Ruvati 15 x 20 inch Drop-in Topmount Bar Prep Sink 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Single Bowl - RVH8110

This sink has been in for about a month now and Im liking it better and better. I had a two bowl Franke in my old home which I loved but this was a smaller kitchen so opted for a single bowl sink. Things I like: I use half of the sink with the grate to dry stuff so I dont need to use counter space for a drain! The little drain is weird. Its like a little perforated trash can with handle. There is a separate metal cap to use if you want to fill the sink. Initially thought I would hate this setup but its great! So easy to empty and clean. Looks beautiful! Ive always had an undermount sink before but this is a crisp and stylish edge that adds some pizzazz to my kitchen of Fisher Paykel appliances. What I dont like: Water does tend to pool at the bottom as other reviewers noted. So I have to really pay attention to rinsing. Not a deal-breaker but thats why 4 star and not 5.

There is something about the design and the structure of this sink that makes me feel great every time I use it. There are a couple of components that it comes with that makes it amazing. One is a rack that sits above the sink floor so that when you put your clean cups in the sink, they dont get soiled by the sink itself. The other is the drain cup that is so good at catching debris before it gets into the drain. The engineering seems so useful. I had no idea that spending a few extra dollars on a sink would feel so good.

I got this puppy installed yesterday (Sat 3/10/2018) and I have to say it is a beast! I purchased the 33x22 inch model unit and I am very happy I did. This is a great sink but there is some room for improvement. I dont like the way the provided retaining clips angle into the sink as you tighten them down. In my case the sink fit the hole from my previous sink perfectly but very tightly. It mounted completely flush on either side so there was no possibility of side-to-side movement ergo I left out those clips. I managed to anchor 2 clips in front and back of the sink and I think that would do nicely to keep it stable. A bit of advice to those who purchase this sink....dont try to fill it up with water. This is a large volume sink and unless you have granite counter tops or some other very hard surface the weight of water in this fully filled sink would crash through the hole mount and damage the plumbing in the sink cabinet. My kitchen is a lower end model with particle board and laminate counter tops. I dont think mine would be strong enough to support the weight of this sink fully filled with water. It is not really a problem I think because most people would just use it to wash and rinse stuff with the water running and the drain open. I have a dish washer for doing dishes this baby was purchased mostly for my over sized cast iron enameled cookware and my large stainless steel pots. I gave it 4 stars because of the retaining clips issue but dont let that deter you from buying this baby if you really want it. It is a solid design and they send it very well packaged a secured. Its very unlikely to get damaged in transit.

We are DIYers and wanted a sink that was both modern and easy to install. We leaned toward undermounts, but because we have wood countertops and lack of experience, we were afraid of messing up both the cut and eventually the wood itself with water damage. we decided this square, single basin, clean-lined sink was the perfect compromise. It was tightly packaged and arrived without issue. Instructions were clear on how to install, and the cutting guide was especially helpful. Some things to be aware of: there is about a quarter inch raised edge around the sink, so it’s not flush with the counter. Not a problem for us, but could be for others. Cleaning the 90 degree corners is a new routine that I’m willing to adjust to since I love the square shape, but it could be annoying. The sink came with a removable protective grate that sits in the bottom, keeping dishes from scratching but also catches food particles and needs regular scrubbing. We love it and wouldn’t trade it for our old one!

Our old enameled cast-iron two bowl undermount sink was falling and it wasnt worth remounting it -- 130 lbs, easy to stain, hard to clean, two bowls were both too small to wash a large pan. Our handyman recommended a single bowl stainless and based on some reviews on line we found this Ruvati, made in the USA. He installed it easily (taking out the old one was the bulk of the work) since its an overmount. Its easier to clean, mostly spraying down and a good run with a brush. The rack in the model is good to hold dishes so water drains below them, and they stay flat instead of tilted to the sink (which grades to the drain). The best part is the large, single bowl -- I can wash roasting pans and large fry pans in there without any problems now! Wonderful! In this day and age of dishwashers being more water-efficient, a two bowl sink no longer makes sense. This is the way to go for a modern sink! It also matches our stainless steel appliances.

I was concerned that I would not like this sink because of my prior experiences with stainless sinks: typically noisy, hard to keep clean and not very big. I gave up a triple bowl porcelain sink with my kitchen remodel and I loved the versatility. THIS sink changed all that for me. I love it. Its big, deep and the lines and angles look great in my kitchen. As others have stated, it arrives beautifully packaged - Im using the box it came in to store quilts! Large trays fit well, theres plenty of room to fill big pots, drain big pots and room for a dish drainer and dishpan if you want to hand wash. Why four stars? As others pointed out, the angle is a bit flat to rinse crumbs and food bits into the drain; it ends up using more water than Id like to get everything into the drain. Also, the included drain cover doesnt work with a disposal; Ruvati needs to address that. Its quiet, too, partly because of the included rack, which I love. This sink was a marvelous find for the price, I hope I continue to love it for years to come.

We had looked at a LOT of sinks over the past several months but are so happy we selected the Ruvati--the quality of the 16 gauge stainless can immediately be felt and seen. From the cavernous basin to the finely fitted drain cup this sink screams quality as was immediately noticed by dinner guests who no doubt remember the previous ceramic one. Unlike many we looked at it, the Ruvati included the grate and drain--not to mention free shipping. We also looked in the big box stores and mega hardware stores but found only 20 gauge or 18 gauge offerings at best and they paled in comparison. OK, enough of the accolades--great sink, buy it, youll not regret it. The company is so proud of their product it came securely stowed in layers of rigid cardboard, then wrapped in a nylon bag to preclude any abrasions. Heck, it even came with what looked like a giant diploma (certificate of authenticity I believe). While I confess that some of the reviews claiming food sometimes doesnt make it to the drain without some coaxing--that simply comes with the territory with a vessel of these dimensions! Hope this helps!

We ordered this particular Ruvati single bowl sink after looking through quite a few options all over the internet and in stores. This one appeared very stylish and well-made. The price was very reasonable too. And it was exactly what we wanted. The sink looks even better in real life. High quality stainless steel combined with contemporary style make it a perfect fit for our kitchen. We have been using it for a couple of months now and I should say that it is also very easy to maintain. It didnt lose color and didnt get any stains or scratches. Love it!!! Also, I should mention that it arrived very fast and in a very nice solid box to prevent any damage during shipping. I absolutely recommend it to everybody. Great product!

The qualtiy of the sink is excelent. Solid. Pretty heavy. Seems it wasnt perfectly flat... off by about 1-2mm. Not entirely sure if that was the sync or my countertop, but suspect it was the sink, and once plumbers putty / mounting screwed down, not noticeable. The mountng brackets / positioning of mounting points ... not so much, but I was able to get it mounted as desired. Sink seems big enough at first, but smaller after you start using it, so you may want to round up. Plenty deep.

This Ruvati sink looks great, but it already (after less than two weeks) has developed a rust spot. I want to replace it ( who wants a rusted-out stainless steel sink??); but you need to send me the replacement first so I will not be without a sink while I am waiting for the replacement. Please write, or call to tell me how to get this done. Thank you, Steve Moffat Dec 26-UPDATE: The Ruvati rep get back to me right away; he assured me that the sink itself had not and could not rust, and that it would clean up with some light scouring.He recommended Barkeepers Friend, which I got , and used; and, indeed, th erust spot is gone, easily. It was not part of the sink, which again looks great. Other than a slight issue with drainage, this sink is perfect.
