Is 1 HP enough for a family kitchen?

Yes. A 1 HP motor handles bones, fruit pits and fibrous vegetables that stall 1/2 HP units. It is more than light households need.

Does it need to be hardwired?

No. The power cord is pre-attached, so it plugs into a standard 120V outlet under the sink. A wall switch or air switch controls it.

What is the difference between continuous and batch feed?

Continuous feed lets you add scraps while the motor runs, controlled by a wall switch. Batch feed runs only with the stopper locked in place, which is safer but slower.

Will it fit my existing sink flange?

It uses a standard 3-bolt mounting and a 1.5-inch drain outlet, so it fits most sink openings. Check clearance under the sink for its 16-inch height.

Does it have a dishwasher inlet?

Yes. A 3/4-inch dishwasher inlet lets you connect the dishwasher drain so it empties through the disposer.
