Customer Reviews for KRAUS Standart PRO 30 in. Undermount Single Bowl 16 Gauge Satin Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink with Garbage Disposal

This is a big beautiful sink. The deep strainer basket is fantastic (my husband hates garbage disposals so we just went with the strainer). The grid is gorgeous and keeps things off the floor of the sink. The heavy gauge reduces noise and speaks of a very high quality product. The quartz countertop installers said that they install many sinks and this model is the best of the best. I love this sink. It's an awesome Shih Tzu bathtub too.

I could not be more overjoyed with my beautiful KRAUS SINK.

This sink fits perfectly with our new shaker cabinets. It has a deep rectangular shape with rounded corners for easy cleaning. I had looked at much more expensive sinks, but this one had far better reviews. It is 10" deep, heavy 16-gauge stainless steel, with great insulation. The sink was delivered about 4 days after my online order. The packaging was impressive -- as carefully packaged as a computer.

Absolutely Beautiful! TOP QUALITY & Looks BUT Beware... You will most likely be replacing those old outdated Counters for NEW Updated ones! (Wife Demands & All!) So I got this & Wow, what quality for a Sink. Nice & Deep & it is Insulated to help keep the hollow clankiness out of it when dishes are being done. Another nice touch was all the installation bits... Mount brackets & Drain unit... Now the only thing not figured in, was the NEW Counter Tops that had to be ordered up for my Wife to be happy. I agree her observation was correct as the old counter top didn't do this sink Justice! The Install was Quick & Easy. Kohler is the Top of The Line In my Opinion! You wont be disappointed!

Presentation of delivered product made me feel like million box. Sink with all accessories was wrapped into large black strong cloth bag with red string and Kraus logo (see pic. 1), fitted into thick styrofoam box. As I was removing piece by piece I was more and more impressed by look and great quality as each piece is made. Sink itself looks much beautiful in reality then on any picture. It's from very heavy SS (16), surface on the bottom side has rubberized coating.The size and 10" depth will be big enough for handling large pieces. Sink comes with removable SS protective grid on rubber “feet” and with rubber bumpers (pic. 2&3). This is great sink protection when handling metal utensils, flatware or metal pots. I love the basket strainer (pic. 2&3). The basket itself is 2 ¼” deep and has small handle for easy pull out when needs to be cleaned. As another bonus (listed on pic.2) comes 16”x16” 100% cotton quality black towel with Kraus logo and clip. All sink package, piece by piece are solid and well made. On pic. 4&5 is mfr.'s info on cleaning and maintenance. Part of package is cutout template. Warranty information is on pic.6. My new kitchen will be delivered within 2 weeks and I cannot wait to have the sink installed.

We feel this sink was the perfect choice for our newly remodeled kitchen! It complements our sparkling white quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and overall fresh contemporary look. This sink is quite stylish and simply very pretty to look at, with a high-end appearance for a reasonable cost. As for function, the quality is evident from the minute you open the box, as other reviewers have said. It's relatively quiet even when using the spray function on the faucet; the extra depth is great for washing baking sheets and large pots; and the softly rounded inner corners are easy to clean (versus squared corners on some contemporary sinks). One thing to be aware of if you are considering purchasing this sink is that the same feature that makes the sink so beautiful - the satin finish - also makes some pampering necessary to keep this finish looking its best. As another reviewer reported, scratches (and watermarks on the bottom) can appear, though they are tiny and barely noticeable. I love the sink so much that I am gladly invested in how best to care for it. No scouring of course, no harsh chemicals, always use the bottom grids (and be careful putting them in and taking them out), wash the sink down with dish soap and a soft sponge, dry with a soft cloth afterwards. The good news is: the stainless steel wipes (I use the Affresh brand at least once a week) seem to 'smooth out' any tiny scratches and give the sink a brand-new look. I find it's best to dry the sink, use the wipes, and then let the sink sit overnight without putting any water on it. Looks like new in the morning! After two months of regular use, I feel the extra bit of care required for this sink is worth it in exchange for how it looks. Kind of like a silk blouse! My old stainless steel sink with a regular finish was much easier to deal with. But it never looked pretty, not even when new. So, if you want a gorgeous, high-quality sink at an affordable price – and you are willing to pamper it a bit - this sink is it!

The Kraus All-in-One Undermount Stainless Steel 30x18x10 in. 0-Hole Single Bowl Kitchen Sink is the absolute highest quality stainless steel sink I have ever seen or used. It comes packaged extremely well boxed and foamed and is also packed inside of a nice black bag to prevent an scratches during transport. The sink is manufactured from 16 gauge T-304 stainless steel. There is no doubt that this sink will last a lifetime as it is solid. The drain is standard 3.5'' and installation hardware is included with the unit. The included grate keeps water flowing down the drain and also helps prevent unintentional staining from placing metallic objects directly on the sink (aka soup can / sauce can / etc) **When installing the granite counter top the 'installers' said that this was the nicest sink they have ever seen / installed.

Frills, frills, and more frills.... This is a pricey sink basin but the manufacturer has loaded it up with benefits. Heavier gauge metal, sound proofing, solid insulation, great accessories, and even special care to protect the finishes during shipping. Installation was typical of under-mount sinks. The deep drain and strainer had to be sacrificed to use a garbage disposal. A must recommend. There is one great draw back to installing this piece. When you are done you will want to upgrade everything around it.

This is a really great "chef sink". Recently renovated a kitchen and was looking for a large, single hole sink. Love that it comes with the grate protector since it is hard to find one that large. Also comes with a stainless steel rag to clean it, but we will need stainless cleaners to shine it up after a while. Overall looks great and is a good value.

This sink is big and deep. It makes it easy to wash large item like cookie sheets and crockpots. And it's deep enough to keep from splashing all over the countertops when rinsing.

This is the one! Look no further. You'll love the heavy weight steel. It comes with everything you need; however, you probably will not use the drain, as most will hookup a garbage disposal (you cannot use the supplied equipment with a garbage disposal). The pictures say it all.

This is my second Kraus single bowl sink, they're a great product. From the time you receive this, you can tell it's a premium product because of the "heft" of the product. The weight comes from being made of 16 gauge premium stainless steel vs. the normal 18 gauge found elsewhere. It has rounded inside corners vs. a squared off inside corner. This is something you really don't consider until it's time to clean the "gunk" out of a squared off corner. The stainless is type 304, which this review would turn into a book if I attempted to explain exactly what T-304 stainless was. Basically it is the highest grade used for SS sinks. Most manufacturers of high quality cookware use stainless steel similar to the Type 304 grade. The sound deadening material is amazing, there are super sized thick pads on all sides and the bottom (see pictures). There is also a Stone Guard coating on the entire outside, further deadening sound and helps with reducing condensation. I have bought numerous SS sinks which had just a couple tiny sound deadening pads and absolutely no coating on the outside. This is exactly where that "under the kitchen sink smell" comes from when condensation exists. You won't be worrying about the tin sound when running water. The product also comes with a full sized stainless steel grid. I bought a SS grid for a 50/50 basin sink, and it set me back $45. It's hard to believe at this price point you get a full sized grid. Kraus also thinks about down the road concerns. They ship a small package of extra rubber feet and bumpers for the grid for the "just in case" something gets knocked off. Moving on to the drain assembly, you actually get one and it even includes a SS debris basket! If you've never bought a kitchen sink before, you'll "sink" another $50 in your project because the drain assemblies are normally NOT included with the sink. I have to mention the polishing cloth, you also get one of those with this purchase. All in all, I really don't know how Kraus can give everything they do, at the price point they do for such a high quality product. Highly recommended!

We had it professionally installed so I can't speak to ease of install. The quality is outstanding. Love it!

This sink is amazing! Installed 4 weeks ago and it is so nice to be able to wash big soup pots with ease! Very heavy duty stainless & design ensures proper drainage. Even the shipping packaging was high quality to ensure it was delivered with no damage. Highly recommend this sink!

This sink is LARGE! I love it! I love the one whole sink without the divider. I had no need for two sides. I don't have the best picture of it, but here is one. Also I did not install this, a professional did. So I can't help with that! Totally worth the money! I love the insert that protects the sink from scratching!

I am absolutely in love with my new sink! Granted I came from a biscuit ceramic 23" sink to this, this sink feels huge. It is incredibly deep and doesn't take up much space underneath the cabinet either since it is flat on bottom. I was a little concerned about getting a "square" sink, that food would get trapped in the corners, but it really rinses out easily. The grated bottom looks super classy and I love not worrying about leaving stains on the sink or leaving dirty food on the bottom. It comes with a cute drain catcher, however, I have the garbage disposal installed, so the drain catcher doesn't fit. But the stopper that came with the sink fits the garbage disposal and is much nicer than the ugly plastic one my disposal came with. My one issue is it seems to get water spots on it pretty easily and the water on the sides of it seem to bead up, which makes the water spots happen easier. However, I think you'll run into that issue with a lot of stainless steel sinks anyways. And for anyone interested, the faucet is also Kraus. Looks beautiful together.

OVERALL: Impressive soundproofing. Rust and condensation preventing finish on outside. 304 grade stainless 16 gauge is excellent for a sink. Full size grid, and extra large drain basket nice touches. SOUNDPROOFING: Large heavy soundproofing pads on each side and bottom. Doesn't even sound like a stainless sink when you drop silverware, just a dull thud. Best I've heard. METAL & FINISH: Looks great, satin finish. 16 gauge thickness is better than most. 304 grade stainless is excellent quality for preventing rust, high in nickle and chromium Stone guard spray on bottom should keep enclosed areas from rusting. EXTRAS: Drain is extra large, and the catch basket is too. Nice to keep them from getting completely clogged during heavy cleaning. Grid for bottom of sink is nice for drying or just keeping the bottom from getting scratched up. SHIPPING: I had this shipped. Some of the best packaging I've seen. Heavy reinforced box. Great soft cloth bag to protect sink. Very well thought out.

Kraus makes some beautiful, well crafted products. The attention to detail in the packaging is second to none. This sink is constructed out of 16-gauge T-304 stainless steel. Most stainless steel sinks you'd find in the stores only have 18-gauge stainless steel. With 16-gauge being thicker it provides both strength and sound damping qualities. To additionally dampen sounds, the bottom of this sink is covered with a sprayed on layer of rubberized material. When you tap it the sound is solid not tinny. The documentation provided with this sink is very well put together. It is very easy to follow, with no head scratching trying to understand procedures. This sink was extremely easy to install, and looks stunning in our kitchen. This sink has all mounting hardware included, channel grooves sloped toward the drain, making draining foolproof. To top off everything, Kraus includes a Lifetime Warranty! Love everything about it, and highly recommended.

Our kitchen was finished about a month ago, and so far this sink is wonderful because of the depth, I am able to clean large items with ease and the water doesn't go spraying all over,(like my previous sink). The heavy gauge stainless feels solid.The included stainless steel bottom grid is great for preventing dishes from covering the drain. The small radius corners make it easy to clean. The strainer basket is so useful, we originally were going to just use it temporarily until we acquired a garbage disposal, but now we find it simple and easy to just empty the strainer each day,(hopefully lowering our carbon footprint somewhat?). Oh yeah, did I forget to mention, this sink looks very beautiful and contemporary .I highly recommend this sink. Spend the extra money, it's worth it!!!

This undercount sink looks great. The contractor who installed it commented when he opened the box , "oh you got the good one". Came packaged up nice like an iPhone.i didn't install it so I can comment on ease of installation . Price wise this wasn't among the most expensive sinks that we looked at.

As expected from Kraus, the sink is packaged well; foam in the exterior box and foam in the interior box that holds the sink. It comes with the sink template, stainless steel grids and stainless steel baskets, and all mounting hardware. Being that this sink is 16 gauge, this is much sturdier and heavier than my previous sink. I also love the depth of the sink (10 inches) which gives me an extra 4 inches from the builder-grade sink installed. Although I'm still deciding on the new countertop, but I know I'll need an extra person or two to help support the weight of the sink when I install it unless I get it integrated with the stainless steel countertop.

I have NEVER seen anything packaged so well! Unfortunately, I am not ready to install it for another 4 weeks, but wanted to get my review in sooner. I will attempt to add an extended review & pics., later, once the install is done. In the meantime, I am VERY impressed with it so far. The look is very sleek & modern, but classy enough that I think it will work in any kitchen environment. I will be adding it to a Traditional/Rustic looking kitchen. The channel grooves actually look a little like fauceted diamond cuts, making it even more stylish & classy. The pic. I have added shows how well the packaging is done. In addition to the normal styrofoam encasement, you will see there is an entire nylon cloth bag that completely encloses the sink. This bag actually includes a drawstring (see the red dot near at top end of package), so you can reuse the bag for other things. In addition, they include a soft wiping cloth, that is not mentioned in the description--which they should! I wouldn't be surprised if the cloth worked on on stainless steel appliances, in keeping the smudges off, which I will test out when installed. Also, it is quite heavy, to make me feel that it is sturdy, but not so heavy that I can't lift it myself (with a little effort at my 130lbs.). The only reason for the slight downgrade on the Value, is that I have a hard time with paying $400 for a kitchen sink, regardless of how nice it is; so if you can get it when it's on sale, then I would make it a 5-star value.

There are a host of positive aspects of this sink, and not one negative I can think of. From the time you receive this, you can tell it's a premium product because of the "heft" of the product. The weight comes from being made of 16 gauge premium stainless steel vs. the normal 18 gauge found elsewhere. It has rounded inside corners vs. a squared off inside corner. This is something you really don't consider until it's time to clean the "gunk" out of a squared off corner.

All in all, I really don't know how Kraus can give everything they do, at the price point they do for such a high quality product.

I ordered everything from Home Depot, counters, sink, faucet, soap dispenser etc. I had an top mounted sink before and wanted and undermounted sink when I replaced my formica counters with granite. At home depot they asked me what type of sink I wanted and they hooked me up with a stock sink. I didn't know or think about the fact that there is a selection of sinks out there. Getting granite counters take a LONG time so I ended up perusing sinks on the website and saw this one on sale, a little under $200 and cheaper than the sink they originally ordered me. I was able to return the unreceived sink that did not even contain the drain (I didn't know what it came with originally) and bought this one. I did not know what to look for in a sink, but I figured the grate on the bottom would be ok, maybe in the way. I had no idea what a cool sink I was getting. Now that I've been able to use it for a couple of weeks, I HAD to write a review about it. I don't write these often. Not only did it come with the drain, so no need to spend another chuck of money on that, but it is a deep sent drain with a little basket with a handle, so removing the drain is soooo easy and not disgusting to touch even with the food bits in it. Also, it is a deep basket so it can hold a lot of food bits to dump out. The grate is totally not in the way and is keeping my sink new looking even with little kids dumping bowls and things in the sink. The grate keeps a barrier that prevents everything from hitting and scratching the bottom. Also, you may think there would be food build up under the grate, but I also bought a faucet with a pull-down sprayer, so I spray the food in the drain basket without having to touch anything, and cleaning the sink is a cinch. There is a slope to the sink so water does not pool but the grate allow for jars to stay upright and not fall over when filling them up. Also, really important in case you are getting granite counters too, don't wipe down your sink if there are granite bits in there, first install the drain and water and only wash out the granite chips down the drain. When you clean the sink, wipe it from side to side with the grain of the brushed stainless steel and stall off the time when it does become scratched. The installer was kind enough to share this info and prevented me from scratching my brand new sink. Another thing if you are setting up a new sink and counters, make sure the have the right number of holes drilled by the installer, they do up to 4 for free. I finally got my undercounter water filter and can fill a filtered water drink along with rinsing something else at the same time. Not to mention the SIZE of this sink, this was a little smaller than the other I was looking at but the sink is HUGE, if you want to wash small kids (I did that in my old double sink when the kids were little) or animals it will work so well, and catch fur (from the animals). The installer told me it can hold all that no problem. One other recommendation, buy a small 6 inch squeegee and you can clear off water that collects around your faucet in seconds, no more dealing with the sponge constantly! And Home Depot gave me the option of how I wanted the counters cut around the sink, I asked for a small amount of counter to overhang over the sink, I am so glad I had it cut that way, the edge of the sink is slightly under the counters so the edge collects no food or debris, and it looks really sharp. I am so happy with this product, and did not realize what a great deal I was getting with everything I bought! My sink has never been this easy to maintain. THANKS!!

I'll start off with saying, I'm generally not impressed with products. However, this product is one of those exceptions. Upon receiving the product, it has a pretty good weight to it, weighing almost 52 lbs. When you open the box, you can see the pride in the product by the way they packaged it. Besides all the packaging, it comes in a custom built bag to protect the product from being scratched. This is 16 gauge stainless, not the 18 gauge, so it is a very well built unit. It comes with 2 stainless steel grids for the bottom of sink, and also strainer baskets. A sink I previously purchased did not come with the grids nor baskets. For 1 grid, it set me back $45, and the stainless baskets set me back almost the same amount. This particular sink is the 50/50 divide, so your basins are equal. I've posted pictures of the sound deadening material. It is applied on all 4 sides PLUS the bottom. A previous purchased SS sink had just 2 tiny pads for sound deadening. The inside corners of the basins are rounded! This is great so no "gunk" collects in the corners, something not many people think about until after the fact. The basins are grooved towards the drain to get the best drainage from the basin. Over-all, I think this product for price point would be hard to match, let alone beat.

This is a 31 1/2 inch by 17 inch by 10 inch deep. This sturdy sink comes virtually complete. Has both baskets for drainage, scratch resistant wire baskets and even a chamois. Please note that this a comes with under mount hardware and is ideal for such an installation. Although all I don't think top money it would be be that much more difficult. Ours will be on tour mounted with the travertine finish. The size and depth of this sank give me a lot of freedom in how use it. And I have to set a it's a heavily constructed sink. Installation instructions are very easy to fallow. The drain openings are standard 3 1/2 inch reduced to 1 1/2 inch all stainless steel construction. This is truly one of the most excellent sinks I've seen built what a great purchase!!

This heavy gauge stainless steel with extra sound deadening coated bowls stands alone! This is is heavy duty stainless which comes with a lifetime warrantee. Drain is included. All that is needed is the p trap. Also has a full sink strainer to allow all the water to drain when cleaning vegetables or rinsing dishes.

This is the second Kraus sink we installed. We have a 60/40 split sink in the main kitchen, and this single bowl sink in our mother-in-law kitchen. As we prepare and can all our garden vegetables in this kitchen, we wanted the biggest sink out kitchen would accommodate. The sink arrived with all the hardware needed for installation, including a drain assembly. The sink is supplied with a wire rack that goes in the base of the bowl. This sink is very heavy duty, and has a sound deadening coating and rubber dampers. This is a very large, and deep, sink.

Kitchen is the most attractive place of the house, and Kraus has made a great center piece with this new very heavy duty 16-gauge premium grade T-304 stainless steel construction with an 18/10 chromium/nickel composition. It is indeed very elegant. The new technology of Padded and stone guard undercoated insulation over a rubber pad reduces noise while sink and the In Sink Erator is in use. It was very easy to install. The Mounting and installation brackets, cutout template were included. As a bonus, a Stainless steel basket strainer and Dish towel were included. Overall, a very nice product.

No really, it is huge! I think that is mostly a good thing, but I certainly didn't realize just how big it was before purchasing. If your house is old you may need to lower your drain to accommodate the depth of the sink. You can calculate the height of your drain by taking the cabinet height and subtracting 20" (assuming you will be using a garbage disposal). In regards to other reviewers complaints of the sink draining slowly or being noisy. It does drain a little slow but is similar to prior stainless steel sinks I have used. In a very non-scientific test of putting a glass of water in the sink, the angle seems fairly steep. You need a sprayer to clean it effectively as the sink is huge. Otherwise the sink seems pretty well built and the sound insulation is good.
