Ruvati 33-inch Workstation 60/40 Double Bowl Undermount 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Ledge Kitchen Sink - RVH8356

EDITING THIS ON NOV. 8, 2022: ** RE: accumulation of debris in the seams/corners: it happens a lot. Is it horrible, no. Is it a pain, yes? Am I subtracting a star? No, because I still love the sink. A huge drawback to the metal racks in the bottom of each sink -- the wee rubber clamps that attach to the wires. Let me see if I can describe this well: • each wire rack has four rubber clamps, one in each corner, that actually rest on the sink bottom. • in addition, for design sake, I guess, each rack has several rubber clamps that also attach to the wire, but don't touch the sink bottom. They appear to be simply for design, and I agree, they do look GREAT. • The big caveat is that all of the clamps — even the functional corner clamps — attract debris, which turns, I think, to a black mold-like substance. To clean them, you have to pop them off the wire, get a brush and bleach, glove up, and scrub. Then you rinse them and pop them back on. We've decided to keep only the four rubber clamps in each corner which keep the wire racks off the metal. The design-only clamps have been cleaned, dried, and stored under the kitchen sink. When/if we sell this house we'll put them back on the racks. PROS: Really like this work station sink. Of the three items that come with it— cutting board, rectangular collander, steel slat drying rack — I'm happiest with the steel slats. We use it all the time -- it's like an extension of the countertop, but still allows you wash dishes on the left and to rinse them on the right. Also really like the metal racks that drop into each side as they keep silverware off the sink floor. CAVEATS: • Make sure you measure carefully your faucet and soap dispenser, and are clear with your fabricators as to where you want the holes for each drilled in the slab. • You also need to measure carefully your faucet and soap dispenser and make sure each is long enough to extend into the sink bowl. Our faucet and soap dispenser don't extend far enough into the sink because I didn't measure. This is my first kitchen remodel and it wasn't on my radar to be mindful of this. As a result of the faucet not extending more into the sink bowl, we do get some water splatter on the counter and kitchen window. We've learned to hold low whatever we're washing and that has fixed the problem. • You also need to be mindful of the faucet's handle location. Our faucet handle is to the right, and that means when our hands are wet and we turn it off, we get water on the counter which then needs to be wiped. • When faucet shopping I looked at a touchless model but nixed it because I thought it would be just one more thing to go wrong. I'd rethink that now. In addition, I'd look for a faucet with a handle not to the side, but in front of the faucet, pointing into the sink. That would help negate the water on the counter issue. • Cleaning the sink — I'd like a bit more of a slope to the sink bottom so that food/debris in the sink corners can be more easily pushed to the drain. (Ruvati, you could offset the slope by adjusting the height on each rack's feet.) PACKAGING: Holy smokes. BEAUTIFUL. Normally I could give two hoots about packaging, but everything was so thoughtfully packaged with an eye toward protecting the sink and accessories. Thank you, Ruvati. OVERALL: I recommend this sink. I like the double sink as opposed to the single sink (one large trough).

If you are going to remodel your kitchen, this is the sink to buy. We have had our for three years and still looks like new. Also the accessories' that come with it make even more desirable.

Beautiful sink. Solid craftsmanship. I really researched sinks and am pleased with my choice. It is a deep sink, which has been a bit of an adjustment since my last sink was shallow. I've had no issues with rinsing food particles down the drain like some reviews have mentioned. Love the accessories, but have found they inhibit the use of the sink, so I've removed the cutting board. Love the rolling rack to use for drying dishes. If you purchase the double sink, I highly recommend researching a faucet that extends far enough so it lands around the middle of the basins. Mine is a high arc faucet, but doesn't extend out very far, so I have to lean toward the back of the sink to wash my hands, rinse dishes, etc. I'm 5'-6". This shouldn't be an issue with the single basin sink since you can swing the faucet in the middle, but with the divider on the double basin, you have to swing the faucet right or left and I'm finding I'm leaning to access the water.

Love it - looks great, works great All of the accessories are very good quality Corners are very hard to clean

I really love this sink. Great price and quality. I love the accessories this sink came with and they are the reason I choose this particular sink. The accessories are useful and well thought out. I love the wire thing that sits at the bottom of the sink. At first I thought I wasn't going to use it because I don't care if the sink gets scratched, I just wanted to use it without worrying about it (most people use it to protect the sink from getting scratched by items that sit at the bottom of the sink). However, we put one in and we use it to dry the plates we hand wash on the other side. The drain covers are really nice and well made, they come with a tiny little basket you can take out to throw away the junk that gets caught in there. The cutting board and strainer that fit inside on the ledge of the sink are very cool too. I like to cut vegetables over the sink on the cutting board and push them into the strainer. If you are getting your granite or marble done, make sure they don't cover the little ledge on the sink.

This is the most amazing sink. I use the cutting board and drainer all the time. Since these items drop into a rail in the sink, there is never a mess on your counter. The 60/40 split is perfect. The lower sink separation is great because you can wash large pans and rest them on the separation while washing. Nothing falls through the sink drains. They are easy to remove and clean. The cutting board and drainer are easy to store elsewhere, so they are not always blocking the sink.

As a kitchen/bath remodeler I see a lot of products that are not worth the price, this sink is worth more than it costs. Thick metal, great quality feel, very nice accessories, and very well packaged to protect against delivery damage. The size is bigger than standard so a big fry pan will fit flat and be submerged. Very important. My wife and my most recent client are reluctant to switch to the big single sink and this one is a perfect compromise. I’m doing my own kitchen soon and this is the sink I am using.

We searched for weeks for a sink that was 60/40 and had a work station. We were so impressed with the packaging and quality of this sink. It looks beautiful in our new kitchen and the attachments are great but big so make sure you have a place to store them. I do like the buckets to trap the food but find they get clogged very quickly because the drain holes are very small. Also, to plug the drain, you need to completely swap the drain stops as there are 2 sets. Other than that, it is an amazing sink.

Love it. The accessories are great, note you will need the drain piping plumbing but worth it. Just make sure your contractor cuts the granite correctly to fit the drying racks, cutting boards, etc.

awesome

The sink is well built and nicely packaged. One of the design flaws - the water does not drain completely. The cutting board that came with it had a little damage (picture attached). Its great to have the divider a bit lower than the sink edge and the compartments are deep enough. The installer did not use the mounting bracket that came with it - apparently they always use their special adhesive designed for quartz countertops and set the sink in for 24 hours to cure and I just needed to connect all the plumbing afterwards. Countertop /sink installation took about an hour, plus 24 hour waiting time for adhesive to set and about 2 hours for plumbing work after that. All in all I think it is worth it.

Deep and practical
