Keep Looking - poor drainage

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 size 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.

Love this workstation sink!

This sink works so well in our outdoor kitchen and it brings next level functionality with the workstation features. I love that it doesn’t take up too much real estate, but it’s deep enough to wash larger dishes. The marine grade stainless steel is able to withstand the extreme weather too!

We really like this workstation. Installed during a remodel and it worked out perfect for us. Love the space in there and honestly keeps yeah from getting a wet shirt in the front like other sinks we have had.

Excellent Workstation sink!!! Highly recommend!

We love this Kraus Kore workstation sink! It is so versatile and easy to care for! The accessories make it fabulous for entertaining! We love the sink and would install the exact same sink again! Love the cutting board and drying rack! The grate is also keeping it looking brand new!

As part of our kitchen renovation a new sink was needed. I liked my old sink just fine. I needed a sink I could put my roasting pan in to soak. The old sink was now 30 years old. I selected several farm sinks I'd be happy with from Overstock and let my husband select the specifics. He likes the dish rack, I line that it can be put away. We both like the grid rack on the bottom. I did but a plastic dish pan for the occasional dishwashing by hand. The surprise was when my husband cleaned out the refrigerator he was able to put the whole glass shelf into the sink. He loves it. It looks like this will be my last sink and it will stand the rest of time.

Issues with SS sink

I loved the concept of this workstation sink. The ability to have a basin rack, the cutting board and roll-up rack, I liked.

5 Stars

This gorgeous, heavy sink is one of my favorite features of our kitchen remodel. I'm so glad about choosing 1, deep basin over a divided one-the space to wash large pots, cutting boards & baking sheets makes clean up enjoyable! The included accessories-especially drying rack, is so helpful, I quickly wash knives & tools, the stray cup, etc, they drip dry & get put away, no reason for dirty things to linger in the sink! The only negatives are that for some reason the gorgeous front apron of the sink is NOT magnetic so I couldn't hang my magnetic towel holder on it. Also the rubber flaps around drain are placed very tightly and water doesn't drain easily without a little push from a utensil to get the water to begin draining. I researched this and it's a common issue in sinks these days as manufacturers have designed the flaps to fit tightly to add "quiet" as a feature. Solutions have ranged from cutting a sliver of rubber away from flaps, making additional hole in flap w a hole punch, partially inserting a small can into drain to "train" flaps to the bend back a little. Haven't decided which way to go. But otherwise, love this workstation sink & especially the price on Overstock!

We really love this sink and the accessories that comes with it are really functional (3 things total, a decent wood cutting board that fits in the sink indentation, an extra dish-rack that also fits in the sink indentation, and finally a wire rack that sits in the bottom of the sink to lessen the chance of deep scratches and stains on the bottom of the sink which also keeps stuff above the water line and lets things drain well). We appreciate and use all 3 daily! My one gripe about any stainless sink, and this one is no different, is that it's tough to clean the sink effectively, it seems like it constantly needs a good scrub. We essentially clean it weekly and it has held up nicely so far (almost 1 year in). Overall it's still our favorite sink designs with the drain on the right side and flat front. We also stuck a towel rack on the front (strong sticky tape, just some cheap small rod on ******) - works like a champ!

Stylish, sizeable sink, not sure on durability

I love the look of this sink, and the size! It's a modern twist on the farmhouse. The nested drying rack is awesome and is a permanent fixture for my sink. I really like the wire rack for the bottom of the sink, keeping items off the sink itself, but it's a food trap nightmare. The sink doesn't drain well- mine was professionally installed and I stressed the need for it to drain, but I think the bottom is just a bit too flat. Lastly, it seems the sink scratches/marks easily. The wire rack for the bottom has rubber feet, but those have left permanent marks in sink, and I've already got some little scratches elsewhere around the sink.

Just have a couple negatives. After installing our garbage...

Just have a couple negatives. After installing our garbage disposer it was evident the fancy and no doubt expensive drain closure cannot be used and the old cover for the disposer must be used instead. Also, with the grid in the sink it is tricky to feed the disposer without getting garbage all over the adjacent grid and troublesome to remove from same without removing the grid and painstakingly cleaning it. Fingerprints and smudges are a problem. We decided on a stainless steel sink because the cast iron models cost more than twice as much. Now I see why. It's okay, but if money is not an issue I think it's probably better to get get cast iron. This sink was under $500, cast iron ones were over $1000.
