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

Our old enameled cast-iron two bowl undermount sink was falling and it wasnt worth remounting it -- 130 lbs, easy to stain, hard to clean, two bowls were both too small to wash a large pan. Our handyman recommended a single bowl stainless and based on some reviews on line we found this Ruvati, made in the USA. He installed it easily (taking out the old one was the bulk of the work) since its an overmount. Its easier to clean, mostly spraying down and a good run with a brush. The rack in the model is good to hold dishes so water drains below them, and they stay flat instead of tilted to the sink (which grades to the drain). The best part is the large, single bowl -- I can wash roasting pans and large fry pans in there without any problems now! Wonderful! In this day and age of dishwashers being more water-efficient, a two bowl sink no longer makes sense. This is the way to go for a modern sink! It also matches our stainless steel appliances.

We have had the sink over 7 months now and we love it. The sink came so well packaged first off which is always a concern when ordering online. It was scratch free and properly protected and also came in a black ruvati clothlike bag that gave it extra protection. We had no problems installing it and it looks super sharp especially compared to our old compartmentalized sink that was too small on both sides for bigger dishes and pots. We got tired of always having pots and pans on our counters instead of in the sink. We love the grate that came with the sink as well as the food catch which is also top notch. The sink is so easy to clean and just sharp looking. We will never own a double sink again! I would recommend this sink in a heartbeat and the only suggestion would be to maybe have the lip rolled for cleaner install. There is no rust, no scratches and it still looks brand new. My husband drilled a hole in it to accommodate our Insta-hot dispenser and that was super easy as well. Good Job Ruvati!!

Bought this to replace a 2 bowl sink that was old and dinged up from 2 decades of trying to clean large pans. It was so well packed that I could tell that it would be near impossible to have shipping damage. The only thing missing was the 3 hole plugs that were suppose to be included. I wanted the 4 hole so that I could also have a soap dispenser and also mount the faucet 1 hole to the right of center, but I needed the hole plugs for the other 2 holes. Wayfair customer service was frustrating and played stupid. I doubt that I ever receive their 3 hole plugs. Ruvati is in Austin and so am I so I contacted them directly. They sent them via fed-X and they are installed. Now this project is complete. The sink is of excellent quality and is more useful than I was expecting. With todays house plans, where the kitchen is in the living area, it is the perfect sink. All my huge pans fit and can actually soak if needed. I also ordered the Ruvati faucet and I am very pleased.

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.

After researching replacement sinks for months to fit an existing granite cutout, I purchased a Kohler sink, which arrived damaged in spite of substantial packaging. The damage was likely due to the flimsy construction (18 gauge stainless steel). I returned the Kohler sink and purchased the Ruvati RVH8000 and am extremely happy with all aspects of this quality product. I was concerned with the Chinese origin of this product, but was surprised and very pleased with the Ruvati. It is comparable with high-end European sinks. Here are some key attributes which I hope potential purchasers find useful; - Packaging--box within a box with honey comb cardboard, styrofoam and edge protectors, pretty much impervious to shipping damage. - Construction--16 gauge commercial type stainless steel with welded seams, integrated drainage guides - Finish--Brushed satin - Mounting technique--Drop in with perimeter clamps underneath, plumbers putty interior seal, silicone exterior perimeter seal - Ease of installation--Moderate for experienced DIYer This sink replaced a rusting cast iron/porcelin unit and is a big upgrade--matches our SS apliances perfectly. The hardest part of my specific installation was enlarging the existing granite cutout to accomodate this large sink. I also upgraded our disposer to the Waste King L8000 at the same time, which will be reviewed separately.

I spent quite a bit of time looking for a new drop in sink for our remodeled laundry room. We were looking for something typical for a laundry room purposes, soaking clothes, but we were also looking for a place to give our dog a bath and possibly a place to soak dishes when the extended family shows up for holidays. This sink seems to be a good fit for us. We’ve used it more than anything to give our Shih Tzu a bath. Because it is deep, she isn’t as likely to jump out. The extra depth also makes it easy to fill a pail or 5 gallon bucket. The sink is very well made and was easy to install. The faucet we selected mounts directly to the sink basin. The extra heavy metal of the sink makes the faucet feel very secure. I did have problems with the two mounting clips along the rear edge of the sink. These clips wouldn’t stay in a vertical position. Every time I tried to tighten them, the clip rotated instead of clamping down on the sink. I came up with an easy fix that worked well. See the attached picture. I used a piece of ½” copper pipe, cut to length, to brace the clip against the side of the sink. The other six clips brace themselves against the side of the sink. As others have mentioned, the packaging is better than anything else I’ve seen.

4.5 stars - almost perfect with some general issues. Pros - This is a beautiful sink that really upgraded the look and feel of the kitchen sink. It is deep and can fill up a lot of pots and dishes with no problem. The dimensions fits perfectly and replaced our existing sink (dimensions were pretty much spot on). Theres a general slant that allows food material to flow easier to the middle. I never had a grill in any sinks I used before before but I really liked how the food flow under the grill without attaching to the bottom of pots and pans.It also protects the sink bottom from general scratches. The sink itself is pretty heavy weight and does not have any of the typical hollow sound that accompanied some of the cheaper stainless sinks. Cons - Because it is fairly deep, it does cut into the below sink cabinet space. The sink requires pretty frequent cleaning to minimize mold and grime that tend to stick to the corners. The grill also need periodic cleaning as grime tend to stick to the corners. The sink also attracts water spots and does requires a lot more wiping to maintain a clean look. Shipping and packaging was perfect. It arrived on time and was perfectly packaged. No complaints whatsoever. Overall - A friend commented that if she ever had her own place, shed want a sink just like ours. Im pretty happy with this sink - minus the extra cleaning required... it exceeded my original expectations. If youre ok with doing general wipe downs daily and want a stainless steel sink, this is the sink to get.

Nice sink. Very durable and heavy gauge. Easy to install.

I 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!

We were looking for a stainless steel sink to replace an 18 year-old composite with double sinks that was fading and hard to clean. Our plumber recommended a 16 gauge stainless steel sink since he has installed and seen the cheaper stuff from the box stores which rust and twist. We read the reviews and bought the Ruvati RVH8001 which our plumber said was higher quality than he normally sees. The Ruvati was so well packaged in strong styrofoam plus it was wrapped in a strong cloth bag with a draw string to prevent scratching. The Ruvati sink comes with a grid that lays nicely on the bottom to place large pans and dishes on. Its deeper than we realized (10) which required some cutting out of the side walls of the cabinet but fits nicely in the cabinet with minimal plumbing adjustments. We paired it with a new Moen Camerist faucet and a new Badger 15 garbage disposal and could not be happier with this sink which fits in with the kitchen layout.
