Ruvati 21-inch Undermount Tight Radius 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Bar Prep Kitchen Sink Single Bowl - RVH7121

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.

Yes. It's a sink. We all need one in a functional kitchen. But, as far as sinks go, this one is different and special.It arrived on schedule, in a sturdy box, encased in styrofoam. I'm not sure how any of these could be damaged in shipping. I ordered the 30" wide RVH7300. Upon unboxing, I was immediately impressed. All the accessories were individually boxed and the sink itself was inside a protective "sock" of sorts. Very, very nice.First inspection revealed an beautifully finished, extremely sturdy/rigid piece. This thing is built like a stainless steel tank. This 16ga sink is no joke. I checked out an 18ga Kohler and the thickness and quality of the Ruvati rivaled the Kohler easily. When I dropped it into my sink base, it immediately added structural rigidity.I installed (well, my stone guys did) the sink in an Ikea 30" sink base. Yes, a 30" sink in a 30" base. IT CAN AND WAS DONE!! With the sound dampening on the sides, the sink barely fit. There's probably only a 1/16" of an inch of clearance total. When they came to measure the cabinets for install of the tops, it was decided to simply allow the sink to rest on the cabinet base, measure extraordinarily carefully and then drop the top onto it, expoxying it all together. That's exactly what happened and it turned out perfect. They ran an additional silicone bead around the inside lip to further seal the sink to the tops. I'll upload pics of the fit and the finished product soon.Just a week's use so far. But, it's been everything I could have hoped for in a giant single bowl stainless sink you could wash your child/dag/whatever in. The thickness of the stainless, combined with the sound dampening material means you hear the water coming out of the faucet more than you hear it hitting the floor of the sink. The sink wipes and cleans easily and drains well. Again, I know it's just a sink, but this thing makes me happy every time I use it. I paired it with a Kraus Sellete faucet. It's a proportional and gorgeous combination. The only sink I'd consider buying should the need arise again!

Nice quality deep large sink

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.
