Love the sink quality
I absolutely love this sink. I had a double sink before which I was not a fan of it made washing pots and pans a hassle. With the single sink from I have all the space to easily wash all of my pots and pans. I also love that it's deep and great quality stainless steel. Having different accessories that I can is a major plus.

    I recently installed the KRAUS Stainless Steel Double Bowl Sink in my newly remodeled kitchen, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The standout features of this sink are its exceptional quality and modern design, which seamlessly integrate into my kitchen's aesthetic. What truly sets this sink apart are the included accessories, which are not only practical but also enhance the overall functionality of the sink. The cutting board and rolling mat dish rack are ingenious additions that fit perfectly on top of the sink, making meal prep and cleanup a breeze. These accessories are truly a game-changer and have become essential tools in my daily kitchen routine. I also appreciate the Bottom Grid, which provides an extra layer of protection for the sink, preventing unexpected scratches and ensuring its longevity. The attention to detail and thoughtful design of the KRAUS KORE series have exceeded my expectations. Furthermore, I was impressed with the seamless shopping experience from Home Depot. The sink was shipped within 2 days, and there were no delivery issues whatsoever. In conclusion, I highly recommend the KRAUS Stainless Steel Double Bowl Sink to anyone in search of a high-quality, stylish, and functional addition to their kitchen. It's a fantastic investment that has truly elevated my kitchen experience."

    Started to rust quickly
    I like the sink a lot, the design, size, easy of installation but there is one major drawback. Less than two months it started to rust. I keep pretty clean daily, never leave anything on the bottom but started to see rust stains.

    Hello Serkan, Thanks so much for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing these stains on your new sink. I assure you; they are not rust marks. Typically, when red spots appear on a Stainless-Steel Sink like ours it is simply surface discoloration. This is usually taken care of permanently with a stainless-steel polish and/or cleaner when used according to the directions of the cleaning product. Products such as Bar Keeper’s friend and a fine 3M Scotch Brite pad are both great options. Please contact our customer service team at 1-800-775-0703 or customerservice@kraususa.com if you’d like to continue the conversation.
      awesome sink!
      We love our sink! We recently gutted and redid our kitchen and this sink looks fantastic with our new appliances and counters. The countertop company installed it and they used epoxy and 1x6's in the base cabinet to support it rather than using the clips. We've never had an undermount sink nor a single bowl before and so far we are very pleased to have made the switch. I plumbed the drain and also like how all of the plumbing is on one side of the base cabinet, allowing for much more practical storage under the sink

        My Go-To Sink!
        I use this sink on almost all of my kitchen remodels. The size is great while also still fitting in a standard 36" sink base. I love the low divider and how slim it it. This workstation sink come with all of the accessories I need and there are more that I can easily purchase. Great value for all that you get with the package. The sink is very deep and allows me to use it much better than a shallow sink. Great sink and I will be using it again on my next project.

          Help! Hot water is causing the finish to fade
          I live my sink BUT hot water dispenser has caused the brown granite composite finish to have whitish circles. I thought it was from my pots until today I saw the hot water cover over the faded area. Is their a way to refinish it ?

          Response from CSOct 30, 2023
          Thank you for your purchase of our granite composite sink! I can answer your inquiry. The stains/spots you are noticing are not part of the sink; they are deposits on the surface of the sink and can be removed with the proper cleaning methods and cleaners. Unless pure distilled water flows from your faucet, there will be dissolved minerals and salts in your rinse water. How to Remove Deposits from your Kraus sink: 1. Choose from one of the recommended cleaners listed below. 2. Swab with a microfiber cloth, nylon pad, or a 3M Scotch Brite- Natural Fiber- Non- Scratch Scour Pad. 3. Always rinse with clean water and dry your sink thoroughly. Please note that when rinse water evaporates, the mineral/salts are sometimes left behind. These are the same water spots you see on your car finish. Recommended Cleaners: • Supreme Surface® Granite Cleaner & Conditioner (may be used daily) • Soft Scrub® • Dishwashing soap • White vinegar + water solution 50/50 • Weiman® Granite Cleaner & Polish • Fantastik® Antibacterial Heavy Duty Cleaner • Formula 409® Antibacterial All-Purpose • Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser® Always be sure to follow the directions on the cleaner of your choice.

            I like this sink a lot but I have at least one nit to pick
            I'm very happy with this. I was concerned that my contractor wanted me to have a stainless sink rather than the ceramic. But It is very nice. It is nice and deep and I have no problem with it being one basin rather than two. It does seem to scratch very easily so beware of that. AND while I had been using Dawn Utlra platinum powerwash free & clear dish spray with my old sink, I started to see some problems with possible staining using it with this sink so I stopped. That is unfortunate if true as I live in a place where water availability is an increasing problem.

              DON’T BUY THIS SINK!!! MAJOR REGRET!!!
              I bought this sink less than a year ago and it’s a nightmare to keep clean. I started to get discoloration and rust in the corners. On Kraus’ website the instructions to clean the sink is to use Bar Keepers. There is NO specific Bar Keepers type listed, just Bar Keepers. Well, I used it and scratched up the bottom of my sink really bad. I did not use it on the sides, just the bottom. I called and contact Kraus via email. I emailed pictures. Their response was use the liquid. Horrible service!

                garbage
                Not scratch resistant. I used a soft plastic scraper from pampered chef and its permanently damaged. Used it routinely on my old sink. Guess they don't make things like they used to.

                Hello Todd, thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback on your KWU110-32. We are sorry to hear your experience with your Kraus product was anything other than excellent. The surface scratches which appear on stainless steel sinks rarely have any appreciable depth and will become less noticeable with age. Your sink will look better a year after installation than during the first few months of use due to the fact that the scratching will have evened out. All sinks manufactured in stainless steel perform in exactly the same way. Scratches are inevitable in any sink material, including stainless steel. These are merely usage scratches. Overtime, these scratches will become uniform with the sink's grain and blend into the overall finish. If you have any additional questions, please contact our customer support team at 800-775-0703 or email us at customerservice@kraususa.com. Kraus

                    Rust stains in brand new sink?
                    My sink was installed two days ago. Why are there rugs stains in the bottom of a stainless steel sink after two days use?

                      Beautiful design and finish. Brutal top mount to butcher block.
                      Pro: Fantastic appearance, construction quality and included options. Con: Installation was an ordeal as a top-mount to my new 1-1/2" butcher block countertop. One of the mounting clips became dislodged when setting the sink into the counter. The rim already had silicone applied. Try as I might, there was no way I would get that clip back attached to the sink assembly. I ended up detaching the countertop so I could install the sink on sawhorses.

                        Love this sink!
                        Since a couple of reviews had panned the bamboo cutting board as "low quality" I was pleasantly surprised how well-made the cutting board is. This sink is BIG. I really can't believe how nice it is after my old two-compartment sink is. Dishes fit so nicely down inside and don't clutter the countertops.

                          Beautiful, but already has rust spots!!
                          Had the sink installed, under a quartz counter, just after Thanksgiving. It took me a while to schedule the plumber, but the sink has been in for two weeks. Already seeing little rust spots on the bottom and side of the sink. I have been using the grid at the bottom of the sink and wiping it dry. Disappointed. What now? pull the counter (cut to the sink) to replace the sink? UGGH

                            Poor quality for a high price
                            Not sure what grade of junk steel Kraus is using, but I'd advise everyone to avoid the Kraus brand. As you can see from the picture the sink looks terrible after just a year of use. Kraus's customer service was curt and blamed me for the problem. Thing is none of the other stainless steel sink, washing machine, dishwasher, pots and pans, silverware show signs of staining. Beyond the cheap steel, the sharp corner make cleaning the sink a chore. Over all - there is nothing good to be said about this sink.

                              Issues with SS sink
                              I loved the concept of this workstation sink. The ability to have a basin rack, the cutting board and roll-up rack, I liked. However, I have issues with the sink since installed. The stainless steel of my sink shows signs of rust and scratches easily, believe it should of been made with 316 SS and not 304 SS. The square corners are not easily cleaned! The basin rack's rubber feet leave marks where the sit in the basin. Also, due to the sink being metal and maybe it's basin size, when draining my pot of hot water into it gives an expanding sound. Normal for this metal sink with only a drain at end. Never notice in prior 2 basin sink with drain in middle of each basin. The products quality is not up to my standard of what a Stainless Steel sink should be. I will replace with a sink with rounded corners.

                                      Great value, love the size - great for washing large baking sheets, cutting boards, and large pots/pans. Insulated walls helps with garbage disposal noise. I love that the drain is offset, especially with using workstation attachments. We paired with the same brand faucet, both feel high quality. One thing to consider with this sink is with our standard cabinet depth (24") our countertop installers said we were not able to install the quartz splash since there would not be enough room for the faucet and quartz splash. We went with a tile backsplash instead and love the result. No regrets - buy this sink!

                                        Really liked the sink it was what we were looking for. The reason for the low rating is because it scratches very easy, I know stainless sinks scratch over time but this sink scratched with the first thing we put in it. Called the Kraus customer service and they told me it is normal and to use Bars-Keeper to blend the scratches in and go with the grain ( how can you see the grain in stainless ). The other thing is the bottom corners in the sink are to sharpe/to much of a 90 degree and it’s very hard to clean, they should of rounded the corners a bit. Water doesn’t drain totally it puddles where it is angled to the drain. Otherwise we like the sink.. My suggesting look at everything before purchasing your sink. Good luck

                                          Good Size for Everyday Cook
                                          We got the sink installed a few weeks ago and just over the Thanksgiving weekend we were able to use it. We love it for its functionality and its multipurpose accessories. We cook every day and some of us are vegans and vegetarians. So, we eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and legumes. During spring and summer, we planted vegetables and required a lot of vegetable cleaning in the sink. So, this sink is perfect for this purpose and for our family. The sink itself is very strong and cannot be bend. The only con we see is that if we don't clean and wipe down the sink at the end of the night, the dried watermarks will be very visible the following morning. The luster and shininess of the stainless sink effect were gone. We don't like this as it adds extra work and stress. Thus the four stars in this review. We thought we will be losing our countertop space due to the size of this sink. But, this is not an issue at all as we can do the chopping, rinsing, and drying in the sink itself.

                                            Gorgeous, very well constructed, quiet, deep and long enough for large pots and pans with long handles. I love the thick metal rack that sits on the bottom of the sink which protects the beautiful finish. The high quality stainless is evident along with a nice cutting board and a very versatile folding rack. This is truly a work station more so than just a sink. Extremely well priced. Highly recommend it!
