Hurrom has launched a new food waste processor designed with the shallowest depth in the country, targeting one- to two-person households.
The company announced on July 14 that it has released the 'Hurrom Food Waste Processor 3rd Generation,' which features a depth of just 27 centimeters, the shallowest among domestic food waste processors. With a capacity of 2 liters, this mini product is aimed at newlyweds and single-person households.
The new model has been designed to reduce side depth compared to existing cylindrical mini products, allowing for installation in narrow kitchens or around sinks. It features a nature-inspired marble sand white color and a minimalist design, which earned it the '2025 Good Design Award.'
The grinding and drying performance has also been enhanced. It incorporates dual hook blades on the top and bottom, enabling it to grind hard food items such as shellfish, fish bones, and walnut shells. The processor automatically detects temperature and humidity to set the appropriate grinding and drying times for different types of food waste, which can be reduced by up to 96%, according to the company.
User convenience has been improved as well. The new 'Auto Reverse' function allows the drying container to automatically rotate in reverse before operation ends, making it easier to detach. The dual active activated carbon filter reduces fishy odors and unpleasant smells, providing a more pleasant user experience.
Hurrom has also introduced a 'Vegetable and Fruit Mode' for the first time in a food waste processor. This feature allows users to utilize the byproducts from processing vegetables and fruits as fertilizer for houseplants. Additionally, the main body is made from PCR ABS material, which is recycled from plastic waste, enhancing its eco-friendliness.
The product is also designed to be economical. The company states that using the processor for a month incurs an electricity cost comparable to that of a low-priced cup of coffee, and it has lowered filter replacement costs and maintenance expenses to reduce consumer burden. Furthermore, it features a 24dB low-noise design, a top touch display, and an automatic cleaning function for the drying container to enhance usability.
Kim Jae-won, CEO of Hurrom, stated, "The Hurrom Food Waste Processor 3rd Generation was developed to address the inconveniences customers experienced with existing food waste processors, considering space utilization, powerful technology, and user convenience. We aim to set a new standard for mini food waste processors and will continue to strive to introduce various home appliances that make our customers' daily lives more comfortable."
