KRAUS Kore 23-Inch Undermount Workstation 16 Gauge Single Bowl Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink with Accessories, KWU111-23

I love the sink.. It looks stylish and I like how wide and deep it is. I was concerned about having corners that were not rounded, but it’s not a problem at all. Also, I thought all the extra accessories were unnecessary but now that I have them, I love them. I particularly love the drying rack.

I bought this sink because it was both the size I needed and it was a good in between of a single bowl sink and a split, 2-bay sink. The low divider lets me easily wash cookie sheets and other long things, but the divider lets me have a wash side and dry side. That was the reason I picked it out. Now that I have it installed and have started using it, I like it so much more than that. The accessories are so nice and useful. I love the bottom of sink racks and the drying rack to allow for lots of hand-wash dish drying room. The drain covers look super nice. The cutting board over the sink will help with keeping messes contained. I’ll probably buy the colander too. Really I hadn’t paid any attention to the accessories when picking this out, and am now so happy to have it all. Never thought of a sink being so much more functional than just being a sink. The quality of everything feels excellent. I expect it to be extremely durable and beautiful for years.

I love this sink!! I don't have one negative think to say. I got lucky and purchased a used like new one, so I saved quite a bit of money. I was worried that something may be wrong with it because someone else returned it, but nope! It is perfect! I'm attaching pictures but keep in mind I'm in the middle a construction so I may not be giving it the full effect of how perfect it is. I love the grate on the bottom so as to not scratch it. It's quiet and big enough to put large pots and pans in it. I bought the stainless steel one.

I’m very happy with my new sink. Easy to install. Looks modern, perfect color and size.

This sink is beautiful. The stainless steel is thick and stands up to everyday use. The cutting board is bamboo and very useful. The deep single bowl design means cleaning large pans pots is easier. My wife doesn't like it, but I 'won' out with 'the person doing the cleaning...' I still like the fact that I can fit pans in the sink while I clean them. Tips: Keep the sink clean and don't let water stand in it for prolonged time if you have hard water. Clean with vinegar to remove any calcium or lime built up from the corners. Use stainless steel cleaner and polish for that just installed look. Even after a year. Cutting board: It is well made, bamboo and very used in my kitchen. Treat with a food grade wood wax and your good to go. Reapply the wax every month or so based on your usage and preferences. I use a bees wax for all my cutting boards. Cons: The sink has a curve in the corners that make cleaning easier however not all transitions were considered for that. The result is cleaning required a brush to get into the 90° corners, I use a modified firm toothbrush for this. The cutting board has a fluid channel that runs the perimeter and a drain to allow liquid to disperse from the board. Make sure that the channel and drain are waxed as well. Doing so will seal the exposed end grain that will wick fluid and cause headaches later if not addressed. Scratches in the sink are not eliminated but reduced greatly by the basin bottom rack. It is stainless steel and very sturdy. It functions well and provides adequate protection for the bottom of the sink. Con: it needs cleaning after each use. Doing so will prevent oder from trapped food or just clinging food. A quick brush with a cleansing brush and you will fine. Once a month fill the sink to just over the top of the rack and toss in a cup of vinegar. Let that sit for an hour and then your back to that new rack luster. Over all the Kraus line is fantastic. This is our second Kraus sink. Our first was bought to sell our old house, this one for our new home with a complete rework of the kitchen. Installation : I installed our first Kraus sink in our old house. The process was a replacementfor an undermount. The old sink was very stubborn and took some convincing. Let's just say the swear jar filled up. The install was a lot easier. This new sink install was a breeze. I had no difficulty with letting the countertop company install undermounted to granite.. I know this review was long, I thank you for the time you spent reading it. I hope this helps in your decision.

Overall there is nothing not to like about the sink and the really neat accessories. However, the cutting boards are all bamboo, a yellow bamboo. The advertising pamphlet that came with the sink and some of the videos and even the online pictures show other woods, maybe acacia, being used for the cutting board material and I would have rather had those. I'm considering modifying better looking cutting boards with my router, sander and table saw to get that look. If given an option, I would have chosen the accessories in the other wood and paid more. Bamboo looks cheap and delaminates easily. The sink doesn't take up my whole 48" base cabinet, it's lip is the 45" measurement and the sink itself is 43ish inches. It's still huge and worth considering getting 2 faucets which feels overly opulent. I'm using kraus faucet as seen in the video and an RO faucet, I'm on the fence about adding a second. I have the extendable spray head but it doesn't reach the very corners physically, though the spray pattern with good water pressure would. I just don't have great water pressure with my well system. I am going to ask the countertop installers to mount the sink with more angle, potentially swimming it another 16th of and inch down on the drain side and sanding down the plywood base under the countertop. This would enhance the drainage on the slope. I believe a reviewer with poor drainage may have had a countertop install or mounting of this sink with the wrong slope, mitigating the built in angle of slope in the sink. I will update with photos when it is installed. I've never had such an enormous sink. I can't wait to do my prep work in the sink area and save the spillage and the debris from my surrounding counters. This sink will be used to facilitate large canning projects, processing large volumes of citrus for juice and day to day baking and cooking, and of course washing dishes, especially large pots. Update: Sink installed. The water doesn't drain as another reviewer mentioned.not enough contour and negative contour result in large pockets of water standing and consequently leaving waters pots as evaporation in my dry climate occur. We have waited the customary 24 hours before installing and the counters are pretty level, a 1/16 over 30 inch expanse in drop from back of counters to front does exist. We will be adding a 13lb garbage disposal soon and I am hoping this assists in drainage, especially from the right front corner. Where water just sits. I'll be using rain X to hopefully assist with water beading and cleanup. Looks like I need a shower squeegee to clean this 1000 sink (with tax). I will suggest you get with your countertop installers and you slightly shim your sink and check the level to assist with drainage I may be able to add extra support to my sink front and level out the 1/16 of an inch. This pool of standing water in the front of the sink is ridiculous. Overall, it's a very cool, grand statement sink that you can bathe 2 year old twins within, but it doesn't drain well even though it is contoured and sloped. Update: now the sink is fully functioning. Has the disposal installed: which means you don't get to use their nice deep drain that is included and fits their cap and drain basket, and the water and the food particulate definitely pools over 1/8" in the front right corner vs going into the drain. So you must have an extending spray nozzle to clean that all up. The pooling issues and the reluctant drainage has prompted me to buy a squeegee. I now have a squeegee in my sink, suctioned onto the side and I wash dishes etc then squeegee the puddles into the drain. Definitely what I was hoping for, but I am enjoying having all the room for things to drain into the sink at the other end. So, you will lose the convenience of a sink that drains well and gain the convenience of a chopping surface and a drying rack and a Hollander etc that all drain into the sink instead of onto your counters. Make sure you have your stainless steel cleaner and you have your spot remover. It's going to be a lot more cleaning with this sink. I'm considering rainX to deflect some droplets.

Awesome sink, a wonderful work space

Not a negative but it is larger than I expected. The design and quality are great lots of built in features. Solid purchase
