Ruvati 23-inch Undermount Stainless Steel Bar Prep Kitchen Sink 16 Gauge Rounded Corners Single Bowl - RVH7123

We purchased this for a new-construction build, along with the matching bar sink. We had limited options locally, most of which were comparably priced but much poorer design/construction. Ordered this last-minute and had to pick up from UPS to get in time for granite templating, but thankfully it was worth it. Was last minute because we were going to get a divided sink since we often manually wash our dishes (dishwand). Couldn't be more pleased with the decision to go with a single basin instead, a month later we still find ourselves commenting how great it is to have the full depth and width of the sink without fighting for space on one divided side or the other. Pans, etc. are a breeze.We went back and forth between this and Zuhn, etc. other options, including external reviews (check google) etc. Ultimately there seemed to be very little difference and we haven't looked back since ordering.This has great depth, is extremely solid, all the inserts fit very well and overall we were extremely pleased we got this instead of a local option.The only drawback for us was that the sharp angles on the inside corners were too sharp for the granite templaters so we have a more gradual granite angle then the sink itself. This is likely just a restriction/error on the part of our granite supplier not an issue with the sink, but the sharp corners are worth noting.As others have mentioned, the somewhat glossy finish is easy to scratch, but I expected this and haven't found any stainless that doesn't. The bottom insert included with it minimizes this greatly.Otherwise the only issue to note for us was that the basin drain isn't compatible with most (any?) garbage disposals so we wound up not using it and instead using the in-sink-erator drain which is different cosmetically. Something to consider and if this will bother you, it might be worth some planning and research to see if you can find a way to connect the included drain with a disposal.

Perfect fit for my new kitchen! Looks great with my new countertop!

I like everything about this sink. It was purchased to replace a double bowl after my husband repeatedly said he wanted a a big sink. Initially I bought its 32” big sister with all the accessories; the 19” width didn’t fit. The 30x18” is exactly like the larger but without the drain rack, cutting board and colander. I don’t need another cutting board, wasn’t sure I would use the colander and found a similar rack on Amazon for less than $15. The 32”‘requires leaving a 1/4” lip around the edge to use 2 of the accessories. The 30” without accessories allowed the granite to extend over the sink to simply sweep crumbs or water into it.I really like the drain cover, it allows water to drain while covering the drain/garbage disposal, but not allowing small items or flatware to slip in. It’s easily set aside to use the disposal. A black stopper is provided to keep water in the sink.A rack comes with the sink to raise items off the sink bottom. I removed ut to scrub the sink. Cleaning is easy, I use dish detergent and a scrub pad, rinse and done.I priced sinks at the big box stores, finding Ruvati to be comparable priced. Researching the web, it was listed as one of the top two brands. 16 gauge stainless steel is better insulated, so less noise while washing and water should stay hot longer.6-month update: I still love the sink. Early this month I removed the rack/grid so I could scrub the sink more often. Being a single bowl, crumbs and food particulars always seemed to collect and stick to sink and/or the grid. I didn’t feel like the grid was clean even after scrubbing it.

This sink is a great deal. Much better quality than those that can be purchased at the local big box stores. 16 Gauge steel is a necessary upgrade when installing as an undermount to granite or quartz countertops. You are not going to want to replace this sink, and 16 gauge steel is stronger and quieter. I like the contemporary look and the small rounded corners make for easier cleaning. The single bowl is fantastic for soaking pans, leaving plenty of room to work around them as needed. This sink is also super deep, and fully insulated, making it quiet to use. Included features are a good deal as well. The grate is very helpful for protecting the sink from scratches that could otherwise easily occur as people toss dirty silverware into the sink. It also keeps soaking dishes off the bottom and out of the way while rinsing other items down the drain. It does make cleaning a little tricky though since small particles cannot easily be scrubbed to the drain with a brush. I do not recommend that counters be installed so that they go over past the edges of the sink. This makes the opening smaller than the sink itself, and the grate cannot be easily lifted out of the sink for cleaning. Choose flush mount or 1/4 inch reveal mounting instead. Otherwise a great sink. We've been using it since August, 2015 and are very happy with it.

From all the reviews I had expected better from this company. The sink is very nice looking, but was difficult to install in a 30 inch cabinet base. It is very deep and the rounded corners are nice. We haven't abused it, but within a day of installation, there were many scratches and we have even cleaned any pots and pans yet. The other item is the aluminum cat food cans leave a ring on the sink. I have had many stainless sinks over the years and have never had can rings on the sinks. I haven't found anything that removes them yet. Needless to say if I could remove the sink and send it back, I would and I won't be leaving any cans in the sink either.

This Ruvati sink is heavy duty, large and deep, and drains so well. My little Havanese was always terrified when being bathed in our old, square plastic tub, but now she can relax and move around. She even tried to hop back in after having her dirty paws rinsed off yesterday! ( I think she wanted a drink of running water.) I told my husband not to leave messy paint brushes in my beautiful laundry tub! He has a cheap, plastic sink in the garage for jobs like that.

I bought this product when we were replacing our countertops last year. I had the guys fit the sink in and they asked where I had gotten the sink from as they were impressed with the quality. It's been a year now and the sink still looks great, I find it easy to clean and the depth is great for hiding any stray dirty dishes that can't go into the dishwasher. I've always had a two bowl sink, I love how big the one bowl is for soaking pans with stubborn food!

Gorgeous sink-love it! Excellent quality, great space and looks very stylish.But wanted to leave a review for Amazon’s excellent service and integrity. 6 months after the purchase, Amazon still gave me a credit due to changes in import duty. Not many companies would do that as I was none the wiser. So thank you Amazon for being so honest and looking after the interests of your customers. Your service during the pandemic has been the best! No excuses about availability, Covid etc- you always deliver and have never let me down.

This is a good quality kitchen sink bowl, installed and have been used, very happy with the depth.
