Customer Reviews for KRAUS Kore 36 in. Farmhouse/Apron-Front Single Bowl 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Kitchen Workstation Sink with Accessories

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 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.

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 ?

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.

I love my new Kraus sink, renos always take a long time and we have a bit to go. I will let you see new pics later, when I start my Xmas cooking.

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

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.

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.

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.

This is under construction but we love this sink in our old kitchen, makes a great upgrade. Drains beautifully, tricky to put in, but we figured it out.

very happy with this product the price its worthy

Love this new sink workstation. Installation went smooth.

Installed this sink in our totally remodeled 30 year old kitchen. I couldn't be more pleased with the product. Ordered from Amazon and it arrived quickly and packaged well. After much research and some help from my brother who also has a Kraus sink as well, I finally made my decision. I looks great in my new kitchen. My plumber who installed it said he's seen these in a lot of high end homes. Glad we purchased this sink and Britt faucet.

I adore this sink! It is amazing! Every one of my contractors commented on it and the installer said he had never seen a nicer one! The finish is amazing (but don't use a sponge on it...I scratched mine a little) and the accessories are so useful and easy to use. You won't be disappointed. This is as much a work of art as it is a working sink!

What can I say? Can a person be in love with a sink? The Kore Workstation is by far the showpiece of my renovated kitchen. It is stylish, functional, beautiful and tough. The plumber and the granite guy both commented "wow, that's an amazing sink!" Friends love the kitchen but always wind up standing at the sink with comments like, "Holy cow!" "This is gorgeous!" "How much is this and where did you buy it?" When I break out the cutting board and silicone rack, they lose their minds. For day to day use, I love it because I don't have to worry about the edges of the sink; with the low-profile drop in lip, the edges of my granite are protected. I can toss utensils and bowls with no worries. Another plus is that I can extend the silicone drying rack and insert the cutting board (thereby covering the sink) and add 33" to my countertops for parties and such. I also chose the Kraus faucet which pairs perfectly. The finger-tip touch to turn it on and off is a delight and the tall pull-down sprayer gives the function of a commercial kitchen in a sleek look. The sink and faucet make me feel like I am in a gourmet kitchen. And for the naysayers who lament about "rust spots" or "blemishes"...I have only had one or two tiny ones and a soft cloth and Ceramabryte (the glass cooktop cleaner) took care of them with no problem and there's been no recurrence. I did learn it is important to use the bottom rack to allow the bottom of the sink to drain and dry...since I did this, no more spots. And the warranties from Kraus can't be beat. I could not recommend this sink and faucet more highly. I hope Kraus comes out with the colander basket soon as this would make this sink the best complete workstation on the market today. I shopped Ticor and others and I'm so glad I went with Kraus. Buy it now and start loving your kitchen again.

This sink is the centerpiece of my remodeled kitchen and I absolutely love it. I cook a lot and the accessories make my life so much easier. I keep the cutting board over the colander and use them daily. I can even slide a dirty pan underneath them and out of the way while it is soaking. The width of the sink still gives me plenty of space to wash and rinse. The drain at the corner makes it very efficient for utilizing space underneath for cabinets. I have a standard cabinet under the drain, plus a drawer base and recycling/trash pullout. My contractor had not done this before but he really liked the result. I had looked at a competitor that was very expense and I believe the Kraüs quality may be even better. If you want a galley-type sink-workstation, this is perfect!

Craftsmanship is outstanding! Accessories are a real bonus and the quality of material overall is impressive. I love the roll out drying rack that fits on built in ledge!! We have just installed so no usage or cleaning feedback yet. Sounds quiet when you tap on basin. I would highly recommend to anyone. Hands down the best stainless steel farmhouse sink out there!

If you are looking for a farmhouse/apron front sink you already expect to either pay a premium for install or put in a little thought to prepare the sink base yourself. We just installed this sink and expect it to wear like any other stainless sink. We replaced a very nice cast iron sink with this as we didn't want another white cast iron sink as ours was prone to showing every wear mark from the other "K" brand. Overall, the sink was pretty easy to install. I installed the sink in a 36 inch base cabinet. This is contrary to what most of what you find on the internet. The internet claims you need to install this type of sink in a base at least 3 inches larger than the sink. After preparing the base there is a minor reveal of about 1/16" on either side of the base. Basically, the face of the cabinet is cut to match the height of the sink and the sides are notched to match the profile. I also cut the top of the base where the sink rests, so when the sink is installed the rear of the base is a little proud of the sink. This way the countertop does not put weight onto the perimeter of the sink. The sink is siliconed in place. When the countertops are installed the space between the countertop and the sink will have silicone as well. The drain that came with the sink was mostly plastic, so I opted for a complete stainless steel drain I purchased from a third party. Overall, my wife and I are very happy with this sink. We joke with our kids that if we had this when they were babies we could easily have bathed them in this huge 36" sink. We can't wait for our countertops and backsplash to be in place to finish off this remodel.

This sink is big and beautiful. It has a smart design that doesn't put the drain in the middle of the sink, yet allows it to drain easily. It easily holds big pots and pans for cleaning. I am very happy!

I am very pleased, so far, with this sink. It was a bit challenging to install but we worked through it.

Offset drain gives you lots of space undercounter

Beautiful and deep the workstation is perfect

I use this sink on 99% percent of 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.

A quality product in top quality packaging. Krause makes very good products

We love this Kraus Kore workstation sink! It is so versatile and easy to care for! The accessories make it fabulous for entertaining! We love the sink and would install the exact same sink again! Love the cutting board and drying rack! The grate is also keeping it looking brand new!

Definitely buy all the accessories. The sink is so big and having the drying rack and cutting board comes in handy

I recently purchased this sink and I really like the looks of it but I didn't realize how much water it takes to fill this sink. If I just have a few dishes to wash up I have to run 4 or 5 gallons of water to have any height to wash in. If you take out the grid the sink gets all scratched up. If I get the sink bottom protection then I have a grid I either throw away or store. I would love an accessory that is a small sink that would set in just like the colander does.

The grate was the primary reason for buying this particular sink. However, the sink is flat and even when using a hose to move the food particles down the drain, they don't move. That means removing the grate at least once a day. I do recommend buying the same unit with the drain hole at the corner of the sink and manufactured to drain accordingly.

It's big,and looks great. It comes with everything you need to try and keep this well-made sink looking good for years to come. Only time will tell
