Keeps food out of pipes
I love being able to keep solids from going into our almost 40 year old pipes and being easily able to separate compostable items for our trash. As you may be aware, this is now a requirement in the state of California.
Makes composting easy
Makes composting easier, especially with a toddler in the house. Speeds up dish washing and keeps the sink cleaner. It's a good solution for people on septic like me.
Totally worth it
Bought this recently and my husband wasn't too convinced. A couple weeks in and I think he loves it more than I do. No more smelly compost to deal with. No more disgusting sink strainer to empty out. It makes composting a lot more pleasant to deal with.
Root is the simplest way to properly manage kitchen waste.
Garbage disposals are continually getting the boot from cities around the world due to a number of perceived issues, such as the potential to clog pipes, cause floods, and break down. There is also uncertainty surrounding their environmental impact.
Separating food scraps from regular garbage is being mandated in more regions around the globe. To do this, most homeowners are forced to use flimsy plastic buckets that leak, smell bad, and are unpleasant to open and close several times a day.
Root remedies these issues. Engineered specifically for longevity, Root will keep your pipes clear, your sink unclogged, and transform your compost collection from a major hassle to an effortless process.
With Garbage Disposal
Root uses the same connections as a garbage disposal, so you can easily swap your disposal for Root.
Without Garbage Disposal
Root requires an outlet under your sink to connect to power. The retrofitting installation process is straightforward. If you have a double sink, Root can be installed under either sink.
