Whois & Analysis for insinkerator.com

InSinkErator is a company and brand name known for producing instant hot water dispensers and waste disposal systems, generally called garbage disposals or garbage disposers.

The company was founded in Racine, Wisconsin by John W.

Hammes, who was working as an architect there.

Hammes is credited with inventing the "in-sink" food waste disposal in 1927, for his wife.

It works by grinding and shredding solid food waste.

He spent ten years improving the design and went into business selling the appliance.

His company was called the In-Sink-Erator Manufacturing Company.

The name is a play on the word "incinerator" and refers to the fact that the mouth of the disposal unit is located "in" the "sink".

A garbage disposal unit (also known as a garbage disposal, waste disposal unit, garbage disposer, or in Canadian English a garburator) is a device, usually electrically powered, installed under a kitchen sink between the sink's drain and the trap.

The disposal unit shreds food waste into pieces small enough—generally less than —to pass through plumbing.

A tap (also spigot or faucet: see ) is a valve controlling the release of a liquid or gas.

Nomenclature.

A sink—also known by other names including sinker, washbowl, hand basin and wash basin—is a bowl-shaped plumbing fixture used for washing hands, dishwashing, and other purposes.

Sinks have taps (faucets) that supply hot and cold water and may include a spray feature to be used for faster rinsing.

They also include a drain to remove used water; this drain may itself include a strainer and/or shut-off device and an overflow-prevention device.

Sinks may also have an integrated soap dispenser.

A kitchen is a room or part of a room used for cooking and food preparation in a dwelling or in a commercial establishment.

In the West, a modern residential kitchen is typically equipped with a stove, a sink with hot and cold running water, a refrigerator, counters and kitchen cabinets arranged according to a modular design.

Many households have a microwave oven, a dishwasher and other electric appliances.

The main function of a kitchen is serving as a location for storing, cooking and preparing food (and doing related tasks such as dishwashing), but it may also be used for dining, entertaining and laundry.
