InSinkErator LEDefense

InSinkErator debuted a suite of new LEDefense products at KBIS 2026, launched in collaboration with Vyv, a health tech company and recognized market leader in antimicrobial technology since 2013. 

Harnessing Vyv’s LED technology, an isolated portion of the visible light spectrum (400-420nm) is utilized to create a pleasant, purplish-blue light that provides 24/7 protection to help keep garbage disposals clean and prevent buildup on the sink’s baffle by killing common germs including odor-causing bacteria while also inhibiting mold growth.

InSinkErator featured two configurations / models of the new garbage disposals and a state-of-the-art sink flange, both utilizing the new LEDefense technology — Advanced Series PRO 1250 LED Garbage Disposal and Advanced Series PRO 1000 LED Garbage Disposal. These products provide homeowners with 24/7 always on LED light that kills 99% of odor-causing bacteria. 

InSinkErator brand’s most premium disposals to-date feature their highest horsepower motor (1.25 HP heavy duty Dura-Drive induction motor only in the PRO 1250 model) while offering SoundSeal Technology. An Advanced Grind feature helps break up tough and fibrous food scraps like bones and corn cobs, while 4-Stage MultiGrind Technology creates the finest grind designed to help prevent clogs and rinse residue.

Compatible with all InSinkErator continuous feed disposals, the LEDefense Sink Flange helps to prevent buildup on the bottom of the baffle thanks to the usage of Vyv’s UV-Free LED light. Fitting all standard sinks ¾-in. thick or less, the Sink Flange is powered around the clock thanks to a USB-C power adapter.
