TOP 7 kitchen sink shredders: 2020 models

Recently, I myself had no idea what a kitchen chopper is. But, moving to a new apartment, the family council agreed that the equipment for the kitchen would be new and modern. There has been a lot of controversy about this device. I will note that I was categorically against: I was worried about the lack of functionality and the place occupied by the device. The hostesses will understand. 2 years have passed since the move, and now I cannot imagine life without him.

Kitchen chopper in the sink - what is it?

To begin with, I will share my knowledge of what constitutes a household appliance. I'm sure many have no idea what it is for. So, a food waste disposer is a device that is installed in a sink. The large flask and sharp blades allow you to deal with a huge amount of waste very quickly. The resulting mixture is sent to the sewer through the supplied pipes.

Disposer - this is the name of the device for grinding food waste.

It has a number of undeniable advantages:

• increases the hygiene of the kitchen area;
• eliminates unpleasant odors;
• becomes a great alternative to the trash can;
• does not allow harmful insects to start.

Thanks to the dispenser, cooking waste is immediately sent to the drain. This removes the rotting smell from the kitchen, which is especially noticeable during the summer months. Flies and other harmful insects do not darken your life, as they simply have nothing to eat.

There are mechanical and electrical models. The second option is more convenient due to the processing speed. A powerful motor allows sharp knives to grind even hard waste at high speed, clearing the sink of debris.

The device appeared in our country relatively recently, but users who have already tried different models in action are actively leaving reviews. We have compiled a kind of rating by analyzing the technical characteristics, functionality and other parameters.

The chopper is a very useful thing in the kitchen.

Most of the devices meet the high requirements of potential buyers. Among the common "minuses" noted by users, in the first place are the noise and the lack of space under the sink for installing a trash can. But these are minor flaws that are easy to get used to.

Which to choose?

When choosing a kitchen appliance, we advise you to pay special attention to its characteristics. The first thing to consider is the power of the device. The more powerful the engine, the faster and easier it will be to dispose of waste.

Also taken into account:

• the material of the grinder elements - knives and a bowl made of stainless steel will last much longer than plastic ones;
• rotation speed - the higher this indicator, the faster the disposal will take place;
• the volume of the crushing chamber - it is calculated optimally, taking into account the free space under the sink and the number of people living in the apartment;
• noise level - most manufacturers reduce the volume of the device due to additional sound insulation (it is good if it fits within the range of 40–45 dB).

If the device is too noisy, it is uncomfortable to be around during operation. Of course, you can get used to it over time, but the neighbors are unlikely to be happy about it. Also, devices are often equipped with a number of additional functions. For example, security systems, waterproofing gates, overload or power surge protections.

The leading shredder companies mentioned in this article offer customers different models of disposers. After objectively assessing the capabilities of the kitchen and calculating the amount of garbage produced, go shopping.
