Overview

Grinding food scraps while the tap runs, the Kraus WasteGuard is a continuous feed disposal that mounts under a kitchen sink on its supplied flange. Power comes from the included cord or a hardwired connection, and metal grinding parts break waste down for the drain.

Flexible power hookup and sound damping make this disposal easy to fit into an existing kitchen. Scraps can go in while the motor turns, so cleanup does not stop. Its housing mixes ABS with steel, and the listing gives no warranty term.

Who it's for

Families who cook daily and scrape plates straight into the sink get the most from it, since waste can be added mid-cycle. Homes that want a batch feed safety design should look at a different style.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Accepts scraps while running
  • Plug-in cord or hardwire option
  • Soundproofing and anti-vibration system
  • Automatic shut-off protects the motor
Cons
  • Warranty length not listed
  • Housing includes ABS plastic
  • Bulky unit takes cabinet space
  • Continuous feed has no batch safety lid

Performance notes

Grinding speed comes from the motor's horsepower rating and the fixed speed of its metal grind parts, which shred scraps against the chamber wall. Noise depends on the soundproofing and the anti-vibration system damping the motor. Feeding scraps gradually with running water lets the jam protection stay out of the way.
