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

I like the sink but there is about 1/2 of an inch of lip that sets on the countertop. There is no room for error when cutting it, and Lowes even with the model number will cut it the wrong dimensions. If you have solid counters, it might not be a big issue but if you have cheap laminate ones it will be as this sink is heavy. I got the biggest dowels I could find 1 1/2 inches cut them and cut holes out in the bottom of my cabinet and put one on each side of the sink so the floor could hold the weight if it had a lot of water in it.

Nice sink. Very durable and heavy gauge. Easy to install.

I installed the 25 X 22 size in our laundry room as a replacement to a stained composite laundry tub. It arrived very well packaged and in good condition. Its quite heavy duty and looks good also (pics attached). I struggled with the clips a bit and had to bend them outward to get them to grip the underside of my counter. (Since I was replacing an existing sink, I didnt use the template and the existing hole may have been slightly too large.) Once installed, the sink looks great! I really like the draining rack that is included. It should help keep the bottom from becoming scratched. I installed it with the Kohler K-R562-SD-VS Pull-down Kitchen Sink Faucet (which is available here or at Costco). Its much easier if you install the faucet on the sink before you drop the sink in the counter.

Just installed this sink. Looks fantastic. Real high quality material. No loud water sound. I did have a professional install it so I cant speak to that part of it. I cant believe how much I like this sink. It looks waaaay bigger than my double basin sink but its the same size. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the slant at the bottom. The other reviews are right. The cut of the bottom is not angled enough for food particles to flow easily to the drain. Rice, pasta, etc needs a removable spray nozzle to push the food to the drain. Like watering down your driveway of debri. Other than that, I love my new sink.

When I received the sink it was heavier than I had expected. The packaging was very elegant for a sink. made me feel fancy (lol). The look and feel of this sink scream quality. My only problem is that I hadnt looked at the measurements of the outside dimensions close enough. I got it into the pre-cut hole in my counter top and sadly it didnt fit. it was a 33in sink but the rim wasnt big enough. This was very frustrating as i had just sent back two kohler sinks that had arrived with broken under mount tracks. But it was all my fault. Luckily they gave me a refund. And then I had to go buy a crappy american standard one from lowes which is inferior quality. Next sink I buy will definitely be a ruvati! they make a great quality product! I had done a ton of research before buying this one due to my bad experience with the kohler. This is definitely the best quality of this style of sink for your money.

33x22x10 Note this is a very deep basin at 10 inches so some people may notice that lowers the drain by about an inch possibly more. this can possibly cause an issue. My old sink was probably 8 or 9 inches deep only and putting this sink has caused some issues because it doesnt drain as fast now and theres nothing i can do without lowering the drain. That wouldnt be that hard though really probably about 20 buck worth of materials but have to cut out the drywall though. But Ive been able to get by without doing that because i use rubber gaskets on all the drain fittings instead of plastic. Also its more prone to clog i was using lye but i finally ran a 50ft snake and cleaned out the entire line all the way to the main. Point being just watch for that. if i have drain problems again after cleaning the drain then ill just repipe the drain its not hard im just lazy to do it. All said this sink is absolutely fabulous. its like a real commercial sink. I have used the HECK out of it for almost 7 years. I always use the grate so not to scratch the bottom of the sink. It looks brand new but just a little bit of scratches. could probably get another 40 years out of it. main thing dont scratch it use stainless cleaner, hot water, good gloves, and clean it with a microfiber towel never ever use a scratcher.

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 Ruvati sink is the bomb!! I had a 1959 cast iron sink for almost 25 years ... imagine the difference this gorgeous sink made! I paired it with a restaurant quality faucet (large and functional) and Im on my way to a chefs kitchen =) It goes well with my Subzero stainless fridge and my wonderful Miele stainless dishwasher. The quality of this Ruvati sink surprised me at first ... the 16 gauge steel is very sturdy. The handyman that installed it for me (20 minute install) was so impressed with the quality that he asked me for the information to purchase one for himself. He didnt believe me when I told him how much it cost (he thought it would have been 3 times what I paid). Ive been using my Ruvati for the past few months and I have no complaints. The included rack for the bottom is attractive and sturdy (just like the sink). The sink is easy to keep clean and shows little to no water drop stains (low to no maintenance!) I would recommend this sink to any and everyone ... it is perfection!

While the sink is OK. I have to take issue with the marketing plan. Specifically the decision to put the cutout dimensions in a DWG file. I was unable to open this file even by using Autodesks on-line software. Why am I making an issue of this? Because I, like most of us, do not want to have to cut counter tops if it can be avoided. So one of my important criterion was a sink with a compatible cut out dimension. I have a more or less standard cutout. Without being able to open the DWG drawing I relied on the sink dimensions that are viewable and estimated the cutout required. DONT DO THAT. I believe the reason Ruvati makes it difficult to see the required cutout is because due to the design of the sink, the cut out is a lot larger that one would guess from looking at the published sink dimensions. Remember the cutout dimension drawing is simply a rectangle. So why does Ruvati make it so difficult to see it by using a non standard file format? And why doesnt Ruvati simply state the required cutout in the published detail? I believe its because many would realize that they will have to make a new cutout IF they have the room to do it. Ruvati will no doubt claim that they provided the info in the special (rectangle) DWG drawing. But IMO its a fig leaf. Dont buy unless you verify the cutout dimension first.

This sink is a beauty. Its large which fits cookie sheets, pots and pans. You can easily put a washing bin on one side and still be able to rinse dishes. Similar to the other reviewers it can be a bear to clean. Simply using the sprayer to rinse food bits down doesnt always work and I noticed some build up in the corners. If youre a neat freak this may not be the sink for you. We really like it and just need to double check after rinsing dishes that all the debris is in the strainer.
