InSinkErator InSinkErator brand introduction

InSinkErator has a history of more than 90 years and invented the world's first garbage disposer. As a brand of Emerson Electric Company, a Fortune 500 company, InSinkErator has already become the world's largest garbage disposer manufacturer, with an annual output of more than 6 million units. The sales network is distributed in more than 100 countries and regions around the world, and even in the Chinese market, InSinkErator has long dominated the market.
 
InSinkErator pays special attention to product research and development, with 300 patents in the protection period and more than 20 international awards, including the 2008 Effie Award, the 2008 NSPE-PEI National New Product Award and the 2014 "QUIET MARK" Silent Award. In addition, Emerson's (China) Electric Co., Ltd., the parent company of InSinkErator, was the drafting unit for two national standards for waste disposers in China.
 
In the evaluation of the garbage disposer by Consumer Reports in the United States, InSinkErator has a total of 4 products on the list, of which 3 are the Evolution series, which is one of the brands with the largest number of products on the list, ranking among the top in the grinding speed and particle fineness scores.
 
At present, well-known brands at home and abroad, such as Waste King, Kitchen Aid, Baker Bass, etc., all use DC motors, which have fast speed and more delicate grinding bones than ordinary AC motors, but InSinkErator still uses Emerson's Dura-Drive AC motors, because the AC motors have good load resistance, and the speed of the idling and grinding processes is basically the same and more stable. Emerson has technical advantages in motor optimization, less noise, longer service life, the use of 360-degree rotation of the grinding hammer in the grinding disc structure, with the characteristics of AC motor with small speed and high torque, the "compression" grinding of food waste, the grinding capacity is comparable to that of DC motors, and it also has spiral scouring technology, which can quickly discharge residues.
 
InSinkErator's low-to-medium price products, the price starts from 1400 yuan, using InSinkErator's first-level grinding technology, using two grinding hammers and the serration on the grinding ring for grinding, but there is no rotating blade at the bottom of the grinding disc, the fineness of the grinding particles is medium to large, and the grinding capacity is not as good as the products of the same grade using DC motors, the biggest selling point is the top noise immunity, the decibel is about 60db when running at no load, and the working noise is between 60 and 85db.
 
At a price of less than 2000 yuan, M56 is the best entry-level processor, 0.5hp horsepower can handle food waste for less than 3 people, and can grind vegetable leaves, fish bones, etc. within 30 seconds, which is very convenient to install, and the brand's patented Quick-Lock quick locking assembly is used to connect the basin drain and the processor, which is stable and not heavy, but the lack of a filter basket may cause chopsticks and spoons to fall in, and the drain pipe needs to be purchased separately. "Medal" is a cost-effective model launched by InSinkErator and JD.com, with a similar configuration to M56 and a price of only 1500 yuan.
 
At a price of more than 2000 yuan, the mute ability has been strengthened, and the planet series has added silencing cotton inside, and the design combines the theme of environmental protection, and the particles after grinding the small bones are more delicate. Consumers often use citrus juice or lemon slices when cleaning the inside of the processor, but citric acid can corrode metal parts, while the Planet Series P10 provides a cleaning brush that can store dish soap inside, push the brush into the processor and press the silicone button, and the small hole of the brush head will spray dish soap, making cleaning more convenient. But if the garbage is stuck inside the machine, you need to unplug the power socket, observe whether there are foreign objects in the grinding chamber, take it out, if there is one, you need to take a hex wrench and insert it into the small circle position in the middle of the bottom of the machine, turn it left and right to let go when it is looser, and then plug in the power, turn on the faucet and start the machine.
 
At a price of more than 3,000 yuan, InSinkErator's Evolution series and Royal Jue series are at the leading level in the entire industry, and the Evolution series is equipped with an automatic reversal function, which can switch the direction of rotation and grind repeatedly, which is relatively rare among commercially available products. The Imperial series and E100 are both at the price level of 3,000 to 3,500 yuan, among which the Imperial is oriented to the eating habits of Chinese families, using first-level grinding technology, and the edge of the grinding hammer is changed to a smooth streamlined design, which is more suitable for grinding hard food waste, and the particle fineness is comparable to that of the Planet series P10. E100 is better than the Royal Jux in terms of noise resistance level and grinding ability, 4 sharp knife ears are added to the grinding disc, the kitchen waste will be constantly hit, the fineness is smaller than the Royal Jue, it only takes more than ten seconds to grind chicken bones, the fineness is smaller than the Royal Jue, and the noise level is much quieter than the M56, and the number of decibels of the close-range noise when processing vegetables is only about 73db.
 
E200 is the flagship product of InSinkErator, priced at around 6500 yuan, and the 1180ml grinding chamber does not require much cabinet installation space. On the basis of E100, the use of microchip control system and induction motor, there is a rotating blade under the grinding, facing pork bones, plant fibers and other difficult to grind food waste are at ease, the particle fineness is within 1.5mm, far lower than the national standard of 6.4mm, E100 and other series of grinding cavities do not have this blade. The use of Sound Seal technology at the noise level is 60% quieter than that of the M56, and won the 2014 "QUIET MARK" silence award. The E200 has a comprehensive score of fifth in the U.S. Consumer Reports, the fineness of the particles is the best, and it is rated as the best quality high-end product in the Best Reviews review website.
 
If you don't care too much about noise, it is not recommended to choose products below 2000 yuan for InSinkErator, which has a grinding capacity that is not as good as other brands at home and abroad that use DC motors. The core advantage of 2000-3000 yuan products is noise resistance, good grinding ability, and great competitiveness; High-end products of more than 3,000 yuan use the most advanced grinding and muting technology, and are the most competitive in the market. Since the height of most products is more than 30cm, it is suitable to go from the bottom of the sink to the bottom of the cabinet above 40cm. InSinkErator provides door-to-door installation, it is recommended to test grind once after installation, if the water level of the water pipe is too low and the water backwater phenomenon occurs, the installer can modify it on the spot.
