The flange of the sink wasn't properly flat which made it hard to fit in our subtop.

I am thrilled with my beautiful new Kraus sink. Italian is great for large items like my cookie sheets and large cooking pots. I ordered the sink and Home Depot delivered it to my door the very next day. Thanks Home Depot! You did great!!

Not happy that water will sit on the bottom and not drain out. The illusion of the drain being at lowest point is just that "an illusion. You can't test these out before you buy, I should have checked reviews. Now stuck with this, picture is from overnight.

Hello John,

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your comments around this model’s extra deep modern designed basin, a feature for one person can sometimes be a hindrance to another.
All of our sinks are engineered and designed with a slope along the base to help guide water toward the drain. A relatively flat sink bottom increases usable bowl space and allows dishes and glasses to be safely stacked.
Please contact our customer service team at 1-800-775-0703 or customerservice@kraususa.com and we would be happy to review your concerns directly. Kraus

Garbage and Rusty - Don’t buy this sink
I remodeled my kitchen and The very same day I installed the sink it started have rusty spots all over the bottom. They are really hard to clean and they show every time I use water. I can’t image what this sink will look like in a few months. I’ll have to go through all the trouble to replace it now. Don’t waste your time and money with this product.

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. Kraus

      Very dissatisfied
      Sink was installed two months ago and has terrible water spots and other unattractive marks that polish / cleaners will not remove.

      Hi Kathy, Thanks so much for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing these stains on your new sink. The stains/spots you are noticing are not part of the stainless steel; they are deposits on the surface of the sink and can be removed with cleaners containing oxalic acid. Unless pure distilled water flows from your faucet, there will be dissolved minerals and salts in your rinse water. 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.
        The sink came right away, faster than expected and in perfect condition. My installers got it in correctly right away too! Thank you!

          Stratches and rust
          We bought a similar version of this sink in July of this past year, 2023 for our kitchen remodel. In 30 years I have owned house and all types sinks this has to be the worst! It has scratches all over it, rust and grates are rusted. We live in our home, our sink is not a display but used to wash dishes for a family of five. It is beautiful to look at if you don’t use it. We did everything according to instructions. I have had stainless in other homes and this product is poorly made!

              No complaints here. Countertop folks didnt have any issues installing it. The drain catch was too deep for my plumbing so they had to install a standard one.

                Awful
                Before buying this sink I read all of the reviews. I decided to trust all the positive ones since I thought the negative ones were just people who were hard to please! Boy was I wrong! This sink is poor quality! I had other sink in my old house that I bought from my granite company that was so much better. This sink Even after cleaning it with the right products and buffing it with dry towels you still see the water marks. And the scratches was me using a scotch sponge to clean it. Seriously?

                Thank you so much for reaching out, I am sorry to hear you are not pleased with your new kitchen sink, but I think I can alleviate some of your concerns.

                The stains/spots you are noticing are not part of the stainless steel; they are deposits on the surface of the sink and can be removed with cleaners containing oxalic acid. Unless pure distilled water flows from your faucet, there will be dissolved minerals and salts in your rinse water. With proper cleaning and care you can remove what you are seeing.

                Also, 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 of your sink with proper cleaning. Most minor scratches can be softened with a fine (white) 3M Scotch Brite pad, or 3M Scotch Brite Natural Fiber Non-Scratch Scour Pad, accompanied by a deep cleansing agent such as Bar Keepers Friend.

                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.

                  Kraus 60/40 16guage SS double bowl
                  Simply beautiful. No negatives so far. Installed now for 2 weeks and used daily in a busy household. No scratches but time will tell. Returned the low divide design as I could see some potential for rust around the divide area from welding imperfections. Went with the full divide and so glad I did.

                  Poor Quality Sink
                  Just had a kitchen remodel completed. Thought Kraus sinks were quality products. Sink scratches easily and is of poor quality. Save your money and I recommend not to but this product.

                    Looks great and works great!
                    We are very happy with this single bowl sink. We used to have a double bowl sink but we like this single bowl much better because it provides a lot of space to wash dishes. As some people mentioned in their reviews, we noticed red spots in the beginning and were worried if they were rust marks, but after cleaning it with a stainless steel polish, we were able to clean them off. We highly recommend this item.

                      Nice quality but a little disappointed
                      This sink is very good quality. Our only concern is for some reason the water tends to pool near the drain but doesn't flow in. I would think all water would go down the drain like most sinks do.

                        One year Sink Review
                        We purchased this sink while remodeling our kitchen a year ago. The sink has performed very well and still looks new. We did add the bottom grids which help eliminate minor abrasions from pots, pans, and metal utensils etc. The do wipe the sides of the sink with a paper towel to eliminate water spots. Great product that we highly recommend.

                          Disappointed
                          I wanted to love this sink but within the first days of use there are already scratches everywhere & the water doesn’t drain well. It just sits there. The design seems flawed. Too bad because it’s a beautiful sink but i would not buy it again or recommend it. It’s been installed so I can’t return now:(

                            Handle broken after a year
                            I was happy at first because of the value for money, but the handle came off and its quite impossible to to even glue it back. The join design is poor, it was always supposed to come off. I feel lucky it lasted a year with this design!!!!

                                Bad Faucet
                                Would have given more stars but the faucet is bad after only 1.5yr. The finish is wearing off and the switch to flip from a stream to a rain head does not stick any more. It gets stuck in between sometimes and leaves a terrible squeaking noise.

                                  Poor quality
                                  I am disappointed in this sink. It is not scratch resistant. We have had it less than a few months and there are already large scratches. I bought it because all the reviews said if you use bar keepers friend it removes the tiny scratches but even that’s not true. My old sink was better than this and looked better than this and it was probably 50 years old. Obviously they know you won’t want to change your sink after it’s been installed so they don’t really care about their product.

                                      This sink is beautiful! It is deep, sleek and modern. But due to the mostly flat bottom, it doesn’t drain great, unlike my old “bowl” shaped sink. Water and food are left sitting. I simply grab my faucet and rinse it off after each use.
