The Quiet Kitchen by Parex Industries introduces three key quiet components to kiwi home owners: InSinkErator Evolution Food waste disposer, Steaming hot water tap and Schweigen silent range hoods.

Kitchens of today are a far cry from yesteryear, for innovative designers and discerning clients that are research savvy, the quest for the latest and greatest has never been greater.

“With the modern kitchen encroaching on the main living space of our homes, the demand for quiet technology is high on a consumers’ priority list. I heard about technology that could deliver nearly silent performance and is low in decibel ratings and naturally I couldn’t wait to learn more,” says Simon Gault.

The InSinkErator Evolution 200

While food waste disposers are a clean and convenient way to deal with food scraps, they can be on the noisy side. The InSinkErator Evolution 200 disposer, features superior grinding performance and is at least 60% quieter than other models.

In addition, disposers are environmentally responsible; using minimal electricity and about 1% of an average home’s annual water consumption they can enable food waste to be captured and converted to renewable energy for beneficial re-use.

Schweigen Range Hood

Typically the most common complaint about range hoods from consumers is the noise. Extraction has finally come of age with Schweigen; featuring exterior-mounted fan technology. The highly-efficient German manufactured IsoDrive motor is able to generate a lot of usable power due to being positioned outside the home.  This ensures it never has to push air up, against gravity, to remove it from your kitchen. This lets the range hood concentrate all of its power on its primary purpose; removing large volumes of cooking steam, smoke, grease and odours from your kitchen.

InSinkErator Steaming Hot Water Tap

Finally, we need no longer put up with the noisy jug cluttering up the bench top. The InSinkErator Steaming Hot Water Tap provides instant boiling water or filtered cold water at the touch of a lever without the intrusion of space or sound. The taps don’t just bring style to the kitchen, they also bring a new level of convenience that fits today’s busy lifestyles.  

A fully functional Quiet Kitchen is displayed at Kouzina Appliances in Parnell, Auckland. The products retail at $999 for the Evolution 200 InSinkErator waste disposer,  $1,599 upwards for the steaming hot water tap and $1,399 upwards for the Schweigen silent range hoods.
