KRAUS Premier 32-inch Undermount 50/50 Double Bowl 18-Gauge Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink with Strainers (x2), KBU22

I chose this Kraus KBU22 sink after reading all of the reviews posted on Amazon for this and other comparable sinks. I have a 33" kitchen sink base cabinet and I wanted to maximize the size of the sink that I installed. This sink isn't recommended for a 33" base cabinet, but with a little trimming of the wood on the inside of the cabinet, we managed to slip it in... It's a very nice quality, heavy-duty stainless steel. It seems to be easy to clean thus far, and the baskets that came with it for strainers are superior to what I've used before. The stoppers work very well for filling sink with water and the included wire racks are a must...they keep the sink looking nice. The depth is perfect for having your dishes soak in the sink prior to washing... This sink is far superior than anything I could find at local home improvement centers. I used a Delta Valdosta Spotshield Stainless faucet which complemented the sink nicely.

Sink is very thick stainless, comes with really nice heavy-gauge wire grids, and decent drain connection parts. I was afraid of ordering without seeing it and more importantly, hearing it (giving it a "think" on the side to see how well it is insulated). Turns out my fears were unfounded ... this is a darn nice sink, as nice as many costing hundreds more, with a satisfying silent "thud" from my "thunk." In other words, the sink is well-insulated, and is nice and quiet both with running water as well as the disposer. The finish as also very nice, better than many I have seen. The only "complaint" is that it is not made in the U.S., but most of the other sinks in this price range were imported as well (I think only Elkay makes all/most of their sinks in the U.S.).

I purchased this kitchen sink for a kitchen remodel that I did on a rental unit I own in Venice Beach, CA. I recently remodeled the kitchen in the unit I live in and purchased a similar stainless steel kitchen sink through the fabricator who put in the Ceasar Stone counters. When doing the kitchen in the rental unit, I had more experience from having remodeled my own kitchen and felt that the price the original fabricator charged me was too high. I don't recommend purchasing the sink through your fabricator as it is akin to buying food at a movie theater. They feel that they got you so they increase the markup. I live in Southern California so have lots of options on contractors and handy men, especially now given all the unemployed and under employed builders from the housing recession. Anyhow, I wanted to save some money from the original contractor and shopped around. I got this sink for $150-$200 less than what I paid for the other sink which looked identical. While different brands, one would have a hard time telling them apart. The Kraus one came with a strainer on the bottom for pots and pans so as not to scratch the stainless steel and what I feel are nicer sink plugs. The different fabricator I used picked it up and made their cuts in the Ceasar Stone so that it looks perfect. I also purchased Kraus faucets which nicely compliment this sink. A great purchase. When doing a large remodel, every $100 adds up to where you can save $1,000s.

I researched for months to find the perfect sink, the ones at Lowe's, Home Depot and the like places all felt flimsy so I started looking at the metal gauge and found this one (was looking for 18ga) when I happened on to this one of 16ga metal. WOW what a sturdy sink and the sound dampening material is huge not just a 4" x 4" pad it covers all the sides and bottom plus there is a spay on dampener that is over the whole underside of the sink. Not to mention all the extras racks, drains, stoppers and the TOWEL that says KRAUS (Awesome). Nothing bad here it is well worth the price and then some. I would buy this sink again but I believe it will out last my house, it will be in the replacement house when I have to rebuild my new house in 50 to 75 years down the road.

The sink is a quality and versatile product that won't sink your budget. Fairly easy to install and durable, the stainless steel look is timeless and easy to clean. The two separate tubs help make the cleaning process easier to manage. They are deep and wide so you can fit most items in there to help soak the pots and pans and plates. No one likes to do the dishes, but if you have to, roll up your sleeves and use this sink.

Two years ago when we remodeled our kitchen, our designer recommended and we bought a Blanco double bowl sink from a local plumbing supply company. Can't remember the exact price, approximately $600 discounted. When the sink came in, I took it to the granite fabricator so they could cut the hole and undermount it in the countertop. The next day the shop foreman calls to tell me he won't install it, it's too flimsy, he won't guarantee the countertop if I insist on using it. I went to the shop and he showed me what he was concerned about, the 16 gauge SS sink was flimsy, it wobbled and flexed as though it were made of aluminum foil, had no rigidity or sound proofing, and looked cheap compared to the 'free' sinks they give away. The granite, by the way, was not one of the fragile varieties. The plumbing supply company was not helpful in finding a quick replacement, and insisted on a 25% restocking fee to return it. That left me with Amazon as my only hope. The reviews of the Kraus sink were great, the price was a bargain ($249 in 2012) compared to the other, and with the original Prime 3.99 next day fee, I took it to the fabricator the next day. He was happy to install it and said it looked like a great choice. It was a great choice, and along with the Kraus accessory grids we bought, the sink looks as good as the day we got it almost two years ago. Which brings me to why I'm just writing my review - we're remodeling our laundry room and need a single bowl sink, so I looked up my original order so that I could find a Kraus sink with the same specs as our kitchen sink. I noticed that i never reviewed the sink after buying it, and it has been such a great product that came to us in an emergency, that I felt the need to give it 5 stars and my highest recommendation.

As other reviewers have mentioned, the KBU22 32” sink and accessories were beautifully and professionally packaged, but what makes it outstanding is the quality of the sink. It is much nicer than most (if not all) of the more expensive sinks I’ve had in the past (especially those purchased at local/brick & mortar stores). It fits perfectly in my 33” sink base (my contractor said that it was a very easy install--just required a slight notch inside the base cabinet). A sink depth of 9” was a must for me, along with 16 gauge stainless steel--this sink fits the bill perfectly and beautifully. The accessories that accompany the sink are great also--my favorite is the depth of the primary strainer bucket (love it and wish I’d had this long ago). I would not hesitate to buy this sink again and highly recommend it.

I was reluctant to purchase this last year in the middle of a kitchen remodel, but read lots on the brand and decided to try it, but even after all my online reading, I was not sure I made the right decision. I liked all the specs that this sink has. The depth is nice because I don't have to do the dishes right away and you can't see the dishes from the other room when they are piled in the sink. The depth isn't too deep which is the other thing I was not sure about, but it never bothers by back when I need to get things at the bottom of the sink. The reason I'm writing this review is that I could find no reviews on long term use of the sink. After a year I still am happy with this purchase. It cleans up easily. Basically,daily, I rinse it with water. A couple times a week, I wash it with soap and water on my sponge, and once a month or two, I clean it with Sheila shine and dry it up nicely. It still looks as good as the first day we put it in. I like both drain options it comes with, but with a garbage disposal, we had to pick one. I liked them both, so either one would be fine. The sink grates are nice and I think they have helped to not scratch the sink. For those out there not sure what to do, I would not hesitate to buy this brand sink again.

really nice sink. feels solid and doesn't make any tinny sounds. We mounted ours as an undermount. Having never had them I thought the metal grates for the bottoms were a "gimmick". No longer, they make using the sink so much easier when items you put in don't tip and slide towards the drain! Well worth the price over a discount sink. I will note that the basket strainer does not come with a tail piece but be warned, it is a European style so you will likely need an adapter to make one fit properly. Take both strainers with you to the hardware store, and consider getting a "dual sink" drain kit. The basket strainer is great but much deeper than the other, so hooking up your drains may be an issue. We had to put the basket on the right, even though we preferred it on the left, in order to have enough room for a proper fall - and our P-trap is under the floor! Of course the undermount took away 2" of clearance for drains.

Muy buena compra, excelente calidad llego súper rápido y sin ningún problema…

Very beautiful sink looks really good in my kitchen!

Great price for the quality of sink. The installer was amazed when I told him price I paid for a 16 gauge sink. It looks great, drains well, easy to clean and not too deep. Love the racks!

Excelente calidad!!!
