KRAUS KWU111-23 Kore Workstation 23-inch Undermount 16 Gauge Single Bowl Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink with Integrated Ledge and Accessories (Pack of 5)

The media could not be loaded.  This sink was the ONE thing that I was looking forward to MOST about our newly renovated kitchen, even more than the new easy to clean quartz countertop and backsplash. This workstation sink was the one thing that got me excited and eager to use.BUT....this sink has turned out to be such a disappointment that it hurts my heart to think how much we spent on it and the quality we got in return :( it's only been installed for THREE DAYS and it is already got rust spots. See photos and video attached. Even the colander it comes with had a rust spot the NEXT MORNING and I never even used any cleaning product on it. We live in a city with municipal water that is clean enough to drink from the tap so we can't even blame the water. The cause has to be the quality of this sink.It's stressing me out because I feel like I need to baby this sink and treat it like a fragile piece of glass rather than the sturdy heavy duty steel it advertises to be. Now I'm always worrying about wiping it dry after each use (not sustainable) and what new rust spots are ging to pop up next.I use Vim to clean it (which is safe for the countertops) and always rinse right away. My last stainless steel sink was a cheapo piece of junk from the local hardware store for only $100 and it NEVER rusted. Even after letting it soak with Clorox bleach spray for days.Also....the water and food does not drain to the right towards the drain as it advertises because the slope towards the drain is so subtle that there may as well be no slope at all. That was a feature that attracted me to buy this sink as well. Too bad they were false claims.This sink is not worth a penny unfortunately which is such a disappointment to say. Worst part is, our brand new countertop has already been cut for the size of this sink and it's been professionally installed and now we are stuck with it 😭Dear Amazon and dear Kraus, how are you possibly going to make this right?

Excellent sink. Super functional and looks great. Well built. One of the best purchases for our kitchen. The included accessories are great. The grate keeps you dishes from touching the sink bottom. The foldable silicone coated stainless steel rack eliminates our need to have a dish rack. Looks good as well. Well built. The included cutting board is also a nice touch. Highly recommended.

its an ok sink, the thin divider is good to have to wash long items as is the shelf system. i haven't had a stainless sink for a while, but this one scratches up visibly immediately, - its brushed so i guess that makes sense. I replaced the so-so stock drain with a deeper one (Azuni was solid metal best value i could find). Best to find a model that comes with the deeper drains and baskets.the silicone covered rack is nice but it gets spots on it all the time. other sinks have stainless rack with silicone at the ends, but stuff might slide around in that i guess. haven't really used the cutting board yet. i wont use the 2 provided drains or mounting clips, and may not use the 2 racks that go at the bottom, so i'm paying for stuff i wont use. i think they have a similar model with deep drain baskets or i would have bought stylish brand, another decent value. The stainless is thick as described but the bottom scratches up like a skating rink, maybe any brushed stainless sink does. I think the single bowl is better honestly than the 50/50 design, so much more space, but at half the price of a standard fridge i don't know if i would call this good value. there are similar no name options at the 2-300 range and artika has a similar product for even less (at some retailers). Overall happy with it, apart from the scratches and the somewhat high price (it goes up and down quite a lot, keep an eye on it).

I've seen a few negative reviews on this sink, even one stating that it's rusting.....I've never seen stainless steel rust so I don't know how that's even possible. I just want to reassure anyone considering this sink that it is well worth it.The sink is a nice heavy guage stainless. You can tell there's quality by eye when you unpack it, plus it's way heavier than you'd expect. It comes very well packaged, so if anyone had one damaged in shipping, it's not the sellers fault, they packed it well. Not only in formed Styrofoam in the box , but they even put the sink in a giant fabric bag. The accessories that come with it are handy, I haven't actually used the cutting board because I have about a dozen already in my kitchen, but the strainer basket is reallyhandy for peeling/cutting vegetables and catch the trimmings

Returned Kore Workstation Sink without installing because I didn't like the way the end-pieces were welded on. The inside corners were 90 degrees and you could see a very fine seam, less than a hair, but still there. Everything else was perfect. Backside was completely sealed. Sink looked beautiful, heavy, solidly-built, with nice accessories. Wish I could have gotten rid of the doubt because I'm sure it would have been fine but went with another brand that had smooth, welded 10mm radius corners for a seamless bowl.
