InSinkerator Model 46 Food Waste Disposal Unit without Air Switch
Model 46 food waste disposer
The Model 46 instantly disposes of household food waste. The unit effortlessly grinds food waste and flushes it through your plumbing to wastewater treatment. The practical choice for small households
Safe, Sustainable, with Fine Grind, perfect for small households and individuals
Responsible & Sustainable
A common misconception is that a food waste disposer works like a standard bin or composting unit. However, the reality is far different.
An InSinkErator food waste disposer is fitted under most domestic sinks, connected to the wastewater outlet. InSinkErator food waste disposers are perfectly safe and don’t have blades or knives. Food waste is fed into the food waste disposer with cold water and the waste is ground down into small particles which flush easily through the wastewater system to wastewater treatment plants.
Instead of rotting in your home, food waste can be ground in your disposer and sent to wastewater treatment plants where it can yield valuable biogas and other vital soil nutrients.
Food waste disposers divert around 20 per cent of household waste away from landfill and have been shown to have a smaller carbon footprint than kerbside collection.
Safe & Basic noise operation
It has basic noise-level operation and is quieter than many other disposers on the market.
InSinkErator food waste disposers are perfectly safe and don’t have blades or knives. Instead, deep inside the disposer and far beneath the sink surface, there is a grinding plate with lugs that are used to ‘throw’ food waste against a stationary grind ring. This breaks food waste down to almost liquid form.
Fine grind food waste disposal
The Model 46 offers a practical food waste disposal solution. It has a 1-stage grind system to break food waste down into fine particles that can be flushed through your plumbing to wastewater treatment. All of our M Series models can dispose of most food waste, including chicken bones. However, stringy and fibrous materials such as banana peel are only recommended for our Evolution models.

Finalmente ho smesso di buttare ogni giorno l’umido
di contro non ha nel pacco il comando remoto e bisogna stare attenti a ci che si mette a tritare.. le verdure filamentose ostruiscono i tubi
Ia descrizione per cosa si pu usare e poco dettagliata,tritando infatti dei finocchi si e intassato tutto lo scarico
L’ho preso in sostituzione del modello che gi avevo della stessa marca ed ottimo per famiglie per 2-3 persone.
Installato senza problemi, necessita solo un un interruttore da comprare a parte.
This is a direct replacement for the older 45 model, you just need to use the original pipe work with this new model as the newer supplied pipe work is slightly different, but using the old pipe work it is literally a 10 minute job to swap over, hope this one lasts 15 years like the old model did, very robust units
It works but I wasn’t at all clear (because who would imagine that a waste disposal could come without a switch!) that such a thing existed!
Just bought the next model which simply replaced the last one no fuss
This is just a perfect device that replaced my old one exactly.. A little tricky to install – as there is not much room under the sink but works a treat and seems a little quieter than the old one.
I could not beat the price and is therefore great value for money. Insinkerator is the market leading waste disposal unit provider and are highly recommended. Really happy customer.
Macht bisher was er soll. Ist auch sehr gut mit Deutschen Anschlssen kompatibel
Somewhat difficult to lift into place in limited cupboards as very heavy. Needs at least 3 hands and strong arms! Otherwise good value. Replaced Model 45. Slight pipe change required.
Hemos tenido un triturador de esta marca durante ms de 20 aos sin problemas y no hemos dudado en reponerlo por otro de la misma marca.
This was bought as a replacement for a completely different manufacturer’s model which finally failed after many years of faithful service.
This one is much quieter than its predecessor and more powerful. The instructions for fitting it were excellent – good diagrams, good use of English, very clear and unambiguous. The plumbing was entirely compatible with the old one so no issues there. I also like the fact that the rubber fingers through which you must feed the device are fastened to the device itself – on its predecessor this just sat in the bottom of the tube and eventually it got lost.
As per one of the other reviews, my wife and I struggled to hold it firmly in place with sufficient pressure to get all 3 zones of the fitting to grip at the same time. Towards the end I figured I would have to follow suit and use a car jack to support it – that’s when it dawned on me that our cars today don’t come with a jack and we might have to borrow one – but one final effort from us both and we did succeed in getting it up high enough, with enough force, and held level to get the fitting to grip.
Let’s hope it now gives as good a service as its predecessor.
This model doesn’t use a pressure switch – our kitchen has a switch on the wall hence we intentionally chose the model that does not have the pressure switch. We just cut the plug off and connected it in the same way as its predecessor (via a junction box to a fused spur).
Works perfectly had this a few years now with no problems would buy this product agai
Fantastic little unit that I found easy to install. One other thing that I think everyone should know is the fact that the customer service is second to none. Helped me out with the little problem I had straight away, so I would highly recommend that you buy from this company
Hard to install and had to order additional parts, but once it was in it works well and love using it to grind food up rather than having a smelly bin!
This was a replacement to my last one which lasted about 4 years I think, was nervous about fitting it – all very easy and working perfectly and at the price it is good value for money
it is very good and it is very quite which is grea
The seals on my very old one went so replaced with this new but ultimately the same model, quick job no problems happy days
I love this product cuts down my bin waste by nearly half. Easy to install, clear instructions. My only criticism is this model does not come with the button so you would have to buy this separately.. (which could work out more expensive than the next midel up) unless this is a replacement for you. Also I feel it is quite noisy- and the jump in price to the next model is quite high so if you don’t mind the noise for a few seconds… i would recommend this model.
Easy to fit in place of worn out 45 model. No air switch (fine for me) but be careful if you need an air switch.
Last model lasted over twenty years so changed to new model no problems every house should have one first class product ! old one became noisy so changed it ?
Io ne ho avuti altri, anche uno di marca diversa, ma posso dire che questo marchio una garanzia per i trita rifiuti. un ottimo rapporto qualit prezzo, leggermente rumoroso ma accettabile. Montato facilmente. Arrivato puntuale e velocemente.
A doddle to install and much better at macerating food waste than the old British built unit which burnt out after only 18 months service and constantly sent solid lumps down the drain causing blockages – bonus the new unit is quieter too !!
Sono molto soddisfatto del prodotto .qualit prezzo ,ottimo . grazie saluti enrico
I had had my previous one for 22 years so getting one that was very similar was great.
This replaced a previous model InSinkErator; straight swap. Works fine
I have had one of these previously and, for a very hard-working item, it lasted well and did the job perfectly.
A great replacement for the model 45 which is a few years old.
My old one broke got this as a replacement works well
I attempted to replace my insinkerator myself – not wishing to pay for a professional. I am elderly and primarily an administrator. Nevertheless, after great effort I succeeded in replacing my existing insinkerator – satisfactio
Preis Leistung OK.
Reicht fr kleinen Haushalt, hat keinen Druckschalter benutzte aber sowieso Funkschalter.
Mahlwerk leiser wie vom Vorgnger.
Finger weg von den Billigheimer im Interne
Really pleased with this product. It was simple to install and works effectively with little noise.
Estamos encantados, ni olores ,ni moscas el incordio de sacar todos los das la basura sobre todo cuando comemos pescado que son bastantes…….
Nohace mucho ruido, pero silencioso no es
Second one in ten years. Works well.
Fitting upside down a bit tricky as it is also reasonably heavy.
Very pleased with this. Needed it to replace existing one which was old. Does the job nicely.
A bitch to install. Two minutes to take the old one off. Nearly two hours to fit the new one. Very heavy. Trying to line up and hold up while fixing, very difficult. When eventually fitted works really well.
Silenzioso e veloce nel tritare i rifiuti. Facile il montaggio.
Ich bin sehr berzeugt von diesem Produkt wrde mir keines mehr von einer anderen Marke kaufen.
Remplacement d un broyeur franke. Adapt en 15′ sans remplacer la partie haute sous vier.
Arrived on time, fiddly to install but the instructions were excellent and now works perfectly. Recommended
Excellent product this was a replacement for one installed in 2007
Price was good. Had the 45 So had good experience and the 46 is replaceme
Ottimo prodotto, ottimo rapporto qualit – prezzo. Unica pecca le istruzioni: in varie lingue, tranne l’italiano.
Item arrived a couple of days in advance of advised date. Very simple to fit and install and works perfectly.
Dieser Artikel wird in Europa kaum beworben. Sind ihn von den USA gewohnt. Gutes Preis/Leistungsverhltnis. Leicht zu installieren.
Il nome dell’azienda produttrice una garanzia, in pi il venditore l’ha offerto ad un prezzo competitivo, meglio di cos….
Das ist schon mein Zweiter Zerkleinerer, der erste hat 15 Jahre gehalten.
Prompt arrival, easy fitting, appears to work well. Was a replacement for a type 45.
Fr den normalen Haushaltsgebrauch sehr gut, praktisch und pflegeleicht.
Wrde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen.
After consulting the UK distributor of the InSinkErator, I placed an order which arrived the very next day – two days earlier than predicted!
The equipment came with very clear installation instructions. However there was a problem connecting the waste pipes – the distributor said that the new model 46 was fully compatible with the previous model 45 in terms of connections. This advice has proved to be incorrect, and I am still finding difficulty in connecting the new model to my waste system.
Once this problem is solved I am sure the InSinkErator will perform well.
Looks good, very heavy and waiting for it to be plumbed into my new my new sink that is waiting to be plumbed i
Fitting involves lifting with one hand while rotating a locking ring with the other. I found this hard because the disposer has to be pressed firmly onto the rubber seals and kept very straight to engage all three locking tags. In the end I lifted it on a small car jack! Otherwise installation was straightforward
The old one was solid – would not turn when property purchased. This replacement one fitted easily and has worked perfectly.
Bon produit mais notice insuffisante et ncessits d’accessoires pour prise anglaise et kit pour vacuation.
Il faut acheter le kit vacuation, si vous tes bricoleur.
Vous pouvez couper le cble lectrique la base de la prise, et mettre une prise europenne.
Quieter and more powerful than the model it replaced (Model 45) and easy to fi
Its hard to get excited about a waste disposal unit but this is extremely quiet and very handy for food scraps and waste when peeling carrots etc.
A great replacement as my last one lasted about 14 years and hopefully this will be the same.
Seems to work as well as the last one. Hope it lasts as long as the old one did. Easy to fit, as some of the old basic fittings were able to be utilised.
Straight swap for the old unit and easy to fit.
Excellent product. Good price. Fast delivery. Took the plumber about 45 mins to fi
Spot on and fitted exactly where last one was with no fuss
It does what it says on the tin – and quietly to boot!
Great waste disposal. Replaces the one we had for 15 years. Fitted straight onto the original collar/plug/drain in the sink.
No point buying the expensive version.
This worked perfectly fir all these years and then simply rusted through.
Easy to install on new 1.5 sink. More vibration than I would like and no remote power switch. But for cost and clears domestic food waste it’s awesome. Installed for 1week now and no issues.
Bought to replace our old insinkerator which gave good service very pleased with the new insinkerator it just slotted in where the old one was
was easy to fit and works very well and was even an improvement on the older model that it replaced so was ideal as a way to fix my sisters sink and earned me great brownie points with its competitive price
Bought to replace old worn out model, fitted easily without any issues
Replaced a model 45 after a few years hard use. Quite straightforward to fit with a little patience.
What can you say about a waste disposal unit?! This one disposes of waste effectively ie it does what it says on the product! I received good service from the seller i.e. The product was sent promptly.
Brilliant – easy to fit. Came with air switch which was a bonus.
Replaced a very old Waste King waste disposal. This model is very quite and if it lasts half the time
it will be excellent value.
purchased to replace earlier model – was easy to fit existing pipework and works well
supplier delivered promptly, as described and in original packaging
Just had this fitted today and really seems excellent – quieter than the previous model which I had for 5 years and used continually.
Habitue depuis 20 ans au broyeur d’vier il est difficile de s’en passer. Pas besoin de s’inquiter des petits dchets qui la longue risquent de boucher ! Ce modle est parfait pour un usage quotidien.
It has been installed and it is working perfectly. Very pleased with my purchase.
Great and works a treat. Just what I wanted to replace my old one but chesper than in most stores
Straightforward to install with good instructions. Early days, but it does what it says on the box!
