Ruvati 15 x 20 inch Drop-in Topmount Bar Prep Sink 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Single Bowl - RVH8110

Just installed this sink. Looks fantastic. Real high quality material. No loud water sound. I did have a professional install it so I cant speak to that part of it. I cant believe how much I like this sink. It looks waaaay bigger than my double basin sink but its the same size. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the slant at the bottom. The other reviews are right. The cut of the bottom is not angled enough for food particles to flow easily to the drain. Rice, pasta, etc needs a removable spray nozzle to push the food to the drain. Like watering down your driveway of debri. Other than that, I love my new sink.

The sink looks great. We dont have issues with water pooling as some reviews mentioned. I think that is only an issue if the counter is not level. I used to own a shipping store and am impressed with the packaging job. My only complaint is that this is sold as a 33x22 sink that can drop into most existing installations. We had another 33x22 inch sink installed with a 20.75 x 31.5 hole in a stone counter top. The good news is this sink provides significantly more bowl room once installed. Ive included pictures of the cutout template with a tape measure provided for this sink. There is no way this fits most existing installations. However, the hang up isnt the sink itself. It is the mounting clips that stick out on all sides. In lieu of recutting the stone, I straightened(bent) all of the mounting clips to hug the bowl and attached wires and tensioners below to anchor the sink. With this modification, it fit into my existing hole. Without modification you need a32.25x21.25 hole. I think the anchoring system could be re-imagined for the better on this sink to fit more installations, however this is a great sink and I would buy it again knowing I had to make modifications.

Best decision ever! Giant sink, easy to clean (assuming you clean your sink regularly, as I cannot comment on how easy it is to get goo out of the corners if you leave it until filthy). I say that because I was worried about the zero radius corners, reading all sorts of nonsense online about using q-tips and other nonsense. Not a problem- no q-tips used here! It’s installed in a 36 inch corner cabinet. Fitted our old Insinkerator, and the four holes allowed for our RO filter faucet, dishwasher air-gap, soap dispenser and faucet. We used the Forius faucet, which has a lot of pressure to reach all sides/edges. We are going to add a reducer to bring the gpm to 1.5 to the faucet shortly, because it’s too much spray in the spray mode and we are in California, which requires a lower gpm. One thing though- It was harder to clean before we used Gel Gloss kitchen and bath polish (available at many hardware stores in their cleaning section). It smooths down the ridges in the stainless, fills the pore and helps the water bead and run down in the almost flat bottom of the sink. It’s the kitchen safe version of Rainx. The flatness of a zero radius sink bottom is the other reason to have a more forceful spray on the faucet. After a few weeks of using the polish, the sink is smoother and easier to clean. The edges of this drop-in sink are raised, but wipe down easily. I like the raised edges better because I can manage how wet the caulking gets and reduce mold formation. Every undermount sink has black mold in the caulking and it’s difficult to replace the caulking when that happens a few years down the road. This sink sealed well to our Corian countertop and only required a thin layer of clear caulk to seal well. Installation is okay- there are clips all around the sink. The back has stabilizing pieces that will require a little fussing to get it to sit flush all around. It is very secure and sufficiently insulated that it is not loud and clanging when you move things around. The rack helped that too and to reduce scratches. It looks better (fewer scratches, and easier to clean) than our friend’s much more expensive sink with all the attachments. We use a silicone rack sometimes, but do not miss the integrated items from using her sink. We have had ours for a few months now, and it has been an amazing change from our too tight enameled cast iron sink that stained every time we put a pot in it. It’s so big that I do not mind washing dishes in the sink! Best sink I have ever had/used.

this sink is AMAZING!!! I replaced a same size double cast iron sink and had to cut the corners of my countertop as this sink is zero radius, but it installed with no problems and I LOVE IT! we were unable to secure the stays that keep the sink from being able to be pushed back out because there was only an inch of room or so and we couldnt squeeze our arms up to do that but I dont think it will be an issue. The weight will hold it down and I used silicone around the sink to prevent water from seeping under. I could practically bathe in here!! It is HUGE!! The included metal grate allows pots and pans and knives to not scratch the bottom of the sink and the sink is even big enough for me to have an over sink drain (shown in picture) and still be large enough to wash everything.

Bought 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.

I have had this sink installed for about 4 months. The sink is beautiful, love the grate, it really helps protect it. Has a really high quality drain, that is easy to clean out. However; when my plumber went to install it, it was missing an essential piece for installation, a washer of some type that would go with this drain. He feared that he would have to use, the basic cheap drain that he had. He was able to pair this drain with, a standard piece and it has not leaked. That was the fear he had. I love my sink, and it is very deep and more than big enough at 25”. It does have some scratches, but I feel this is to be expected with stainless. Like I said, the grate really helps protect it from scratching.

While the sink is OK. I have to take issue with the marketing plan. Specifically the decision to put the cutout dimensions in a DWG file. I was unable to open this file even by using Autodesks on-line software. Why am I making an issue of this? Because I, like most of us, do not want to have to cut counter tops if it can be avoided. So one of my important criterion was a sink with a compatible cut out dimension. I have a more or less standard cutout. Without being able to open the DWG drawing I relied on the sink dimensions that are viewable and estimated the cutout required. DONT DO THAT. I believe the reason Ruvati makes it difficult to see the required cutout is because due to the design of the sink, the cut out is a lot larger that one would guess from looking at the published sink dimensions. Remember the cutout dimension drawing is simply a rectangle. So why does Ruvati make it so difficult to see it by using a non standard file format? And why doesnt Ruvati simply state the required cutout in the published detail? I believe its because many would realize that they will have to make a new cutout IF they have the room to do it. Ruvati will no doubt claim that they provided the info in the special (rectangle) DWG drawing. But IMO its a fig leaf. Dont buy unless you verify the cutout dimension first.

We love this sink. Like many other reviewers, we wanted the heavier 16 gauge steel and the extra deep basin. The dimensions were bigger in every direction than our old sink, but it still fit in our existing cabinet. It gives the illusion that the kitchen is actually bigger just because it fills in every available inch of the cabinetry. The sight lines even make the kitchen look more tidy since dirty dishes arent as visible while theyre waiting to be washed. Weve never had a sink with a rinse grid, but we absolutely love it for hand washing. It may flex under the weight of a stock pot filled with water, but its great for keeping food particles off dishes as you wash. Weve had no problems with draining or pooling as a result of the contours on the bottom, but we do need a sprayer to get into the corners. We decided to remove our old garbage disposal so we could fit this sink and we dont regret it at all. The strainer cup is very deep (2) and sturdy and we have no trouble emptying it as needed. We were warned that the sharp zero radius corners would be harder to clean so we were prepared to be a lit more careful and thorough. After a few months, it was sad to see the first of the inevitable scratches. It would have been nice to keep pristine forever, but thats unrealistic. It should bring us years of service.

Beautiful Sink, it arrived exactly as described and fit perfectly in my counter. Packaging was really good, protected the sink from any possible damage and product is very high quality and look great in my kitchen. I had to cut out a oversized corian sink that had cracked and this was the perfect replacement. It is quite large and exactly what the wife wanted. The steel is thicker than most sinks and quieter. I have had it in for a couple months and it is holding up well. The sink gets used heavily and comes with a terrific drain with a deep strainer that holds all the scraps. I would highly recommend this sink, just make sure you measure as it is quite large and exact to the measurements listed.

Beautiful 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.
