not my best decision

I've had this sink 3 years now and it is possibly the biggest mistake of my kitchen renovation. I picked it for its size and the rear offset drain. It was up on a wall at Lowe's, not where I could closely examine it or certainly not see it in action. It arrived the day before the countertop was installed so no chance to really study it although most of my complaints really needed to be experienced. Worst feature - "Sloped bottom with channel grooves helps prevent water from pooling in the sink" - uh, no - it doesn't drain properly - I use so much water using the sprayer to push food and water down to the drain. You can't 'squeegee' it down with your hand without removing the grid so it has to be cleaned every few days because of the scum that builds up on it from standing water. "Gently rounded corners" - more like hard 90 degree angles that have to be scrubbed with a toothbrush to get the gunk out. "...great resistance to ... damage" - It scratches easily - you HAVE to use the grid to protect the sink but that also quickly gets scummy and is hard to clean, short of taking it outside or to the bathtub to run a scrub brush over it. It is too deep, even with the grid inside - I'm 5'7" and my back starts aching when there are a lot of dishes to be done. But this was the standard depth of all the sinks I looked at - it does handle large cookware well but a couple of inches shallower would be a nice option for future models. I also get a lot of splatter but that may be a function of my faucet. I do like the rollup mat that fits snugly on the ledge - we leave it up all the time for draining the coffeemaker parts; if it is in the way of pots, I just roll it up to one side. I have not used the cutting board because I don't like wooden cutting boards - would be better if Kraus offered a plastic one that could go into the dishwasher. All in all, I cannot recommend this sink. Keep looking.

Nice looking sink, cant speak to the durability. But accessories seemed nice, and was well packed. Kraus does not supply a matching disposal flange for this black stainless sink, neither do they sell one on their website. I have tried several other companies brands and none match. So unless you are ok with a stainless steel drain assembly in your black stainless sink, I would pass.

I absolutely love our Kraus sink!!! We just remodeled our kitchen, and our sink is one of my favorite parts. I love that the sink is so large and deep. If can fit so many dishes in it. It allows our countertop to stay clear. The accessories are great! I haven’t been using it long, but I haven’t noticed any scratches in it. It came well packaged. I would absolutely buy it again!

I wish I had read more reviews of this before purchasing.

I am so obsessed with workstation sinks that I ordered three, one 36” for the main sink in the kitchen a 19” for my vegetable sink! Another for my laundry room. I can’t wait to see them installed! The packaging was stellar!! Zero chance of damage during shipping. The packaging even covers the interior of the sink so there could be no opportunity for it to scratch! Each sink came w a wood cutting board, metal sink protector, drain covers, drainer, etc. Would highly recommended. Will update w photos post renovations

I regret this purchase

I have had a lot of sinks in my life, and this is the worst. The corners are very hard to clean (make sure you buy a sink with rounded corners!) and it does not drain the water very well. I have to rinse and rinse and rinse to get even little things into the drain hole. I will be much more discerning when I buy my next sink. Unfortunately I did not realize how bad the sink was until it was installed in my custom countertop. Too hard to replace now. I do like that it is deep and the grate in the bottom is nice to keep everything off the crap in the bottom that will not rinse down the drain. Still. It is a pain to clean and to keep clean.

Wow! 3 Feet!

Finally installed in new kitchen I LOVE the sink but it is not durable at all. I am very gentle in cleaning with non abrasive products but it scratches so easily! Fine scratches from a non scratch light duty sponge. I had an old stainless sink for 40 years that never scratched. Also discolors. Such a shame for such a great sink. I love the corner drain and drain cover. So much more storage in the cabinet below. Overall, I love it just wish it didnt discolor and scratch so easily. I have even bought specific stainless steel cleaner. I got stainless for the durability I assumed it would offer. I also LOVE the roll up dish drauiner, however, it to has not worn well. I have had the sink in use for only 4 months.

Poor Drainage

Poor drainage. Any picture Kraus uses for marketing purposes where someone is wiping up the bottom of the sink (mind you, the screen has to be out of the bottom of the sink to 'wipe it out') does my complaint justice. The bottom of the sink isn't sloped enough to move macaroni or cut up vegetables, with max water from the faucet, to the drain. If you can find a comparable sink with better drainage I'd look into it. I'd rather the bottom of the sink moved things along better.

awesome sink!

We love our sink! We recently gutted and redid our kitchen and this sink looks fantastic with our new appliances and counters. The countertop company installed it and they used epoxy and 1x6's in the base cabinet to support it rather than using the clips. We've never had an undermount sink nor a single bowl before and so far we are very pleased to have made the switch. I plumbed the drain and also like how all of the plumbing is on one side of the base cabinet, allowing for much more practical storage under the sink

My Go-To Sink!

I use this sink on almost all of my kitchen remodels. The size is great while also still fitting in a standard 36" sink base. I love the low divider and how slim it it. This workstation sink come with all of the accessories I need and there are more that I can easily purchase. Great value for all that you get with the package. The sink is very deep and allows me to use it much better than a shallow sink. Great sink and I will be using it again on my next project.

Brand new Sink with Scratches

Purchased new and was very happy with sink and accessories. After cleaning the first time and prior to use, there were swirling scratches present. Disappointed after initial cleaning without ever using sink. Poor quality scratch resistant surface that should be designed to resist minor scratches. Would not recommend at this price point and the customer service just pushes back to blame the customer.

Kitchen Sink

I really like this sink overall as I believe it is well constructed, cool looking, and comes with great accessories. I do have two issues however, which I did see in other reviews, and are the reasons I did not give five stars.

This is our 3rd sink in 5 years. It’s the least expensive of the 3, it came with the most accessories of the 3, and it performs as well as the other sinks, which were Franke and Blanco brands. Both excellent, however, we thought we’d give this a try. It was installed several weeks ago, and is exceptional! High quality, heavy, solid. I read reviews about difficulty in cleaning food out. It’s the trade off for buying a large, square sink! Install a good sprayer, and you will love this product.

One week review... so far we are pleased with our sink. No issues for the first week. Counter top installers installed the sink and it looks really well. The Kraus faucet we purchased to go with it really compliments it also. We feel the work station sink with the strainer and cutting board accessories are really going to be a plus. There will be a learning curve on how to deal with water spots since we have hard water but we are still glad we made this choice. The sink is heavier than since it is 16 ga.stainless but quieter too with the extra baffling insulation around the sides. Very pleased so far.

Looks great, built well and has met my expectations. I did read some reviews about the stainless getting scratched and Kraus' response about that being standard for stainless. We've only been using ours a little while and have not seen any blemishes on the surface from use. If they do occur, I had read the reviews prior to buying and will accept it as normal wear. I would recommend this sink to anyone looking for an undermount, work station style sink.

Very Nice Sink. Although it has not yet been installed, it appears to be of great quality. As a workstation, it came with several of the accessories included in the package (cutting board and drying rack). Other accessories like the drains are included by all if not most others but not the drying rack and cutting board, It was packed really well and protected from even hard drops. So far very satisfied. I will update after it is installed and used

Great update for my kitchen. Love the low divider...

Great update for my kitchen. Love the low divider as I didn't want a super large sink for a residence, but wanted the updated look and it functions very well in that aspect. The roll up drainer is really useful as are the wire grids for the bottom of the sink. The bamboo cutting board is a little large for me. Cuts down on sink space if you keep it out all the time but is convenient when needed. Could have been a 3/4 size for half of the sink it sits on, but overall very nice. Lots of options on this sink and I added a Kraus pull down faucet to complete the great look. I definitely recommend this sink!

Obsessed with this sink

My counter installer took this sink with him to template the quartz and he did not disappoint. It's the best sink I've ever had. We do a lot of entertaining and the added accessories are brilliant! With the drying rack I no longer have pots drying all over my counters. The cutting board is a huge space saver. I've always had a grid at the bottom of my sink to protect from scratching and this size would run about $55. Can't believe it's included. Kraus even sent extra "feet" in case they need to be replaced. Really great quality.

Should Have Gotten a Brushed Stainless.

The concept and size of the sink are what I wanted. That being said, I have never owned a polished stainless sink only brushed. This scratches. I didn’t even think that would be an issue with a sink because I’ve always scoured my previous brushed stainless sinks and they looked great. Also, you can see water spots that dry into it. The grooves that direct the water down the drain are not angled sharply enough to do the job. I’m wasting so much water with the sprayer to get food and water into the disposal. I like the 90 degree angles on the top, but miss rounded bottom corners of a traditional sink.
