KOHLER 8799-PB Duostrainer Sink drain and strainer basket, less tailpiece, 1.5, Vibrant Polished Brass

Expensive but worth it

My husband and I bought this strainer for our kitchen in summer 2008. We bought it mostly for the brushed nickel finish that would match our other kitchen hardware. Right from the start there were problems. The black rubber rings that are supposed stop the water from draining out of the sink would pop off all the time. I would fill the sink with soapy water and a few minutes later it would be drained. I would try to re-adjust the strainers so that they would hold water. Sometimes I could get it to hold water but often they wouldnt. We paid just under $50 a piece for two strainers and it was by far the worst money we spent renovating our entire kitchen. The product has a one year warranty. We didnt take advantage of it in time so the company graciously sent us two new rubber rings.

Would be 5 stars if it came with the tailpiece

Product seemed very robust and durable and of better quality

Great product

I ordered the vibrant stainless steel sink strainer and it came with a chrome basket.

to plug a big hole in the bottom of my sink

Fits in perfectly with the new sink!

The Kohler stainless steel sink strainer is high quality. This is the second time Ive purchased this item. The last time I bought it from a big box store. This time the item was purchased from LILAHS CREATIONS through Amazon. The item arrived as promised. The vendor, LILAHS CREATIONS, has followed up twice to insure Im satisfied.

The strainer itself looks good. The Basket/Stopper does not seal and water leaks from sink. Seems like a very poor design on the stopper. There is nothing to guide the stopper squarely into the seating area and water leaks past the o-ring. Hole in basket has too much clearance and the stopper is not guided squarely into the seat. Very disappointed in this item. I have returned this item and Amazon gave me a full refund.
