KRAUS Kore 21-Inch Undermount Workstation 16 Gauge Single Bowl Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink with Accessories, KWU111-21

Very happy with this sink so far. Had it for a few weeks now. It looks amazing and feels very robust. I found the mounting clips to not be the greatest but they did the job. The sink itself is so thick and heavy that it weighs itself down quite well. One other thing to keep in mind, I installed this on a laminate countertop. Due to the weight of the sink, the sides in the centre of the sink don’t sit perfectly flush to the countertop. I don’t think I can fault Kraus for this issue, it’s just crappy, weak, bowing laminate. I was able to remedy this gap with a bit of extra silicone caulk. Don’t let any of the negative reviews deter you from buying this sink. My friend is a plumber and he said that usually the less expensive no name brand sinks have quality control issues and don’t fit properly or come out of the box already damaged.

The sink arrived in great shape, the box was damaged but nothing damaged on the sink. It was an amazon warehouse damaged box purchase for $150 less than a new one. Weve had the sink installed for about a month now, the sink itself seems very durable and fairly easy to clean. The accessories appeared great at first site but the next day we noticed a strong odor from the sink. We thought it was from the drain but turned out to be the cutting board. It smelled like manure, we didnt even use the board yet only washed it after unpackaging as it had a sort of packaging smell (it was in a sealed plastic wrap). We tried washing it again with lemon and baking soda but the smell only seemed to get worse, we had to put the board outside as we couldnt tolerate that smell in the new kitchen. We contacted kraus and asked if this is normal or what they recommend, they offered to ship a new cutting board under warranty. While waiting for the new cutting board to arrive we noticed the black PVD finish peeling off on the drain strainer, we wiped the sink with a soft sponge and warm water/dish soap after every heavy use...even with gentle washing the finish came off...we suspected it wasnt coated in the same manner as the sink itself as the finish on the sink hasnt even shown a scratch as of yet let alone peel off. When reaching out to Kraus again to ask about the drain assembly issue and to ask if its a different coating process than the sink they were reluctant to help out, then they stated that the sink was an amazon warehouse purchase and as such they would no longer honor the warranty. The sink was registered with kraus.com for their warranty when we installed it (as indicated with the documentation that came with the sink). We were surprised that they refused to honor the warranty after they already accepted the item through the product registration and they accepted to warranty the cutting board. We didnt bother pursuing it with kraus and instead contacted amazon directly. Amazon was very helpful they offered a discount if we kept the sink which was enough to cover the cost for another drain assembly (its too much trouble to have the sink removed and returned). Once we recieved the new cutting board (acacia wood, we opened it and smelled it before washing and it had the similar odor, like a barn/manure...that new cutting board went straight outside...we are looking to purchase a different brand cutting board that fits the workstation, we wont purchase any other wood product from Kraus. The sink so far has been great otherwise only slight issue which is expected is the accessory rails have worn slightly from moving the drying rack on it (the roll out drying rack is great). Aside from the slight issues with the accessories and the poor service from Kraus we like the sink and we are very pleased withbthe service recieved from amazon.

Seems well made and good quality, but it's not straight, one corner is crooked and my contractor was unable to install it. Will be returning it.

We ordered this 21” sink from the Amazon warehouse deals, and we knew the product packaging was damaged as described on the site. We received the sink and yes the package was a mess, but all parts and accessories were included documentation, Manuals, etc were all there. And the sink was in good condition, except it was not 21” but 17”, huge difference. After some back and forth with customer service, they offered a small discount, and we kept the sink. Kraus makes a nice sink, I have no issues with the product, but the seller, think twice before ordering from Amazon warehouse deals, make sure to inspect the product. This was poorly inspected, mislabelled, improperly described, and placed on the site for sale, not a good look for the seller.

We bought this for a kitchen renovation in our home and chose it based on the great reviews. It was very easy to install. It is a heavier gauge stainless steel and it is definitely more quiet when running the garbage disposal than our old sink was. It comes with a cutting board that inserts into the sink top grooves (we don't use that much) and a dish rack that also sits on top of the sink, which I love and use all the time. It is sturdy and rolls up and out of the way, making it very convenient and useful. My complaint is that it came with a grid insert, which I have used since the sink was installed. It has 6 small rubber feet to keep it elevated off the bottom of the sink. This is very difficult to clean and it catches food constantly. It also has scratched the sink in every spot where the feet are. I have tried to scrub the marks, hoping they would go away, but they appear to be permanent. Also, even with the metal grate, somehow, there is a scratch in the sink, as though a utensil was scraped across it. I am really disappointed in the markings on the sink. I think there must be some other material that could be used for these rubber feet that would be softer and would not leave marks. I grew up with a stainless steel sink in the kitchen and don't remember it being so sensitive. I want to discontinue using the grid, but my fear is that the "stainless", is not really, and that if a cast iron pan was left in the sink, that it would leave a mark. Be aware that this sink has corners, not rounded corners, but straight corners, and food tends to accumulate there. It is not easy to keep clean. I would not buy this again, and if given the opportunity, I would switch it out. That's not going to happen because we had it installed under the granite counter top, so I will be living with it.
