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

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.

I was planning on replacing my kitchen counter tops and updating my sink and faucet. I was looking for an over mount sink about the same size for easy installation. I searched the big box stores and was discouraged because the sinks looked the same. I was hesitant to buy a sink on line without actually seeing it, but was encouraged by other customer’s reviews for this model. The sink seems so much larger than my old model, probably because it’s deeper. My contractor installed the sink with ease and felt it was a high quality sink. The bonus was a bottom rack to protect from scratches. I have experienced the same issue as others, that the food tends to stick to the bottom of the sink rather than going directly down the drain. I am hoping with practice, I can navigate my new faucet sprayer for easy clean up. If not, it’s easy enough to remove the rack for cleaning, The basket strainer was high quality and would have used it but couldn’t due to the garbage disposal installation. I especially like the shape and simple lines of this model. If I was to need another sink, I would definitely look at Ruvati.

We needed a drop-in sink for our new kitchen. I chose not to go with the plumbers choice, as it was a 20 gauge and not the size I wanted. This sink is beautiful! Large single bowl, and heavy duty 16 gauge, with a modern edge. Can a sink be sexy??? yes it can! I wanted a single bowl large enough to have a dish pan and my drying rack (I hate having the drying rack on the counter) and if i have large pans that need a soak i wanted the room. My plumber, and all the construction crew were very impressed. Wanted to know where did I find such a cool sink Ive received many compliments from friends and family. I would definitely recommend this sink.

We love this sink. Like many other reviewers, we wanted the heavier 16 gauge steel and the extra deep basin. The dimensions were bigger in every direction than our old sink, but it still fit in our existing cabinet. It gives the illusion that the kitchen is actually bigger just because it fills in every available inch of the cabinetry. The sight lines even make the kitchen look more tidy since dirty dishes arent as visible while theyre waiting to be washed. Weve never had a sink with a rinse grid, but we absolutely love it for hand washing. It may flex under the weight of a stock pot filled with water, but its great for keeping food particles off dishes as you wash. Weve had no problems with draining or pooling as a result of the contours on the bottom, but we do need a sprayer to get into the corners. We decided to remove our old garbage disposal so we could fit this sink and we dont regret it at all. The strainer cup is very deep (2) and sturdy and we have no trouble emptying it as needed. We were warned that the sharp zero radius corners would be harder to clean so we were prepared to be a lit more careful and thorough. After a few months, it was sad to see the first of the inevitable scratches. It would have been nice to keep pristine forever, but thats unrealistic. It should bring us years of service.

Fits and looks great. Really a nice sink.

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.

4.5 stars - almost perfect with some general issues. Pros - This is a beautiful sink that really upgraded the look and feel of the kitchen sink. It is deep and can fill up a lot of pots and dishes with no problem. The dimensions fits perfectly and replaced our existing sink (dimensions were pretty much spot on). Theres a general slant that allows food material to flow easier to the middle. I never had a grill in any sinks I used before before but I really liked how the food flow under the grill without attaching to the bottom of pots and pans.It also protects the sink bottom from general scratches. The sink itself is pretty heavy weight and does not have any of the typical hollow sound that accompanied some of the cheaper stainless sinks. Cons - Because it is fairly deep, it does cut into the below sink cabinet space. The sink requires pretty frequent cleaning to minimize mold and grime that tend to stick to the corners. The grill also need periodic cleaning as grime tend to stick to the corners. The sink also attracts water spots and does requires a lot more wiping to maintain a clean look. Shipping and packaging was perfect. It arrived on time and was perfectly packaged. No complaints whatsoever. Overall - A friend commented that if she ever had her own place, shed want a sink just like ours. Im pretty happy with this sink - minus the extra cleaning required... it exceeded my original expectations. If youre ok with doing general wipe downs daily and want a stainless steel sink, this is the sink to get.

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.

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.

I moved into a condo with a small kitchen in 2017 and remodeled the kitchen. I took a chance and purchased this sink, of course, without seeing it. My contractor installed it, but he didnt complain, so I guess it went okay. The reason for this review is for you to see what it looks like after 5 years of use. Just like a new car, I cleaned it often and now I clean it when it starts to look a little grungy. Today, I did a thorough cleaning and it still looks good, I think. Ive done some dumb stuff to it over the years. While new, I dropped a large glass pumpkin on the edge and banged it up a bit. And then, in an effort to recycle a plastic toilet bowl cleaner bottle, I rinsed out the remaining contents in the sink leaving the permanent stains near the drain on the left side. I love the size, depth, and the single bowl. Its wonderful for everything...cant imagine anyone wanting 2 bowls. I didnt think I would be a fan of the bottom rinse grid, but was surprised how handy it is. You can leave something sitting on the grid in the sink and still rinse the sink. Its also a cushion if something is dropped. Since the pumpkin incident, nothing that has slipped from my hands has broken in the sink. The only con for this sink is getting into the corners to clean. Also, the grid is a bit of a pain, but a brush or Scrub Daddy takes care of that.
