Nice product. Twice as expensive as a generic brand but if you want to get the name brand some times you gotta pay up. I kept everything Krauss so the trim and finish would match. Looks great and works as it should. Easy to use, easy to install.
This product is top notch. It's exactly what I wanted and very easy to install. Very pleased.
The Kraus sink was an excellent purchase for a bathroom remodel project. Aside from being a very attractive vessel sink, it was simple to install and has proven tough as nails. It tolerated the impact of a few items clumsily dropped into the sink and always wipes clean to an out-of-box luster.
I usually spend a LOT of time picking out pretty much EVERY item I buy (even down to something as simple as a hairbrush!), but with all of the conflicting reviews on the other stainless steel sinks I looked at, I just got fed up and let my husband find one! When he came up with this one, I wasn't so sure, because it looked so "industrial" and not very pretty. And even when it came, I wasn't convinced - it just looked so boxy. Installation wasn't too difficult, although my husband did have to cut a few notches into our countertop to accommodate the installation clips (we have an old laminate countertop, so it wasn't hard to cut with the right electric handsaw), but that was it. The sink drains nicely (some of the reviews for other sinks complained that the water pooled in the corners), and the grids that sit on the bottom to protect the sink from scratches are nice-looking, too! It may sound silly, but I REALLY love the super-pretty drain covers, rather than the usual sink strainer types!! !The faucet we purchased (KRAUS Nolen Spot Free Kitchen Faucet, Stainless, Pull Down, Single handle in all-Brite Steel Finish KPF-1673SFS) was, for me, what really made the difference, since it had simpler and cleaner lines and a "softer" look to it (versus the super-tall ones with the metal coils on the outside of the hose -for example, the Kraus KPF-1610SSCH Bolden Kitchen Faucet 18 inch Stainless Steel/Chrome). As far as functionality of the faucet, I love the rocker-style button that changes it from stream to spray, the hose retracts nicely, and I really don't notice any difference in the flow compared to my previous faucet (a Delta from 2002!). We also purchased the soap dispenser (Kraus Spot Free Kitchen Soap Dispenser Boden in all-Brite Stainless Steel Finish, KSD-53SFS), and I like the appearance of it, but some of the reviews noted that it sticks sometimes and doesn't come back up - and they're right, unfortunately. I did put some WD-40 on it (where the sliding parts are, on the stem), but it doesn't seem like it really made a difference, so I'm not sure WHY it's sticking, but I'll have to check it out some more. It doesn't stick EVERY time, though, so I'll just have to see whether it's worth putting up with or not.
Been installed for about 4 weeks now with heavy daily use! I run a daycare so I do dishes 3-4 times a day! Temp control is accurate and easy. Pull down function is helpful and stretches far. Switching spray types is easy and has good pressure.
The sink arrived in a timely manner with no damage. Absolutely beautiful! The sink is heavy in weight. It was easily to install. Just make sure countertop is not thicker than the recommended thickness otherwise the drain will leak at the base. Here are some before and after photos. I completely remodel the bathroom myself.
We’ve had this installed for just over a year now. The black finish has chipped off in multiple spots and it looks horrible. I understand this isn’t an incredibly expensive item, but there’s not much to it, so for the price I’d think we’d get more than a year from it— especially for something that gets built in to expensive countertops!
These sinks are so nice! I’m so glad I went with these for my mid century mod/boho home! They are very good quality at a great price!
While its a perfect match to the Kraus Brushed brass faucet, it did not come with the electrical components needed for install hence the 3 star review, THIS IS JUST THE BUTTON- I think having a garbage disposal button is a prefect solution for the large island with no where to place your traditional switch except under the sink-
Love it. Quality construction with a nice finish.
Beautiful black faucet in my new kitchen.
I'm loving my new touchless faucet! It's so convenient, and my favorite part is the pull-down spray head with its extended range of motion. Now I can easily reach every corner of my sink. Definitely a game-changer!
A great sink if you like the look of a vessel sink, but also want it to have an overflow. We had this installed in a kid's bathroom to reduce the chances of our home being flooded if the sink was left on & drain stop was engaged. I also like that it doesn’t completely take up the counter space. There is still plenty of room to place things like make-up/toiletries while getting ready.
Beautiful and romantic looking. Swan neck provides a lot of space, helping the space look very clean.
We have had the Kraus Merlin spot free stainless faucet installed for almost a month now, and have been very happy with it. The only negative aspect was removal of our old leaky Delta, but installing the Kraus was surprisingly easy after following the instructions, and not a drop has leaked since. The styling of this faucet is similar to the Delta Berkley, which we were going to get at first. Even though we were unfamiliar with this company, we took a chance with this one for $50 less and couldn't be happier. It seems every bit as solid as the Delta, and maybe better in some ways. The spray action, extension and retraction work better than our old one. The spot free stainless finish really lives up to its name and always looks great. Just wish the rest of the old sink also looked this nice. The warranty is lifetime, which is good because that's how long we plan to hang on to this gem. Glad to have discovered Kraus!
