> 24 hourBeautiful sink...where my installer ran into problems though was with the mounting brackets. As you can see in the picture, theres no room on my counter in the front and back. The sink just dropped into the existing hole. And because the hook part of the mounting bracket is so small, it kept popping off while he tried to tighten the clamp and he had no room for his hands to get in the space to try and hold it together while tightening. He just said bad design as the previous sinks mounting hardware didnt have this issue. So its in place with the weight of the disposal and silicone under and around the edges.

> 24 hourMy wife said buy the largest sink that will fit in the cabinet. This sink is huge. You likely already know about the sound deadening coating and the thickness of steel are great but there are couple other noteworthy pluses. The sink strainer it came with is a basket you can easily pull out and empty into the trash. The packaging was amazing. This sink was well protected during shipping - make sure you dont accidentally throw out the template which is a white poster board looking thing. The installation was on par with any other top mounted sink Ive installed. My one word of warning is that this is a statement piece - mainly because of its massive size. People walk in the kitchen and walk directly to it and make some comment about being able to wash small adults in it or large dogs. I like the size as allows me to wash giant cutting boards and large pots with ease.

> 24 hourI was planning on replacing my kitchen counter tops and updating my sink and faucet. I was looking for an over mount sink about the same size for easy installation. I searched the big box stores and was discouraged because the sinks looked the same. I was hesitant to buy a sink on line without actually seeing it, but was encouraged by other customer’s reviews for this model. The sink seems so much larger than my old model, probably because it’s deeper. My contractor installed the sink with ease and felt it was a high quality sink. The bonus was a bottom rack to protect from scratches. I have experienced the same issue as others, that the food tends to stick to the bottom of the sink rather than going directly down the drain. I am hoping with practice, I can navigate my new faucet sprayer for easy clean up. If not, it’s easy enough to remove the rack for cleaning, The basket strainer was high quality and would have used it but couldn’t due to the garbage disposal installation. I especially like the shape and simple lines of this model. If I was to need another sink, I would definitely look at Ruvati.

> 24 hourWe had a flood in our kitchen in January. We had to replace almost everything! I purchased this sink because the description said it was exactly what I wanted! I like a huge sink that can contain all the water mess that we make while cleaning up. This sink is perfect in so many ways! If I could have an affair with an inanimate object, it would be this sink! I highly recommend this sink or any other sink by Ruvati! When we were having the sink installed by a so-called professional the person who arrived to install it led me to believe he had installed the clips that hold it in but he had not. After I paid him and he left, we figured out by trying to use the sink that it was NOT CLIPPED in! The plumbers boss would not do the right thing so I called the manufacturer to find out where I could get more clips, and Ruvati sent me replacement clips at no charge because of the trouble! Ruvati is the kind of company that makes me feel good about making a purchase with them. I highly recommend their products and will purchase their products again.

> 24 hourI am very pleased. I looked at lower priced sinks with the same design, but two things helped me decide to choose the Ruvati. The high reviews and I noticed this sink rises 1/4 above the counter vs. the other final lower price contender which laid flat on the counter. I didnt think I would care for the edge of the sheet metal look on the lower priced sink. I bring this point up because I studied this purchase a lot and the raised edge vs. flat edge were not so obvious, at least to me. The other feature that was not obvious and I would definitely want are welded gussets on either side of the center faucet mounting hole which this sink has. I discovered this during install, the commercial style faucet I installed is rock solid. Without these gussets your faucet may flex the sheet metal or you have to add a block of wood when you mount the faucet, an added step and method I dont care for. I didnt want a four hole sink but settled on it after deciding this was the best sink to purchase. I installed the R.O. faucet to the right and two soap dispensers, hand and dish, it looks good and I like the functionality. Finally, I have to say, it comes in the most impressive packaging I have seen. I wish I didnt have to throw it away.

> 24 hourBought this for our sons new house. At this time sink had to be replaced and not replacing countertops at this time so had to go with the 33. It is just truly fabulous. Son has been actually cooking and appliances, sink, faucet make such a huge difference when you actually use them several times a day. Hes thrilled and we are delighted it worked out and he loves it. It was easy to install BUT they had to rework the plumbing, only two trips to the hardware store, but that was expected since going from 2 sinks to one. The house is 80 years old so you never know what to expect. Also, no issues with delivery. Arrived safe and sound and ready to install.

> 24 hourI purchased this sink after thorough consideration and return of 2 other sinks that did not work well with our kitchen style. This one was the perfect size, fit and goes well with our kitchen style. The installation was simple, the finished product looks great in my kitchen. It comes with every thing you need to know and the customer care response team is very good in answering questions if you have any. All in all I would give it 4.5 stars. Even after months we continue to get compliments on our sink. The only downside I feel in months of usage is that the basin couldve been a little more inclined so the extra water collected in corners would percolate with gravity. But its a minor con compared to all the compliments we get on it as well as the ease of use with it particularly with the inside basin grill that comes with it. Saves it from a lot of wear and tear and scratches. All in all It is well worth it compared to much pricier items. Thanks.

> 24 hourI have been using this sink for 6 months now and so far I loved it. I had my plumber install it so I can not tell if the installation is easy or hard. This sink is beautiful, big and strong. It will instantly upgrade your kitchen look especially if your sink is on an island like mine. It becomes the focal point of your kitchen. If fits perfectly within the standard kitchen sink hole without any additional cutting. With that said, because of the size of this sink, my garbage disposal does not fit without making a change in the pipe configuration under the sink. I opted to remove to garbage disposal since I dont use it much. This sink comes with a drain cup that catches solid wastes. Keep this into your consideration if you have to have your garbage disposal. In order to keep this sink looking beautiful, you will need to wipe it clean and dry as much as possible as water stains can form. I have given up wiping the bottom of the sink as it is just too much work but I keep the sides and top wiped clean all the time. All in all, this sink is solid, big and beautiful. You will love how it looks in your kitchen.

> 24 hourMy home was built in 1927 and my kitchen is very small. This sink was installed in a 24 cabinet base. The installer had to remove a portion of the inside cabinet wall to install this sink but well worth the extra expense. My goal was to have the largest sink possible in this small space. This sink is deep and has straight sides making it look larger than it actually is. While this is a very contemporary and industrial looking sink it fits the style of my new kitchen very well with a stainless steel and black range and black fridge and dishwasher. This sink is sturdy and the 16 gauge stainless steel contributes to the sturdiness. I love the rinsing grid because I can wash large pots in the deep sink and leave them to dry overnight no longer requiring a dish drainer on the counter giving the kitchen a cleaner look. A garbage disposal was easily installed with this sink. Highly satisfied.

> 24 hourI love this sink. Our plumber loved it, too (he went on about wealthy clients -not moi, we not wealthy - insisting upon sinks and faucets that require lots of time to retrofit because they are not of topnotch quality, and how hed rather have a quick job with nice materials -such as the Ruvati sink and Kraus (KPF-2130) faucet that I chose, than rack up hours with stuff that looks good but wont last). I cook a lot and wanted a deep single sink for pot filling, dirty cookware depositing, etc. This fit the bill and It is simple and of very high quality. It is heavy stainless steel. Care is thus predictable and easy. The (also stainless, with rubber feet) drain grid needs removal and cleaning regularly - no big deal, but it helps the sink not scratch. Look up simple elegance and this sink might be there! Another consideration: we cannot afford to replace our counters now, but I purchased the sink (and faucet) with that eventuality in mind. The sink is overmounted on our cheapish composite counter, but the plumber has confirmed that when we replace the counter, the sink can easily be undermounted with the included hardware!
