This is my 3rd home with a Kraus sink and this one is the best so far. We love the drying rack and cutting board. Also the new drain cover works extremely well. Didn’t know I needed it until I had one. Love it !!!
Okay, to be fair, this is installed in our new counters, but not yet hooked up. Holy cow is this thing big and deep (30"). I thought we needed the under mount to get more depth, but this may almost be too deep if you are over 6' tall! Seriously you could bathe a two year old in this thing!
I was worried my counter maker would have trouble with cutting to the "lip" this requires for the accessories, but they cut it perfectly. The accessories seem nice - the silicon coated dish rack in particular. My plumber wants to replace the drain assembly with something more sturdy, so I am a tad depresses, but I'm not sure it is necessary and will go with the original (who do these guys thing they are making decisions for me any way?).
The steel is thick and feels very solid. The sound deadening seems to be very good. I'll post more once this has water in it, but if you are considering this or the over mount version, it is a very nice sink.
Edit: almost six months later and we still love the sink. The metal grate for the bottom is a must use. We have the silicon grated disk drying tray in all the time. Have some liquid bar keepers friend on hand and it cleans up great. Do NOT use anything FB abrasive. You don’t need to and it will scratch. It seems to spot and get musty looking rather quickly, but it cleans up pretty easy. We have the matching Kraus faucet in stainless. It is also very nice, but I understand they now have a spot free stainless version. Definitely get that one! We are still happy with undercount, but as I said above, it will still be plenty deep if you go over mount.
Very bad product. So disappointed. Just a week after installed and it is completely scratched. We barely have used it. Not worth the money
I purchased this sink in July 2019, so I've been using it for a year now. (I bought right when it became available and had 0 reviews). It is one of my favorite things in our kitchen. I love the divider being half way up the middle of the sink allowing for use of the whole sink or just half. I love not seeing my garbage disposal or other drain - the drain covers are beautiful and another touch of elegance to the overall look of the sink. When I wash cookware, I can fit everything on one side to dry (the same amount of dishes used to take up half the sink and another ugly counter top dish drainer. One of my favorite things about this sink - cutting melons with NO MESS. I can fit a whole large watermelon in the sink to wash it before cutting, then I can put a garbage bag for rinds and a bowl for the cut melon all inside the sink - so no more melon juice all over the counter! I LOVE THIS SINK!
I give it 5 stars as I really love it but there are a few things to know about:
1. It does spot - when it arrives it is so beautiful and you want to keep it that way - but water marks do show up. I use barkeepers friend and cleans up nicely but I am not going to dry my sink after every use (that's not practical).
2. It is a very deep sink which has pros and cons. I love how deep the sink is but my contractor had a hard time cutting the existing pipes to fit the new sink (which added to the cost of installation). It also makes you have less cabinet space below the sink - again, well worth the trade-off in my opinion.
So i choose this kitchen sink based on the reviews and the versatility of the item . I read every single review and i research the company . After i did my research i choose to buy this product since it seem like the best option out there . I adquiere the item on November 20 2019 i bought for a kitchen renovation that was in progress at the time. i have recently installed the sink on my kitchen April 26 2020 and today may first i wen to the kitchen and i saw what i looked like an oxidation mark i couldn't believe it since the sink haven't being installed for more than a week . I have proof of buy and also i have proof of installation and i want to also make clear that the sink was keep on his original packing since it was deliver . Im very disappointing with this situation and i really hope that this company reaches out to settle and fix this situation some how .
This sink looks great and it fits perfectly into the 30 inch Ikea base cabinet. It was the biggest fanciest one I could find that fits and I'm pretty happy with it. I've read in the review for other sinks with the same size that there is a problem with if the Ikea cabinet has doors - something with the hinges. We have the pullout version of the Ikea sink cabinet and that works fine. There is not much space underneath for trash bins anymore though and we had to cut out a piece of the back of the pullout drawer for the garbage disposal. We have a second pullout cabinet for the trash bins so this is not an issue for us. Something to keep in mind though if you're in the process of planning your kitchen. I had been going back and forth between one bowl and two bowls. I'm glad I went with the one big one since you can store wet pots and pans on the drying rack even better than in a second bowl. I'm subtracting one star because it does scratch somewhat easily. Still the best one I could find for my Ikea cabinet though.
Now this sink makes a statement!!! I never knew that a sink could be called beautiful!!! The portable drain keeps a dish drain off my beautiful counters. Love all the extras that came with it. Cutting board and protective rack for the bottom of the sink. GORGEOUS!!!
I absolutely love this sink!!! After a complete remodel of my home, this sink is my favorite new item. I can put large items in there to clean with such ease. Also, we juice celery everyday and so I have a lot of celery to clean each week. With this sink, cleaning is a breeze and so efficient. I use a large container to clean the celery and then I can fit two separate strainers in the sink to rinse all it. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and with this sink, I'm ready!!!
Excellent sink. Super functional and looks great. Well built. One of the best purchases for our kitchen. The included accessories are great. The grate keeps you dishes from touching the sink bottom. The foldable silicone coated stainless steel rack eliminates our need to have a dish rack. Looks good as well. Well built. The included cutting board is also a nice touch. Highly recommended.
One week after installation and already have one significant rust spot on bottom panel. As well, bottom scratches extremely easily, even with a “non-scratch” dish wand. Not impressed.
Beautiful sink and totally lives up to the positive reviews. Is it easy to clean? Well if you want a deep sink, this is the trade off. It is a bit more work to clean for sure! However, the other accessories that make your life a bit easier make up for that. The space you gain by having a built in cutting board and (hot/cold) rack is fabulous and the bottom stainless racks also provide a great option for drying dishes. The double sink with the low rise divider offering the versatility to have one even larger sink is incredible. This sink offers it all! I laughed at the reviewer who said “just get it” and trusted this many positive reviews cannot be wrong. I saved hundreds of dollars buying this on amazon! Happy so far!
It does look great. Didn't installed yet. Waiting to renovate kitchen to give better opinion.
It does look very sturdy and well insulated. Big benefit is at drain in the corner to give me extra space under the sink.
like that it comes with cutting board and dish rack.
It's hard to find similar product on the market.
Love it g
The sink itself is absolutely top notch: thick, solid with a lovely finish and the mounting accessories are well made.
I leave a 3-star review, because the diagrams in the ad indicate a bowl width of 30" but that measurement is actually for the whole sink, flanges included (I should have checked on the manufacturer's site, where it clearly shows this). At any rate, I had to return it due to it falling through the 30.25" hole in my counter.
Buyer beware! Other than the dimensioning, though, the sink itself seemed well made and sturdy.
