waste disposers to grind up food waste into tiny particles.

Finely ground food waste from a disposer will not block a well-maintained sewer. It is 70% water and has a very similar composition to the human waste that all sewers are designed to handle. An extensive scientific programme at the University of Sheffield is confirming that these concerns are unfounded.

Food waste disposers are very low maintenance appliances. However, if you smell any odours coming from your disposer, it's usually the sign of food build up. Over time, food waste particles can accumulate inside the grind chamber and sink baffle. To clean your disposer, follow these simple steps:

1. Turn off your disposer
2. Remove the sink baffle and clean the underside of the baffle with a scouring pad
3. Place the baffle back in the sinkhole
4. Turn on your disposer and run a medium stream of cold water
5. Place ice cubes mixed with lemon/lime wedges down your disposer to freshen it up
