A great value for a top-shelf sink. The added depth is a huge positive. The drain covers and the grates were nice additions to the sink purchase. Comes with sink mounts for bot above-countertop and below-countertop mounting.

As the last of the attached photos shows, the sink is beautiful installed. I really like the contrast of stainless steel with the copper-clad countertop, and it's such a modern, sleek look. Cannot speak yet to durability or maintainability, but so far I love it.It's a good thing I am handy, because it had two basic problems I had to overcome.The first, as shown in the second photo (they are not in ideal order), is that the edge that rests on the counter is just the thickness of the sheet stainless steel. The instructions indicated to simply bed this down in caulk, but I did not think this would make a good, long-lasting seal. The bottom along the edge needed to present a broader surface for the caulk to interact with. As shown in the first photo, I achieved this by glueing 1/4" brass rod along the perimeter. I used JB Weld epoxy. When installed this provided plenty of purchase for the caulk, along with stiffening the edges. I could have used wood but I wanted maximum water resistance in case the caulk ever failed anywhere. I expect the same could be achieved, more cheaply, with autobody filler carefully leveled off.The second problem is the clips provided to secure the sink to the countertop from underneath. They look ingenious and elegant, but, unless you have easy access to the sink from underneath (very unlikely in an existing countertop - possibly if attaching the sink to the countertop before attaching the countertop to the cabinet) - they are virtually unusable. The reason is that the springy part that gets drawn up against the underside of the countertop sticks out far enough that, if they are installed on the sink prior to dropping it into the cutout, it can't fit, as I discovered when I tried it. If the cutout were enlarged sufficiently to avoid this, I suspect the sink would just fall through the cutout, or at least be dangerously close to doing so. If you had plenty of room on all sides you might be able to attach the clips from underneath after dropping the sink in; luckily, this proved unnecessary. I'd advise against using the clips anyway as I doubt you could ever get them off again to remove the sink if you needed to.The good news is, at least given my brass rod alteration, caulk alone is more than sufficient for a very strong bond between sink edges and countertop. I threw the clips in the metal recycling.The caulk I used was GE Silicone Metal, in stainless steel color. Makes for a beautiful, strong yet almost invisible finishing touch that I expect to last a long time, without water infiltration. Time of course will tell. Be sure to use carefully-aligned masking tape on both countertop and sink edge before caulking, for a first-class result.I used the drain fitting it came with though dubiously, as except for the top as seen in the sink, it is made of plastic. Remains to be seen how it holds up, especially to boiling pasta water poured down the drain. It did make a perfect, non-leaking seal on the first attempt (no plumbers putty), which is more than I can say with any prior drain I've installed - the type that does use plumbers putty. It has an unusual way of working - rather than tightening a large nut the circumference of the drain from underneath, the top and bottom halves are connected via a bolt that extends from the bottom piece upwards, to which is screwed a fitting in the center of the drain from the top. Seems to work quite well - the only issue is that the slot the fitting has, intended to get a purchase on it when tightening, has a hole in the middle, and the two ends are too far apart to use even a very large screwdriver. I used an old 1" chisel as a screwdriver, which worked great.I figure if the drain does not hold up it will be easy to remove and replace, so I took a chance on it.If it weren't for these issues it would be five stars.The faucet, of course, is not included with the sink.

Tengo más de 6 meses con la tarja y la calidad sigue estando como nueva. Hace menos ruido en comparación a las tarjas convencionales cuando algo se cae y es muy sencilla de instalar. El tamaño es muy grande y se aprovecha muy bien el espacio al ser cuadrada y tener la división en medio. La mejor opción por diseño y el precio

We bought 2 33-inch sinks from Kraus, as we were building an intergenerational house with my mother in law. This one was for my mother-in-law as it's an overmount sink, and she was not putting in a granite counter like us. The half-wall in the centre of the two sinks is genius! We wish they made an undermount sink like this one. She finds it much easier to clean big pots and pans with the half-wall. The only thing we didn't anticipate was the width of the sink. It is indeed 33-inches long, but it is wider than a standard sink! We didn't think to check the dimensions of the width when buying. It takes up almost the whole width of her island. Also, because we hadn't anticipated the width, she cannot use the small top drawer under the sink, which is one of those tip-out sponge-keepers. Not a big deal because it is otherwise a wonderful sink! My short mother-in-law just has to lean a little bit further to reach the taps!

Looks fabulous. My husband said it was fairly easy to install. He did it with the plumber. And the accompanying faucet makes it look like a custom kitchen. Only drawback is that you do have to take a little time to spray water to keep the bottom of the sink clean. That said any effort is worth the way it has transformed the kitchen. By the way if you were worried about a single sink, I had a double before and I would never go back. It allows you to wash large items easily, and you can easily use part of the sink to dry while you continue to wash on the other side. The rack that it comes with prevents scratching and allows you to dry dishes in the sink. We also opted for no soap holder.A squeeze bottle easily sits in the sink and you can’t see it. It keeps the whole look very clean

I usually spend a LOT of time picking out pretty much EVERY item I buy (even down to something as simple as a hairbrush!), but with all of the conflicting reviews on the other stainless steel sinks I looked at, I just got fed up and let my husband find one! When he came up with this one, I wasn't so sure, because it looked so "industrial" and not very pretty. And even when it came, I wasn't convinced - it just looked so boxy. Installation wasn't too difficult, although my husband did have to cut a few notches into our countertop to accommodate the installation clips (we have an old laminate countertop, so it wasn't hard to cut with the right electric handsaw), but that was it. The sink drains nicely (some of the reviews for other sinks complained that the water pooled in the corners), and the grids that sit on the bottom to protect the sink from scratches are nice-looking, too! It may sound silly, but I REALLY love the super-pretty drain covers, rather than the usual sink strainer types!! !The faucet we purchased (KRAUS Nolen Spot Free Kitchen Faucet, Stainless, Pull Down, Single handle in all-Brite Steel Finish KPF-1673SFS) was, for me, what really made the difference, since it had simpler and cleaner lines and a "softer" look to it (versus the super-tall ones with the metal coils on the outside of the hose -for example, the Kraus KPF-1610SSCH Bolden Kitchen Faucet 18 inch Stainless Steel/Chrome). As far as functionality of the faucet, I love the rocker-style button that changes it from stream to spray, the hose retracts nicely, and I really don't notice any difference in the flow compared to my previous faucet (a Delta from 2002!). We also purchased the soap dispenser (Kraus Spot Free Kitchen Soap Dispenser Boden in all-Brite Stainless Steel Finish, KSD-53SFS), and I like the appearance of it, but some of the reviews noted that it sticks sometimes and doesn't come back up - and they're right, unfortunately. I did put some WD-40 on it (where the sliding parts are, on the stem), but it doesn't seem like it really made a difference, so I'm not sure WHY it's sticking, but I'll have to check it out some more. It doesn't stick EVERY time, though, so I'll just have to see whether it's worth putting up with or not.

The Kraus KHT 302-33 is a top quality, heavy duty, large and beautiful sink, which makes it very easy to do many cooking operations while keeping the kitchen counter free of a mess. We do a lot of cooking in our kitchens.The sinks low surface profile with the sloped edge to the counter top allows one to easily sweep the counter top debris into the sink. The sink comes with 2 heavy duty grates for the sink bottoms. I love using these grates for a variety of reasons. For anyone who has used sink bottom mats, you will love these grates. The sink drains perfectly because of its designed in slightly slope bottoms.This is the best sink I have ever had.
