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

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.

I ordered the Ruvati sink and two days later it was delivered in perfect shape. It was extremely well packed and crated. It hasnt been installed yet, but I can see it is of fine quality. Weighs 35 lbs -- very heavy 16 gauge stainless. Similar sinks from Elkay and Kohler are lighter weight 18 gauge. The Ruvati has a nice brushed stainless finish -- shiny, but not high polish. It will match your stainless appliances. This sink also has a huge basin for a 25 x 22 top mount. The Ruvati comes pre-drilled with one hole and unfortunately, there are no alternative configurations available. I would like to have been able to order this sink with two holes in an 8 spread for a bridge mount faucet or without any pre-drilled holes so I could have it custom drilled locally. I called Ruvati to inquire, and the fellow I spoke with wasnt very interested in my two cents about this… Anyway, its OK -- I found a unique, retro/modern single hole faucet by Jaclo from their Steamvalve line, so I am pleased. The only other thing to mention (that you cannot see in the photo) is that the interior basin has the Ruvati logo prominently etched into the top back wall. Its not unattractive, but if youre like me and dont like branding plastered all over everything in your kitchen, this may be one more thing to bug your aesthetic. Ill learn to live with/ignore it because I have no choice, but if I did, I would tell them to be more discreet with their labeling. But -- overall the sink really is perfect for my application. I would recommend it to anyone with limited counter space looking to maximize their basin size.

This Ruvati sink is the bomb!! I had a 1959 cast iron sink for almost 25 years ... imagine the difference this gorgeous sink made! I paired it with a restaurant quality faucet (large and functional) and Im on my way to a chefs kitchen =) It goes well with my Subzero stainless fridge and my wonderful Miele stainless dishwasher. The quality of this Ruvati sink surprised me at first ... the 16 gauge steel is very sturdy. The handyman that installed it for me (20 minute install) was so impressed with the quality that he asked me for the information to purchase one for himself. He didnt believe me when I told him how much it cost (he thought it would have been 3 times what I paid). Ive been using my Ruvati for the past few months and I have no complaints. The included rack for the bottom is attractive and sturdy (just like the sink). The sink is easy to keep clean and shows little to no water drop stains (low to no maintenance!) I would recommend this sink to any and everyone ... it is perfection!

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.

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.

This Ruvati sink looks great, but it already (after less than two weeks) has developed a rust spot. I want to replace it ( who wants a rusted-out stainless steel sink??); but you need to send me the replacement first so I will not be without a sink while I am waiting for the replacement. Please write, or call to tell me how to get this done. Thank you, Steve Moffat Dec 26-UPDATE: The Ruvati rep get back to me right away; he assured me that the sink itself had not and could not rust, and that it would clean up with some light scouring.He recommended Barkeepers Friend, which I got , and used; and, indeed, th erust spot is gone, easily. It was not part of the sink, which again looks great. Other than a slight issue with drainage, this sink is perfect.

We love this sink! Going from a double bowl to a single was so worth it. I went back and forth looking at tons of options and reviews before we ordered this one. This sink is huge. We can get multiple large Pyrex baking pans or the parts from my smoker inside the sink making clean up and soaking much easier. The rack for the bottom is great and protects the sink perfectly. The drain system is really well designed. My wife really wanted the disposal so I swapped out the drain and went back to the disposal with no issues. Advice - Use their included template for the cut out and it will install easily. The packaging was great, no damage at all in transit. Cons (minor and worth it) - It is stainless steel which is not perfect (scratches and shows water marks easier than others). The attached photos were taken at least a month after installing it to give you an idea. It cleans up nicely. - The sharp corners and flat bottom do lead to slower drainage. We have to spend a little more time spraying water to get the food debris down the drain but it is worth it. - Installation was a hassle. Going from a double to single sink requires more plumbing work and all plumbing requires multiple trips to the hardware store. The clips to hold it in do want to twist out of the way but it seems to be holding. A deep well socket was the easiest way to get it as tight as possible. My install would have gone easier if I had just used their included template for the cut out the first time rather than trying to make the opening as small as possible. In the photos I included a shot with the drying rack we ordered at the same time. I linked to it because we like this design so much but Im sure something similar will work just as well.

i look a lot of sink on amazon but this sink is more modern looking and good review i used to buy a lot of sink in home depot because i have many rent houses this sink is much large space inside because around edge is short this sink is much thicker than any other sink in home depot selling so good for long term and very good modern look but i do not like the sink strainer little cheap made and inside small holes is too small so more often clean up the small basket inside the sink is nice modern look but inside corner too perfect square little hard to clean ( kohler made same style more round corner inside better) most i like the sink is much easy installation specially mounting clip is very long and very good anybody buy sink have to be for long term this is very good heavy duty stainless many cheap sink make a lot of scratched after 2 years use this sink make much bigger space inside than same size any other sink i recommend this sink and happy this sink is not cheap but what you paid what you get good quality product

I 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.

I was a bit skeptical to purchase a sink online. I buy many things online but its mainly clothes, shoes etc. things that are really easy to return or carry to the store. The thought of not liking the sink crossed my mind before I ordered it and having to Re-package and ship it out made me really doubt if it was a good idea to buy it online. But I started reading the reviews and most of them were skeptics like me. They all said they were extremely happy that they took a chance on this sink because it was beautiful, high quality and an amazing value. I figured thousands of people couldnt be wrong. So I took a chance myself! Im so happy and delighted that I took a chance because this sink is really gorgeous. As soon as I tried to take it out of the box I knew I was going to need help because its heavy and that shows a lot of quality. My 2 sided sink was only 8 inches deep and now with no division and 10 inches deep it makes a world of a difference. The quality and design are superb and the sleek lines and thin edges make every corner count. I pile my dishes all day long including my blender, pans, pots and this sink holds it all. I definetly can say I love washing my dishes in this sink and everyone that comes over to my house wants to use it because they like it so much. This sink definitely gave me more than just space it revamped my whole kitchen setting. My kitchen looks updated and fresh! If youre hesitating like I was please take a chance you wont regret it!
