    Overview

    An InSinkErator waste disposer is an essential addition to any kitchen where cleanliness is paramount. Grinding food waste into small particles and flushing it into your sewerage system, you won’t have to fiddle with kitchen bins, or the odours they emit, ever again.

    The 56 is a reliable mid-range disposer that’s ideal for a smaller household. Built with sound reduction technology, your food waste will be ground without causing disruption. The 56 achieves an instant grind without the use of blades, instead relying on small lugs attached to a spinning plate. You can install this disposer with the peace of mind it accounts for less than 1% of your total household water consumption.

    Questions & answers

    Does the insinkerator come with the air switch? Winb2 · 2022-06-30
    Good Evening, Thank you for this product question, Yes there is an air switch I'll attach the user manual below for you to download & view as they talk about this feature in the manual. https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/public/manuals/56-InSinkErator-Specifications-Sheet.pdf I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances online.

    What can you put down the insinkerator and what is on the cant list? SusieQ · 2022-06-28
    Good afternoon, Thank you for this product question, this information below is straight from the supplier's website: SOME “DO’S” AND “DON’TS” TO KEEP IN MIND DO grind natural food waste with a moderate flow of ambient cold WATER. DO grind materials such as vegetable scraps, fruit pits, egg shells, pasta, rice, meat scraps etc. DO dispose of coffee grounds in your disposer. DO flush the disposer for self-cleaning. Allow the disposer and ambient cold WATER to run for a few seconds after grinding or draining the sink. DON’T put anything but NATURAL FOOD WASTE into the disposer, ie NO GLASS, STRING OR FEATHERS. DON’T GRIND OYSTER SHELL as the fine sediment may settle in the plumbing. DON’T USE HOT WATER when grinding. Using hot water wastes energy. DON’T PUT FAT, GREASE OR OILS DOWN THE DISPOSER OR ANY DRAIN. DON’T turn the disposer or the water off until grinding is completed and only the sound of the motor and running water is heard. DON’T use SOLVENTS OR CHEMICALS in the disposer. The Evolution® 100 and Evolution® 200 feature unique two and three-stage grinding technology which enables them to grind STRINGY FIBROUS FOOD such as husks, celery, banana peel and onion skins. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online

    Good Afternoon, Thank you for this product question, sorry to say that we do not have an installation on this product, I have used myself a company called Hi-Pages this is a search company for plumbers and services in your local area that is able to provide installation for you, I would get about 3 quotes and select the best one that suits you. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
    Is the charge of $95 including drill a hole to install the switch on sink top?Any additional charges would apply? Anonymous · 2021-11-29
    Good Evening, Thank you for this product question, no that fee is for an onsite inspection to check the sink and what would be involved to install this type of machine. Your sink would need to have the 90mm plug & waste connection ready to go to be able to install this type of unit. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances Online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
