- Is the Kraus Wasteguard powerful enough for bones and fibrous scraps?
- The 1 hp, 3,800 rpm motor handles small bones and most vegetable scraps. Large bones and heavy fibrous waste are better left out, as with any residential disposer.
- How does it compare with a 1/2 hp disposer?
- It grinds faster and jams less on tough scraps, and the insulation makes it quieter. It is also heavier and takes more effort to install.
- Does it need a special sink flange?
- It mounts with a standard 3-bolt sink flange, but check under-sink clearance first. The unit is larger than low-power disposers.
- Is it continuous feed or batch feed?
- It is continuous feed, so you can add scraps while the motor runs. Keep the switch on and run water while feeding.
- What is in the box?
- The disposer, mounting hardware and sink flange are included. A power cord and drain plumbing are usually not.
- Is it quieter than a standard disposer?
- Yes. The noise insulation reduces sound compared with uninsulated units, though it is not silent.
