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

After researching replacement sinks for months to fit an existing granite cutout, I purchased a Kohler sink, which arrived damaged in spite of substantial packaging. The damage was likely due to the flimsy construction (18 gauge stainless steel). I returned the Kohler sink and purchased the Ruvati RVH8000 and am extremely happy with all aspects of this quality product. I was concerned with the Chinese origin of this product, but was surprised and very pleased with the Ruvati. It is comparable with high-end European sinks. Here are some key attributes which I hope potential purchasers find useful; - Packaging--box within a box with honey comb cardboard, styrofoam and edge protectors, pretty much impervious to shipping damage. - Construction--16 gauge commercial type stainless steel with welded seams, integrated drainage guides - Finish--Brushed satin - Mounting technique--Drop in with perimeter clamps underneath, plumbers putty interior seal, silicone exterior perimeter seal - Ease of installation--Moderate for experienced DIYer This sink replaced a rusting cast iron/porcelin unit and is a big upgrade--matches our SS apliances perfectly. The hardest part of my specific installation was enlarging the existing granite cutout to accomodate this large sink. I also upgraded our disposer to the Waste King L8000 at the same time, which will be reviewed separately.

It’s the best sink value available on the market today! I fully expect the price of this sink to go up very soon. It’s deep 9 3/4”, very convenient to use and built with high quality thick 16-gauge material. It also has excellent countertop clamps, but they’re a bit challenging to install. The drain accessory for most folks may be unnecessary since most of these sinks will be installed with a disposer unit. Would be nice if the company sells them as an accessory to reduce the overall unit cost. The added mesh accessory is nice and useful. This sink easily beats the likes of Kohler, other expensive name brands. Overall a great purchase and fast delivery by Amazon!

Usually I dont write reviews because I buy too many things and dont really have time to write reviews for everything, but for this kitchen sink was necessary to find time. I was a little scare to order the sink online thinking about how careless sometimes UPS delivery guys are and I didnt want to deal with having to return it. When I saw the delivery guy getting the box out of the truck I was suffering because the box didnt look in very good shape and the delivery guy was having no mercy lol, but once I open the first box I was really impressed of how WELL packed it was, even falling from a fifth floor would of have been in perfect condition. The sink is way better than what I was expecting, super good quality and very elegant and also easy to install. I am very happy with this Ruvati purchase, quality, elegance and a fair price all in one. If you are looking for a kitchen sink buy Ruvati and you will be as happy as I am. I 100% recommend this sink and I will give 20 starts if possible.

My first clue was the packaging. Double boxed with lots of molded foam all around each box. Second was the silky nylon draw-string bag the actual sink was in (to avoid scratches, I presume). The sink itself is heavy duty stainless steel with sound deadening pads on all sides and bottom. Beautiful fit and finish. Love the (almost) flat bottom - big items dont teeter around. Itll hold an entire half of my BBQ grill grate for soaking and have room left over for the tools! We dont have the drainage problems that others have mentioned - its almost flat on the bottom but we mounted the counter top with a slight slope to the rear and only occasionally have to push a little water to the drain with a sponge. The large strainer drain is a bonus as is the stainless steel rack - which keeps large heavy items from dinging the sink AND functions as an ideal drying rack! The only negative is the counter top clamping system. No instructions were included as to how to install them and once we figured it out, upon tightening, they tilted until the heads of the tightening screws were jammed against the sink sides and we couldnt get a wrench on them. Ended up with some wooden shims to keep them vertical. Its a large sink - space around it under the cabinet is limited - and I would recommend installing it in the countertop first before dropping the top on the cabinets. You really only need 4 to 6 or so of the clamps (it has 12) - we set our sink in a big wad of Plumbers Putty and its not moved With the above caveats, I would recommend to anyone!

Beautiful sink...where my installer ran into problems though was with the mounting brackets. As you can see in the picture, theres no room on my counter in the front and back. The sink just dropped into the existing hole. And because the hook part of the mounting bracket is so small, it kept popping off while he tried to tighten the clamp and he had no room for his hands to get in the space to try and hold it together while tightening. He just said bad design as the previous sinks mounting hardware didnt have this issue. So its in place with the weight of the disposal and silicone under and around the edges.

this sink is AMAZING!!! I replaced a same size double cast iron sink and had to cut the corners of my countertop as this sink is zero radius, but it installed with no problems and I LOVE IT! we were unable to secure the stays that keep the sink from being able to be pushed back out because there was only an inch of room or so and we couldnt squeeze our arms up to do that but I dont think it will be an issue. The weight will hold it down and I used silicone around the sink to prevent water from seeping under. I could practically bathe in here!! It is HUGE!! The included metal grate allows pots and pans and knives to not scratch the bottom of the sink and the sink is even big enough for me to have an over sink drain (shown in picture) and still be large enough to wash everything.

Beautiful Sink, it arrived exactly as described and fit perfectly in my counter. Packaging was really good, protected the sink from any possible damage and product is very high quality and look great in my kitchen. I had to cut out a oversized corian sink that had cracked and this was the perfect replacement. It is quite large and exactly what the wife wanted. The steel is thicker than most sinks and quieter. I have had it in for a couple months and it is holding up well. The sink gets used heavily and comes with a terrific drain with a deep strainer that holds all the scraps. I would highly recommend this sink, just make sure you measure as it is quite large and exact to the measurements listed.

Really nice sink but large! I bought it for an art studio because of its size so it’s perfect for my needs. I think it would be too deep for a kitchen sink. Perfect for laundry room or other needs.

I was very delighted to have found a single bowl sink with precut 4 holes. Good quality steel. Its a good heavy weight 40pounder for me to lift up into sink frame. It arrived in tripple packaged box. I was surprised how well it was packaged, and I appreciate that. This is my first DIY project in the kitchen, and I think I should have hired a professional. But regardless, I managed to cut out the tiles to make room. The card board model 33x22 included in it was bit misleading. After I removed the old two bowls sink, the card board model fit in the frame perfectly. I thought that is the size of the sink; however, the new sink would not slide down. I had to cut out two inches of left and right and half inch off back and front of my tile counter. and cut some wood frames all around. I had to buy all the tools ... and it was a great learning experience. Now that I got my beautiful sink in, the problem is I cannot place the new Grainger Badger 1 (11-1/2 length from mount) in. The sink is deeper than the two bowls, of course, didnt think about that. After two weeks of struggle, tonight I decided that it is going to be a sink without a garbage disposer. ( Garbage disposer also had a defect around the mount and would not lock --Not purchased from Amazon--so that doesnt help either.) So, I got Ruvatis sink flange in, and I am ready to connect some PVC pipes, and I hope to use the sink by this Saturday. Crossing my fingers! I wished they make the Sink hole toward the front. Then, it wouldnt butt head with the drain pipes, etc. and I would have been able to install the garbage disposer unit.

I was a bit skeptical to purchase a sink online. I buy many things online but its mainly clothes, shoes etc. things that are really easy to return or carry to the store. The thought of not liking the sink crossed my mind before I ordered it and having to Re-package and ship it out made me really doubt if it was a good idea to buy it online. But I started reading the reviews and most of them were skeptics like me. They all said they were extremely happy that they took a chance on this sink because it was beautiful, high quality and an amazing value. I figured thousands of people couldnt be wrong. So I took a chance myself! Im so happy and delighted that I took a chance because this sink is really gorgeous. As soon as I tried to take it out of the box I knew I was going to need help because its heavy and that shows a lot of quality. My 2 sided sink was only 8 inches deep and now with no division and 10 inches deep it makes a world of a difference. The quality and design are superb and the sleek lines and thin edges make every corner count. I pile my dishes all day long including my blender, pans, pots and this sink holds it all. I definetly can say I love washing my dishes in this sink and everyone that comes over to my house wants to use it because they like it so much. This sink definitely gave me more than just space it revamped my whole kitchen setting. My kitchen looks updated and fresh! If youre hesitating like I was please take a chance you wont regret it!
