This new product is a mini food waste processor with a 2-liter capacity, featuring the shallowest depth among food waste processors in Korea at just 27 cm. It is designed to minimize side depth, making installation easy without taking up much space—something not found in previous mini models.

With its compact size, marble sand white color inspired by nature, and minimalistic design, the appliance blends seamlessly with various kitchen interiors. Its design competitiveness was recognized with a '2025 Good Design Award.'

The Hurom Food Waste Processor 3rd Generation utilizes dual technology, offering not only powerful grinding capability but also optimal reduction performance—reducing food waste by up to 96%.

The upper and lower dual hook blades securely fix food waste, enabling them to grind even tough materials such as clam shells, fish bones, and walnut shells. During processing, the device senses temperature and humidity, automatically setting the optimal grinding and drying times based on the characteristics of the food waste.

Hurom incorporated customer feedback regarding the difficulty of separating the drying container after processing by introducing Auto Reverse technology in the new product. Before the operation ends, the drying container automatically rotates in reverse, making it easier to detach from the main body and enhancing user convenience.

The filter performance has also been significantly improved. The dual active carbon filter uses activated carbon optimized for both acidic and alkaline substances, effectively eliminating unpleasant odors such as fishy smells and rotten eggs. Additionally, a double-layer ceramic coating is applied to the drying container, allowing for sturdy use without worrying about scratches from hard food waste.

For the first time in a food waste processor, a 'vegetable and fruit mode' has been introduced, allowing processed waste to be used as fertilizer for houseplants. Furthermore, the main body is made from PCR ABS material recycled from waste plastics, and unnecessary chemical processes have been minimized to embody eco-friendly values.

Even if the food waste processor is used all month, the electricity cost is lower than that of a basic cup of coffee. The ultra-quiet 24 dB design—quieter than a library—allows for worry-free use at any time of day. Features such as an intuitive top touch UI, LED mood light, and recessed handle have been incorporated. Additional conveniences include a silicone handle for the drying container, non-slip pads, a magnetic filter cover, and an automatic cleaning function for the drying container.

To celebrate the launch of the Hurom Food Waste Processor 3rd Generation, Hurom will hold a Naver Live event at 8 p.m. on July 14. During the special promotion from July 14 to 20, the product will be available for 369,000 won—about 26% off the regular price of 499,000 won. With a coupon, the maximum discount price is approximately 359,000 won, about 28% off.

Jaewon Kim, CEO of Hurom, stated, "The Hurom Food Waste Processor 3rd Generation was designed to solve the inconveniences customers experienced with previous food waste processors, taking into account space utilization, powerful technology, and user convenience. We aim to set a new standard for mini food waste processors and will continue to offer a variety of home appliances that make everyday life more comfortable for our customers."
