Kore 28-Inch Drop In/Top Mount Workstation 16 Gauge Single Bowl Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink with Accessories, KWT310-28

Very happy with this sink so far. Had it for a few weeks now. It looks amazing and feels very robust. I found the mounting clips to not be the greatest but they did the job. The sink itself is so thick and heavy that it weighs itself down quite well. One other thing to keep in mind, I installed this on a laminate countertop. Due to the weight of the sink, the sides in the centre of the sink don’t sit perfectly flush to the countertop. I don’t think I can fault Kraus for this issue, it’s just crappy, weak, bowing laminate. I was able to remedy this gap with a bit of extra silicone caulk. Don’t let any of the negative reviews deter you from buying this sink. My friend is a plumber and he said that usually the less expensive no name brand sinks have quality control issues and don’t fit properly or come out of the box already damaged.

Very thick stainless steel. Nice finish. Great accessories

We bought this for a kitchen renovation in our home and chose it based on the great reviews. It was very easy to install. It is a heavier gauge stainless steel and it is definitely more quiet when running the garbage disposal than our old sink was. It comes with a cutting board that inserts into the sink top grooves (we don't use that much) and a dish rack that also sits on top of the sink, which I love and use all the time. It is sturdy and rolls up and out of the way, making it very convenient and useful. My complaint is that it came with a grid insert, which I have used since the sink was installed. It has 6 small rubber feet to keep it elevated off the bottom of the sink. This is very difficult to clean and it catches food constantly. It also has scratched the sink in every spot where the feet are. I have tried to scrub the marks, hoping they would go away, but they appear to be permanent. Also, even with the metal grate, somehow, there is a scratch in the sink, as though a utensil was scraped across it. I am really disappointed in the markings on the sink. I think there must be some other material that could be used for these rubber feet that would be softer and would not leave marks. I grew up with a stainless steel sink in the kitchen and don't remember it being so sensitive. I want to discontinue using the grid, but my fear is that the "stainless", is not really, and that if a cast iron pan was left in the sink, that it would leave a mark. Be aware that this sink has corners, not rounded corners, but straight corners, and food tends to accumulate there. It is not easy to keep clean. I would not buy this again, and if given the opportunity, I would switch it out. That's not going to happen because we had it installed under the granite counter top, so I will be living with it.

Exactly what I wanted

The bottom of the sink has discoloured where the rack pads are on the bottom of the rack. The corners are so square it is hard to get dirty out of the corners of the sink. The dry rack is great. Water is slow to drain out of the sink, as it is very flat. I like it, but there are some improvements that are needed. The quality of the sink is good, the covers for the drain is not, they are cheap.
