Founded in Switzerland in 1911, Franke Group is the world's first manufacturer of European-style smoke machines, with annual sales of more than $3 billion. It is the world's largest manufacturer of sinks, thanks to more than 100 years of manufacturing experience, and is particularly good at the design of sink products, having won the IF Design Award in 2013.
 
Franke entered the Chinese market in 1995 and in 2009 provided Chinese consumers with a complete set of kitchen equipment for the home, including garbage disposals. Unlike traditional garbage disposer manufacturers such as InSinkerator, Waste King, and Baker Bass, Franke's core business is the production of sink products, and unlike Moen, it does not have the patented technology of sub-brands such as Waste King, so there is a certain gap with processors on the market.
 
Franke is divided into FWD series and LD series, and a total of 4 models are available. The FWD series is for mass consumption, and the price is 1200-2000 yuan. The power of FWD 100 is as high as 745W, and the price is 2000 yuan, which is only one-third of the same 1 horsepower and 750 power Baker Bass F6, which is lacking in average noise immunity. In the 1,000 yuan price range, the FWD 34 WH has 0.75hp horsepower and 4000rpm, which is 300 yuan cheaper than the Waste King 9950 with similar performance, which is suitable for medium-sized families who pursue high cost performance.
 
LD series is aimed at the mid-to-high-end market, and the price is between 2300-3200 yuan. The power of the flagship LD930-B01 is as high as 930W, the horsepower is 1.25hp, it is a relatively rare processor in China, which can handle more than 8 people's kitchen waste, the price is 3100 yuan, the use of suspended rotatable stainless steel cutter head, multi-level flexible crushing technology and secondary crushing function, grinding bones are more delicate than the FWD series, but the shortcomings are obvious, the noise is between 66 and 76dB, and the noise resistance is poor.
 
Similar to Westerm, Franke's full range uses high-precision dynamically balanced grinding discs for shock absorption, Bio Shield antimicrobial technology to reduce odors generated by bacteria, and is equipped with protection functions such as overload, overpressure, overtemperature, and time delay, as well as stainless steel double-layer cover brushes and double-layer multi-angle splash guards, which are highly practical.
 
At a price of less than 2,000 yuan, the FWD 100 is a cost-effective model worth buying; If the family size is particularly large, the LD930-B01 with up to 1.25 horsepower is the best choice, and there is currently no official sales channel in China, so you need to buy it on foreign e-commerce platforms such as Amazon.
