KRAUS Kore 30-Inch Drop in/Top Mount Workstation 16 Gauge Single Bowl Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink with Accessories, KWT310-30

Perfect sink for the island in my new home!

We are very happy with the look and function of this sink. The large size is great for soaking roasting pans, etc. I like the stainless steel bottom grid that keeps pots and dishes up from the bottom of the sink and helps prevent scratching. Filling a pot while it sits up on the grid and not in a wet sink means it doesn't drip on the way to the burner. I didn't think I would use the dish drying rack much but I now have it out and use it every day - draining freshly washed fruits and vegetables, rinsing small items - have even used it as a sort of colander spraying right over it. It can be used to hold a hot pan direct from stovetop too. Our contractor suggested undermounting and I'm glad we went with that - clean look. Things to think about: This is picky but you have to lift out the bottom grid regularly to really clean the bottom of the sink so you need the space to set it aside. It's not heavy but can seem awkward. With the drain at one end of the sink a spray hose that has a good extension helps to swish out the bottom and corners.

I purchased this sink to install as an above mount on granite however in the end the granite installer and myself decided to do an undermount install. The sink is listed as a dual mount, however, I would strongly recommend purchasing a strictly undermount sink if that is what you want and not the dual mount because the edge around this sink is quit large. The sink- it is beautiful! It is one of the first things visitors to my home are drawn too. I love the drain rack. It comes with a grid rack to protect the bottom which is great however this rack requires regular cleaning. I usually pull it out and use a bristle brush over it to clean. The cutting board (and dish drain rack) fit on an integrated ledge which is clever. Honestly I have not used the cutting board on the ledge very much, not like I thought I would. Other reviews have stated that food bits are hard to drain out or that it is slower to drain. It drains fine but it is a larger sink so food particles gravitate to the none drain end and I have to pull out the faucet and give it a good spray on that end to get the particles to move down to the drain end. This is the 30 inch sink. Lots of room. If I had a do over I would consider the 27 inch. Without the standard double bowl sink with the divider it is a lot of room. I use barkeepers friend to clean twice a week. I have had the sink now for 6 months and have no issues. Overall I really love this sink.

Love the sink. Kraus is a very good company that makes great product. Thought the price was a little high but love all the extras that came with it. Farm house sinks are very spacious to handle bigger cleaning which I love. Looks amazing and was easy to have installed. Only think I don’t like is I have found that it has rusted some in the bottom of sink. But love it the sink over all great choice

Bought this sink for my kitchen renovation. Love the look so I pulled the trigger. It's very well constructed, feels very solid. The finish of the sink just speaks quality. It comes with everything you need for the installation. I also love the accessories included with the purchase. The faucet I got is also by Kraus.
