As one of the most famous manufacturers of kitchen and bathroom products in North America, Moen invented the world's first single-lever hot and cold mixer faucet in 1939, and in 1959 was named one of the best contemporary designs by Fortune magazine. Moen entered the Chinese market in 1994 and became one of the most purchased bathroom faucet brands in North America in 1997. Moen's design tends to be European and minimalist, and the overall atmosphere of the product is natural and simple.
The reason for the garbage disposal business is that Moen's U.S. headquarters wholly acquired the Anaheim manufacturing company in 2014, and the Waste King brand became its natural brand, and Moen also enjoyed Waste King's patented technologies, such as DC motors, grinding technology, etc. On this basis, Moen launched Moen waste disposers in the U.S. market in 2015 and the Chinese market in 2016. Although it has been in development for a relatively short time, it has cooperated with many domestic real estate developers to promote the installation of Moen processors.
Moen's GX series is aimed at the mid-to-high-end market, with prices ranging from 1,700 to 3,700 yuan. At the price of 2000 to 2500 yuan, Moen's GX50, GXP50 and GX75TM are comparable to Kaishanyi's KCD series, the advantage is that the Vortex permanent magnet motor of Waste King is used, the horsepower is about 0.5hp, the grinding speed advantage is large, the particle strength is less than 4mm, and it is not easy to cause sewer blockage, of which GX50 can grind shredded potatoes in 20 seconds, and the noise generated is about 68 to 72dB. In terms of noise immunity, the GX series comes with its own Sound SHIELD sound-absorbing design, which absorbs shock and noise through a sound-absorbing compartment, and the height of the product is 33-40cm, which is quite different.
Drain pipe blockage, processor odor is a problem of high consumer concern, in addition to the reason for the particle fineness is too large, the size of the water pressure affects the flushing effect, because the drain pipe needs to be set to set U bend or P bend, need to reserve a suitable space, it is recommended that after the installation is completed, the distance between the bottom of the processor and the bottom of the cabinet is more than 5cm, the length of the cabinet is more than 23cm, and the circular diameter of the sink needs to be considered, the general diameter is 114mm, the inner diameter is 90mm, and the reducer needs to be purchased separately if it does not meet. In addition, you need to make sure that there is a power outlet under the sink before buying a processor, because the environment under the sink is humid, and there are safety hazards when using power strips.
Compared with Waste King, Moen's biggest advantage lies in the overall design style, the whole series is dominated by black and gray, with minimalist lines, highlighting the calm and elegant tonality, showing the simple design style of Moen's kitchen and bathroom products. As Moen's flagship product, the GX100MCL combines minimalist design and high performance, improving the quality of the motor on the basis of GX75MCL, with a power of up to 550W that can handle the food waste of 7-9 people, and a 40cm height reflects the fashion beauty. Compared with the similar performance of the Kitchen Aid KBDS100T motor quality is better, the design style is more fashionable, the disadvantage is that the warranty time is only 3 years, at the price of more than 3000 yuan, the performance is decent, the competitiveness is average.
