Decent replacement - but I liked my old Kohler better

We had to replace our sink due to new tops. I loved my old Kohler sink. This replacement has a couple issues. I don't like the straight sides, harsh corners & flat bottom. Hard to wipe down, & push food to drain. No acoustic dampering - it's loud.

Replacing existing Stainless steel sink

I purchased this because of it's double basins, generous size and nice look. Immediately after first use I noticed this sink is much more difficult to keep clean. Things, like bread and other starches seem to stick to it and getting them off required a ridiculous amount of effort. I have to remove all the racks and shelves to get to the stuck on food and then even use my nail to get it loose. I have never had this problem with the many other stainless sinks I have used. I am going to reach out to Kohler to see if this is a defect or actually just the way the sink is fabricated. Does anyone have similar problem with their Kohler product?

Not up to Kohler standards

Have been in our new house for 5 months using the sink that we ordered long before and the stainless steel is not the best. Small (minute) pieces of food material acutally stick to the stainless and will not rinse out you have to wipe them off. This in not dried stuck on food particles. For example if you boil potatoes and dump the water down the sink you get small bits of potato clinging to the stainless steel even if you rinse immediately. Annoying. Otherwise love the size of the sink

The perfect combination of professional kitchen equipment look and modern farmhouse functionality. Very happy with this choice.

Exactly what I expected

Sink was exactly as expected, the utility shelf is very handy, no clue as how to use the towel rack. The size split is so nice, we put the disposal on the small side so have clean and dirty sides!

Great sink

We really like the sink and the large area to clean pots and pans in.

Nirvana found, the perfect two bowl sink for cooks! Both my husband and I are avid cooks which means large pots, cookie sheets, etc. I have always got large single sinks because most two bowl sinks cannot accommodate a full size cookie sheet. Well I love my current large single bowl sink (Kraus Model # KHU100-32) but love/hate the sink grate. Why? I love it for keeping my dishes above the food debris in the sink. I hate it because it is another thing you have to clean and it is too big for the dishwasher. Also, you have to take the grate out of the sink to clean the sink, which means that you have to clean your counter where you set the grate. Another pet peeve is my sink is against a wall which means that it is next to impossible to clean behind the faucet.

[Rewarded Review] Excellent quality sink!

The Strive Undermount Stainless Steel 36 in. Double Basin Kitchen Sink is a Kohler product. Kohler quality is unmatched. The stainless steel is 16 gauge, making the sink incredibly durable. The rounded corners on the larger bowl help to make cleaning the bowl easier and are also a nice touch. Another bonus are the items that come with the sink and save you money: dishcloth bar and basin racks.

Kohler K-5282 Stainless Strive 36" Double Bowl Kitchen Sink

Haven't had it installed yet. My evaluation is based on its appearance, weight (43 pounds), and the fact that it was made in Kohler, WI, rather than in Mexico (as was a less expensive Kohler stainless kitchen sink that I returned, which was 58 percent lighter by weight and felt flimsy, even though it certainly wasn't cheap, i.e., $231.00 less than this sink).

Kohler is sublime

Pleased With Our Purchase

We loved the design of this particular sink. The corners on the larger bowl are very unique and add a personal touch to our bar area.
