Ruvati 15-inch Workstation Bar Prep Sink Ledge Undermount 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Single Bowl - RVH8304

30" under mount Ruvati: Update - I have had the sink installed for 13 months and I LOVE IT. I can't believe the difference it has made from my previous double basin sink. The depth of the sink means I never have an issue getting pans clean without getting water everywhere. Others commentating have reported problems with rust spots appearing in a very short amount of time. I have had no such problems. I don't do anything special re: cleaning, just a soft sponge and Dawn soap.Pre-install comment: Unboxed product 2 months pre-install to inspect wooden accessories as others had complained. Mine were gorgeous and in great shape, nothing worn or misshapen. All expected parts and accessories were included.Other comments indicated there was no gradient to the bottom of the sink to aid drainage despite the product description. I wasn't sure if this comment would hold for the 30" model but, unfortunately, it does. The bottom feels completely flat. I actually do not care about that but others might. Update: The bottom feels flat but 13 months post install and I can say there is zero problem with drainage.It's a gorgeous product and with all the included accessories, I don't think you'll find a better price out there.

My son had a Ruvati and that is from him that learn about this product. We got a beautiful square work station sink. I have not used the chopping board yet but i am having second thoughts not using it to chop my fruits/veggies as i don't want to ruin the beautiful wood. The 16-gauge is excellent because it gives less noise when you put down your plates, pots and pans. This comes with a rack which is exactly made for this Ruvati sink.. It is a beautiful product. Recommended for folks out there who'd like to change their sink, more space and double purpose with the chopping board as big as the sink :) Thank you.

I absolutely love this sink. And I have never loved a sink. When I first saw it, I was apprehensive about the name, as it seemed maybe gimmicky or too good to be true, but it was not. This is truly is the workhorse of my small galley kitchen.With limited counter space I needed a sink that didn't demand counter space for dirty dishes on one side and a drying rack for clean ones on the other. And this sink eliminates the need for both. At any one moment, within its 26" width, I will have coffee cups dripping dry on its expandable drainer, fruit rinsing in its colander, and the removable cutting board ready for chopping.And at 10" deep, there is plenty of room to set pots and pans when I am done using them. I could also probably wash a dog in it.The sink is very well designed and built and came with instructions on caring for it, including the lovely dark wood of the colander and the cutting board.

I do love the quality of the sink stainless steel. The "bells and whistles" aka added features are nice too, but there are some things to get used to with this type of sink. First of all the good: nice and deep, the cutting board is awesome. It comes with a drain hole cover that can sit over the opening on its legs and allow the water to drain without needing to worry about dropping anything down the opening. I needed a disposal, so I couldn't use the adorable little sink strainer it came with. The grate for the bottom of the sink is also very nice. The colander, which I was really excited to get with the sink, is a nice feature, but it is actually too bulky. There is not enough room to keep the colander and the cutting board on the ledge provided and still use the sink to wash pots and pans or basically anything. So, I have to move those items to the counter or temporarily store on the cooktop, which I was not expecting. And, it is hopeless to think you could use the drain rack and keep the colander and/or cutting board out too. Thus, you need to have storage options for these accessories. Each is great, but they are taking up more storage room that I had planned on. Now to what I don't like about the sink: first of all, it is a pain to keep clean. I knew it was flat, but I expected some slope to help to drain the water and debris. Nope. Everything, just everything rinsed off of a plate, pot or bowl gets pushed out to the corners of the sink and remains there. I swear my water bill will increase dramatically, because I run it so often trying to wash the debris from, for example, a salad, down the drain. So, in order to clean it, you have to remove all accessories, including the bottom rack, and then you have to scrub because if you don't do this after each use, whether rinsing something easy like a bowl of oatmeal, then a film of whatever you rinsed is left spread out on the bottom of the sink below the elevated grate. And, when I realized that I needed to scrub the sink basically each day, I saw little rust spots along the edge of the base. Small, like the size of a not so sharp pencil. But in order to scrub out the rust spots, I need to use the scouring sponge, the one that you are not supposed to use because it scratches the stainless steel. I also noticed that even though I have not scrubbed the side of the sink (the vertical parts) with the scouring pad, there are scratches showing. I know stainless steel scratches, but this is 16 guage and I expected it to not scratch when a scrubbing brush is used. One with plastic bristles. The other thing is dang, cleaning those corners is tough. It's hard to get the small spots of rust out of those corners. I'm hoping that it doesn't fail or have more rust, because it is an undermount with thick granite, and it is not able to be changed. To sum it up, I really do like the "look" of the sink. It is a big basin with some very sexy features; but in practicality, those features could become a pain because of storage and just cumbersome to have to remove the base grate to clean the sink each day. I even tried pouring boiling water over the grate to see if that would wash away the food debris film, and it didn't. And, I'm a vegetarian, so this isn't even meat waste or fat or grease. But given that I absolutely hated my prior tiny two bowl ceramic sink, I am better off with this one. I'm just hoping that the rust spots are not anything that relates to poor quality stainless steel.

Happy that I splurged for this sink with accessories! I needed a sink immediately because countertops were being measured for the template. I originally wanted a lower priced sink, but it would not arrive on time for the contractor. Due to the smaller size required , my options were limited for immediate delivery. I LOVE the sink, especially the foldable, drying rack, colander, and cutting board. My contractor was happy I bought a quality product.
