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

This is a first class 16 gauge stainless sink. Since is 10 deep it cannot be drawn so it is welded. Perfection is what I would call it. Deep strainer basket. A stopper that actually works. If I were the manufacturer I would have put additional clamps on each side (close) to the single hole. A sink this size will have a large (tall) faucet and therefore someone will pull on the tall neck. The stainless will flex. Is this a problem? NO. However people tend to be abusive. Do I think this could cause a problem in years to come? I doubt it as it have to be deliberate to work 16 gauge enough to either crack or bend. Just my thought on what is a perfectly fine sink and well worth the money. And the 10 depth allows to was the dishes and not have to change a soaking wet shirt! 5 STARS EASILY!

Never thought I would find a 16-guage stainless steel sink online. Finding an 18-guage in the size we needed was hard enough. But this comes with a deep strainer and very sturdy stainless-steel grill to protect the bottom from scratching. Bottom grill fits perfectly. The only problem we had was this sink has very square corners, and our previous sink was more rounded. So an inside corner of a cabinet had to be cut to get one corner in. So make sure you have the room under your countertop for this -- the sides literally drop staight down.

I purchased this sink July 5, 2015 after researching many months for just the right sink to suit our requirements. I wanted to be sure we had put it to the test of time before writing a review, and so we did! I am an organic, fully from scratch cook for a large family. I use every imaginable size of pot and pan, from small to huge cast iron and stainless steel. I have many salad spinners, colanders, mandarin slicers, sets of expensive knives, and dozens of bowls, flatware sets and serving trays, not to mention all of the dishes - oodles of them. The size of this sink accommodates them all as needed around here, sometimes with several in at the same time. This sink comes packaged as finely and elegantly as the sink itself, so the sink is well protected upon arrival. After almost two years of using this sink as a maniac cook who does nothing in a delicate way, I can attest to the fact that this sink can take a lot of beating with not a hint of marring or discoloration to it. After I clean it every night, it looks as good and new as the day we received it. It is a very heavy sink; it took two of us to lift it into the pre-existing countertop hole that accommodated the previous old sink, which was standard size: about one inch deeper than this sink. However, we got creative with the countertop to close that one inch gap left at the back wall. No one will ever be the wiser unless they crawl deep into the sink cabinet with a flashlight, turn upside down on their back and examine the countertop patch at the wall. Our guests are usually not inclined to do so. The stainless steel of this sink is very thick and cleans beautifully. The manufacturing seams are flawless. The bottom is flat, which was one of our requirements, so as to allow more stuff to sit flat. No space is wasted for setting things flat in this sink. It has no curves or pitches. We love that. We hated that our old sinks sides were curved and it was pitched towards the drain, which wasted a lot of the usable space. When we read reviews of this sink while doing our research pre-purchase, we noticed that some had complained about the flat bottom without curves and pitches. They commented that without those curves and pitches, the sink did not drain automatically, nor does all the debris slide down the drain automatically. That seemed like a trite and silly complaint to us. After all, to properly clean a sink and rid it of all debris, one does not just allow whatever is visible on its bottom to slide down the drain. There is much left behind that is not visible to the naked eye, and therefore the sink must be scrubbed out properly with cleaner to be sanitized. So, no matter if the sink has a 45 degree pitch, it still needs to be scrubbed out. I should teach a class on sanitation and hygiene to those complainers. If they are not regularly scrubbing out the sink with sanitizing cleaner, they do not have a clean sink! There is no sound, vibration or movement what-so-ever with this sink. It is totally solid and quiet as can be. The bottom rack is heavy duty and most sturdy. Our large cast iron Dutch Ovens full of liquid do not bend it in any way, even with the pressure of scrubbing them. The rack saves the bottom of the sink from any scratching or marring. Great addition! Even the rack is still in perfect condition after almost two years of heavy duty use and cleaning. This was one of our most excellent purchases of the whole house remodel. Amazons price was a great deal. This sink could last several lifetimes, so we are considering it a family heirloom.

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.

This sink is amazing. Totally changed the look of my kitchen. It is huge! I wanted to go from double sink to single and this did the trick. I did not install the garbage disposal for now, I will try to use the supplied catch tray instead and see how that works. Keep in mind if you do want to use your disposal you will have to use a different drain. I could have used the one from my old sink if I wanted the disposal. The install was fairly simple to do by myself. I had to reroute some of the drain pipes so it took a few trips to the hardware store and about 5 hours to completely remove the old sink and install the new one. Also, you do not need and caulk to install this sink. There is actually just a thin edge that touches the counter so caulk wouldnt even work. You will need some plumbers putty for the drain. Removal of the old caulk was probably the biggest headache. I used the 3 hole with a delta faucet and soap dispenser. It looks and functions great. The 4th hole I used for my air gap. Hope this helps. It looks great! Before and after picture attached.

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.

Item arrived in perfect condition - excellent protective packaging and I was delighted with the quality of the product.

I researched a lot of stainless steel sinks. We removed our old cement utility sink in the basement and my wife wanted a large sink to replace it. There are some oversized stainless steel sinks out there but many of them are ridiculously expensive. This sink does the trick. It is big! It is an overmount which allowed me to use a standard formica countertop. The 16guage stainless is beautiful! The packaging was soo impressive. I ordered it from Amazon and was worried about the shipping with UPS throwing the thing around and having it damaged. It was packaged in a heavy duty box (that we still have because my wife thinks we can use it for something else!!) There was foam around the sink and the sink itself was packed in a velvet-like bag. It was like opening a bottle of Crown Royal!!! Ruvati really took all the extra effort to pack this thing well. It was easy to install - there was a template to use for cutting my formica top and it dropped right in. It is a quiet sink. I love my Ruvati stainless steel sink!

Great sink! Very elegant looking and maximizes all available space. Original sink measured 33 x 22. Was a dual bowl. We wanted a single bowl to maximize space and convenience. Rack that comes with it prevents scratching and is very functional. Washing large bowls, pots and pans is very easy now. Pros: - Maximal space. Thin edges. - Looks great. - Very functional rack. Cons: - Hole covers are a bit flimsy and thin. There are 3 holes. We only got the single lever faucet with hose. 2 holes are unused and covers look a little cheap as the edges are a bit jagged. - Bottom of sink is a bit flat and doesnt drain items well. - Have a garbage disposal installed which makes it necessary for a different drain cover. Despite this, still give it 5 stars. The flatness of the sink also maximizes the space and needing a drain cover is a necessary evil due to the disposal used. Very happy with the purchase.

I have had this sink installed for about 4 months. The sink is beautiful, love the grate, it really helps protect it. Has a really high quality drain, that is easy to clean out. However; when my plumber went to install it, it was missing an essential piece for installation, a washer of some type that would go with this drain. He feared that he would have to use, the basic cheap drain that he had. He was able to pair this drain with, a standard piece and it has not leaked. That was the fear he had. I love my sink, and it is very deep and more than big enough at 25”. It does have some scratches, but I feel this is to be expected with stainless. Like I said, the grate really helps protect it from scratching.
