Immediate Disposal of Small Amounts with "Quick Mode"

The Hurom Food Waste Processor 2nd Generation is gaining attention among newlywed couples. This product received high marks for its excellent filter deodorization performance and low annual maintenance costs in the home food waste processor product evaluation released by the Korea Consumer Agency.


This device uses 120°C high-temperature sterilization, drying, and grinding to turn even food waste with lots of liquid or seasoning into powder, reducing the volume of food waste by up to 96%. By drying food at high temperatures, it can eliminate 99.9% of harmful bacteria and deodorize 99.5% of toxic odors.

Additionally, the appliance features a 'Quick Mode' that can process up to 500g of small food waste portions within three hours, allowing users to immediately dispose of small amounts of waste according to their lifestyle. With 'Storage Mode,' which offers pressure-sealed cooling, up to 2.5 liters of food waste can be stored without decay or odor and later processed using the 'Standard Mode.'


The processor also allows additional waste to be added during operation, so there is no need to wait until enough waste has accumulated. When new food waste is added, the device automatically recalculates the operating time for the added waste, making it convenient to use. The upgraded composite activated carbon filter reduces fishy odors to one-fifth of the previous generation, so users do not have to worry about unpleasant smells. While filter replacement is generally recommended every three months, the Hurom Food Waste Processor's filter can be washed with water, dried in 'Eco Mode,' and reused, which is economical.



In terms of cleaning, the drying container for food waste can be automatically washed with 100°C water in under 30 minutes, ensuring more hygienic maintenance. The processor is also equipped with a front-facing LED display that intuitively shows the food waste processing stages, and it operates at just 25 dB (decibels), which is quieter than a library, allowing it to be used day or night without concern. Moreover, the Hurom Food Waste Processor 2nd Generation is eligible for the home food waste processor subsidy program, with up to 70% support available depending on the region.
