High Quality except missing details
So far been in the house for about the month and already have scratch because of the rubber legs on the grid. Turns out they are plastic therefore already scratch the surface of the sink. Kind of surprised since it was not caught through validations.

    Beautiful sink but accessories lacking
    Love the modern and sleek look of this sink and Kraus faucet. Have had for 1.5 months. Only issue is the quality of the accessories is lacking. The grid has I’m getting rusty and yes I used bar keepers friend on it. And also the sink covers are rusting and one the plating is coming off. Also the sliding pegs in grid leave marks on sink. Else the sink itself is great.

      Great Sink for the Price
      I purchased the 24" Laundry Sink for by new kitchen. Wanted something that fits a half baking sheet in both directions and this sink delivers. Plus its the deepest sink I could find. Everyone compliments the sink on how much they like it. YES, the sink scratches super easy (even when vacuuming dust out of it initially) but every steel sink will scratch when you use it so its inevitable. For the price, (vs the Kohler) this sink is well worth it. I got the KHU23 grate for it as well, its 1/2" shy on either side in the long direction direction but otherwise works great, so happy with it. Kraus, please make a grate for this sink though! Please! Also, when I went to order the grate via phone call, customer service was very easy to deal with. And an actual person was on the other line so kudos to you.

        Monster Sink, Worthy Investment
        We've used this sink for 2 years now. Paired it with the Krauss KPF-2631SFS pull down faucet. It has been incredibly durable, cleans easily, washes the hounds with ease, it's thick, quiet, dent resistant, and even more capacity than we anticipated - it's DEEP. Installation was simple, garbage disposal mounted right up, faucet install took all of 10 minutes. Included sink rack and drain cover have been fantastic accessories. Even the free oven mitt is great! Could not be happier with our choice. Please note - IT WILL SCRATCH - but that's the romance of stainless, at least to us, and we've had no issues with rust at all - even after neglecting to clean or wipe the water out for extended periods of time. This sink will not improve photography skills, however, as illustrated.

          Sink rusted in under 4 months
          Purchased in March, installed in April, this sink was beautiful until just this week tiny rust spots appeared ALL OVER the bottom of the sink…. I have had stainless sinks in the past - for many years, and NEVER has any sink developed rust spots like this. I’ve never seen anything like this before. Very disappointed. Total waste of money.

          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 feel free to reach out to us at 800-775-0703 or via email at customerservice@kraususa.com with any additional questions and we would be happy to assist.

            Looks beautiful and very spacious. I feel like doing the dishes. Very sturdy. No complain at all. But I am not sure about how long it will last. Hopefully long long time.

                I LOVE THIS SINK!
                I bought the deep 24” laundry sink and the gorgeous faucet. I’m so impressed with the superb quality! The sink is very sturdy and beautifully designed. The packaging for shipping was awesome, too. My granite people even remarked at what a high quality sink this was. The faucet is very substantial and functions flawlessly. I love the fact they they include two different flow rates, even though I didn’t need the higher one. I’m so excited to have the beautiful laundry room, and this sink and faucet are part of the show pieces! I can’t believe what an awesome deal they were. I would definitely recommend all Kraus products to my friends and family.

                  Rusting before using
                  Purchased this sink and had it installed, now the house if finished and we moved in and the sink is rusting, called Home Depot and they tranfered to the manufacturer, the person that answered said it was normal and it would go away, a week later the problem still there. The problem is that I had to pay for the install. *** NOT THE FINAL REVIEW, WAITING FOR THE FINAL SOLUTION ***

                    So I moved into this 40 year old house and a local plumber advised me not to go too crazy on sink depth while doing remodel. The deepest I could go is 9" and I am glad I followed his words. This Kraus single hole 25" sink is the most gorgeous 9" SS sink I could get. The disposal is installed at higher level than the sewage drain to avoid sewage back flow. No need to re-route the existing piping = huge cost/time saving. While the description says it needs 27" cabinet at least but bear in mind it is a huge and deep sink. Before installation, please make sure the door hinges are screwed on. You probably won't have a chance to add them later unless you have some fancy tools to get in very narrow spaces. Mine cabinet is 30" wide and there are not too much room left for dishwasher high-loop (we make it work in a very creative way) and no room for air gap installation. Single hole style is not a problem for us as we are never a fan of soap dispensers. We love the sleek look. It does leave water marks and probably scratches in the future but we are not too worry about it.

                        I find this Krause sink to be amazing to use when cleaning even the largest pans, and my 15lb. dog! It makes a statement with a professional kitchen appearance. I love this Krause sink! Well worth the investment.

                          High quality all in one sink !
                          This sink is absolutely beautiful ! I am very pleased with how it looks in my kitchen & the functionality is perfect. The bowl is spacious enough for a cookie sheet to feet, lying flat making it so easy to clean. I have used the rack in the bottom to just dry dishes. It also protects the bottom from scratching. So far, no scratches, water marks are minimal & very quiet with the noise dampening pads! Would def. recommend.

                            Dramatic upgrade!
                            Installation of this sink was extremely easy, as it fit right into the existing hole from the old sink. The original sink and faucet were builder grade, this Kraus is heavier gauge and much better quality. Sink was installed with a Pfister touch-less faucet, and the combination looks amazing! The most difficult part of the installation was moving the poorly designed existing drain plumbing to accommodate the rear drain locations. As you can see, it was definitely worth the headache! We highly recommend this sink for anyone who is interested. The sink comes very well packaged, the box was damaged in a couple places, but not so much as a scratch on the sink. Very impressed with the Kraus brand! The potholder and oven mitt are also nice freebies!

                              The sink is beautiful and big. It makes it easy to wash large items like pots and pans as well as other household items you may want to wash. We went from a double sink to this single sink and we're so glad we did. We have a rolling drying rack when needed, otherwise all you can see is a very spacious gorgeous sink. We purchased the adapter to install the food disposal and it worked great. Love the square drain. We're also glad it came with a wire rack to protect the sink. You do have to chase the food to the drain sometimes, but we expected that being the style and size of sink we chose.

                              Beautiful and solid, self install
                              Installed this sink into a butcher block counter top I made for our laundry room. Great quality, solid construction. It looks beautiful in the installation. Only complaint would be that the included sink clamps are not tall enough to install into a 2" butcher block, so I had to un-install the countertop, thin it around the sink hole, re-poly, and re-install it. It would be nice if Kraus included two sizes of clamps for thick or thin counter installations.

                              Beautiful sink, fairly easy installation. High quality with great sound insulation underneath. If I could change one thing it would have a steeper slope to the drain. Standing water that doesn't make it to the drain can form small puddles which leave small hard water stains when they dry on the bottom of the sink, a slightly steeper slope would more thoroughly drain the water and prevent this.

                              Spacious Sink
                              Swapped out a double stainless sink w/this model. Space increase is significant since you're not dealing w/curved edges and the middle divider. I had to utilize the second hole for an air gap to be in code, but the overall appearance of this sink is outstanding. I also appreciate the bottom set in grate that helps protect the finish (shipment includes a full set of rubber feet replacements). Biggest install difficulty is the side clips especially w/an existing counter that is a custom pour. Also, initially you may think you have enough room around the edge, but depending on the faucet you purchase (mine is a Delta) be cognizant of any underneath mounting bracket that secures it to the top. My bracket extended the underneath clearance a good 1/8" - 1/4" toward the outer edge. All in all, very pleased.

                                The Kraus Pax drop-in sink is amazing, just what i wanted. Replacing the existing 2 bowl stainless sink, the Kraus was a HUGE upgrade. Literally! For sinks in the 33in. x 22in. opening arena, the Kraus had the LARGEST single bowl design out off all others I looked at. At 31in. wide x 18in. front to back and 9in. deep, it absolutely pushes the limit of the size of sink you can install in a 33x22 in. space. The material is THICK, thicker and more solid than other 1 bowl sinks i looked at. The finish is a brushed satin like finish that matches my new high raise faucet perfectly. I would highly recommend Kraus sinks and faucets. They are not available in Home Depot stores, I found it by accident online on Home Depot's site.

                                  We installed this sink to replace a 16 years old two-bowl sink. We couldn’t be happier with our purchase. There’s so much room in the sink now and washing dishes, pans and trays is a breeze. The faucet is very neat too! Highly recommend the product. I have only one issue and that is with one of the predrilled holes that we didn’t use. It needs to seal better. We’re still looking at options on how we could do that.

                                  From the moment I opened the box and saw the impeccable packaging, I knew this was going to be the sink I dreamed of. The plumber who installed the sink said that he could tell just by the weight and the sound absorbing material on the bottom and sides that it was a high quality sink. Once installed, I fell even more in love. The sink came with the metal grid for the bottom and a couple other accessories. I would buy again! The plumber even wrote down the model number because he wants one too!
