Kraus Kitchen Sink - Kraus Standart Pro 13-Inch Undermount Single Bowl, 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks, KHU101-13

You are definitely going to get your money out of this sink. My wife had been complaining about our double-sided sink for years, so I wanted to finally do something about it. We originally wanted a farmhouse sink, but understood it would probably be much more expensive than we thought. It would entail cutting out the granite front and possibly reshaping the cabinet to fit it. I called and had a guy from the original cabinet company come out to give me a quote. He seemed a little nervous about potentially damaging the granite and the cabinets to put a new sink in. I waited for a quote anyway. Three weeks and I never heard back from him, so I decided to put this one in MYSELF. As I said, the old sink was a double-sided one (Elkay brand) that listed for over a thousand dollars, current price (I have no idea why and can't believe our builder had us spend that much money on it). This sink is PERFECT. It is deep and wide and we are completely happy. It also has a beautiful mirrored satin finish like many very expensive sinks. It took a little time put the epoxy clamps in, ripping out the old sink, and rearranging the plumbing, but I'm glad I did it myself. I probably saved easily a $500-1,000 installation fee. I looked at the reviews A LOT before deciding on this sink. I saw a lot of people were complaining about it scratching easily, so I was extra careful installing it. I have the rack in it and it works perfect. If I can prevent scratches I will, but to tell you the truth EVERY stainless steel sink scratches. Eventually all the scratches blend together overtime so they are not as noticeable. Don't think you can spend a $1000 on another sink and it won't scratch as easy, that is not true. Anyway, with the rack, I was worried about food getting stuck under the rack and hard to clean out, but that is not the case. You simply use the sprayer on your faucet (hopefully you have one) and the food rinses right out of there (Use the rack and you won't get scratches). This sink was packaged superbly, had extra stuff with it, even clamps for holding it in place. The kicker was, these clamps require you to drill into the granite and use anchors. I didn't go that route. I bought the EZ clips from Amazon and used the PC-7 epoxy to mount them. I had 3 clips on each side and 4 in the back (comes with 10 clips). For the front, I didn't use any because there were already wood slats in place from the previous sink that I could use to hold the front in place. No complaints and I know this sink is extra supported. PC-7 is great and when it dries 24 hours later it is like cement and will not come off. Turns out the bracket or stud portion of the clip that was suppled by Kraus with this sink worked better than the stud from the EZ clips, so I simply used the EZ clip mounting base and the Kraus studs from their clips to hold the sink up. I would HIGHLY recommend this sink! You will save a lot of money and it is superb quality. It is not cheaply made, very heavy and made from 16GA stainless. As good as ANY $1,000 sink. Couldn't be happier. I wish you well and hopefully you decide to get this sink yourself. I am writing this review because I find reviews have really helped me on my buy decisions and I want to help you! I wanted to provide an update, it is now 1 month after installing this sink and I really love it and I STILL don't have a single scratch. I will note, to clean it I simply pull the rack and use the sponge side of a scouring pad. All you do is put a little dawn soap in the bottom and use the sponge to wipe it clean. If you rinse out the food every time you rinse dishes, you won't really get it dirty to begin with, but every 3 or 4 days I will do this and it works great. The rack works great as well, I absolutely love it (make sure you use it). That said, there is ONE thing I did change and it had nothing to do with the sink itself. I changed the baffle (the rubber drain piece) to the insinkerator garbage disposal I have. It was causing the sink to get clogged up a little and you would have to take your hand with a sponge and kind of shove the food particles through the baffle to get it to drain properly (Whoever designed this baffle at Insinkerator should be fired). I quickly looked for a new baffle on Amazon that would work better and FOUND ONE. Now everything is PERFECT, the sink drains like a champ. Here is the baffle I got (put this in search at Amazon and you will find it) : InSinkErator RSB-00 08302D Removable Sound Baffle, Iron. Probably when you see other people on here complaining about the sink not draining properly, it's because they also have an insinkerator baffle and need to change it. Now I love everything.Update 1/6/20 - This sink STILL impresses me. It has almost been a year since I installed it. I've cleaned dishes out in it numerous times now (hundreds of times) and I still don't have a single scratch. That said, I'm also careful not to bang dishes against the sides when placing them in it, which is easy because it's so big. It looks as good as the day I installed it. If you don't want scratches simply USE THE RACK and every 3-4 days, pull the rack and use the sponge side of a scouring pad with a little dawn dish soap. Do this and you WON'T get scratches. The only area of a very minor wear is where the feet of the rack come in contact with the sink, but who cares, you can't see these marks anyway when the rack is in. The rack serves a great purpose when you are rinsing food off of dishes. The food scraps go under the rack so when you set your dishes down while you are scrubbing them, the food you already scrubbed off stays off of them. When you are done with all the dishes you simply rinse the food scraps into the disposal.Update Feb. 2021 - Sink STILL looks about as good as the day I installed it. Still no scratches, only minor rub marks where the feet of the rack make contact with the bottom of the sink, but it makes no difference as you never see this with the rack in anyway.It is now Dec. 2022 and my sink STILL looks as good as the day I bought it.

The first thing my husband asked when he saw this sink, was "geez . . . how much did you pay for this?".We did a light face-lift renovation of our kitchen and replaced our granite countertop with quartz. This was the perfect chance for me to replace our old two bowl sink with this deep single bowl.Sink is solid, heavy, comes packaged and protected like nothing I've (or my contractor) ever seen before. Thick and heavy box, solid styro, and encased in a heavy black drawstring bag. TVs, computers, newborn infants . . . I've never seen anything wrapped and protected better than this.The included sink grid is heavy duty and solid as well. The strainer is beautiful with a lift out basket, but unfortunately was of no use to me because we hooked up a disposal. And, because they couldn't do enough to impress, they also included a thick and heavy hand towel as a thank you.The included template is for zero counter reveal, so if you want either a slight countertop overhang, or a reveal, you'll have to adjust for that.This sink went in to replace a 30" double bowl sink. Same size, in the same size base cabinet but the difference is unbelievable. This sink is absolutely huge, deep and amazing. We have a Grohe Lady Luxe faucet and the distance from sink grid to faucet is 21" - - tons of clearance for even the largest of platters and pots. Dishes left in the sink are out of view, filling and washing pots and vases no longer require careful maneuvering, and I never knew how much I'd appreciate being able to lay a cutting board or saute pan flat in the sink to wash.The 16 gauge is super heavy, and the underside sound dampening is extremely generous. Using the included sink grid protects from scratches, but also prevents the noise that can occur with stainless sinks.The dimensions allow for 4" countertop at the front, and a very comfortable 5" deck for faucet and other fixtures. I had our countertop fabricator drill 5 holes on the deck (hot water dispenser, disposal air switch, faucet, soap dispenser, dishwasher airgap - - installed in that order L-R). The holes are 5.25" on center, and although I was a tad worried this would look too cluttered, it looks and functions great.The rounded, tight radius corners make clean up very easy, and just a wipe with a microfiber rag at the end of every day is all it needs to keep it water-spot free. For cleaning, I've been happy and successful using Bar Keepers Friend.Absolutely and completely happy with this!

Excelente servicio

Buena calidad

Es una Tarja de muy buenas dimensiones, acero inoxidable, rejilla de separación, para que los utensilios de cocina, ya lavados no se ensucien y muy buena presentación y practicalidad.

Easy to clean

great sink with a nice decorative piece that goes over the traditional sink stopper. I like the pairing of the sink and faucet so much, I bought both for my bar area. Couldnt be happier with construction and care to detail of both sink and faucet. I would not hesitate to recommend. Installation went off without a hitch with the installer. All parts there, everything needed to get it done.
