I am interested in food waste disposer, the model is InSinkErator Evolution 200 premium food waste disposer.
What concerns me is that in the kitchen we have a long horizontal waste pipe under the floor (see the attached picture). So my question is if such pipe could couse problems? F.i. grinded food keeps in the horizontal pipe.
Thanks!

With 1/4" per foot (a normal drain line) you should be fine. If the pipe is totally horizontal it may not work well over time as oils , grease soap scum and just normal organic matter will cause backups. 10' with the drop from the disposal may not be a problem even if close to horizontal. Make sure to run water for a little while after the disposal is clear to flush the material down the drain. If greasy stuff use Hot water and you will probably be fine.
