I ordered this faucet as a replacement for a Delta we had installed when we built our house 3 years ago. The Delta was impossible to turn off and always leaked. I was nervous because I am not familiar with the Kraus brand, but I can say that this faucet is superior to the Delta we had! The faucet is beautiful and well made. It feels sturdy and looks more substantial. The flow is far better too. My husband did have to buy longer hoses, but that is not a big deal. It took him 15 minutes to install, including removing the old faucet. He said it was very easy… and he’s no plumber! He complained about having to do it, far longer than it took to actually get it done! One week in, I feel that we received an excellent value for the money spent. If that changes, I will update my review. The one minor downside is that the nozzle is not magnetic and I do have to gently tap it into place.
I am a designer and have used this sink in several homes. It beautiful, high style, high quality, and great price! Never a problem with delivery, well packed and arrives on time! If you are inn the fence goo for it, you won't be disappointed!
I don't hate my bathroom anymore! I replaced my old sinks, faucets, countertop using these sleek beauties and it only took my installers a couple of hours from start to finish! They cut the openings for the sinks & faucets after they arrived - It was easy to get it right with the template (included with the sink) and simple on-the-job check for accuracy. I had already painted the cabinet, replaced the hardware and put in new LED light fixtures so I'm happy with the results! The sinks are easy to clean and visually they don't overpower the space. I'm not crazy about the stoppers, but seldom use them so it's not a big deal for me. I'm very happy with this purchase.
Absolutely perfect! Quality was above anything I I could have bought at Big Orange or Big Blue home improvement stores. Shipping a bit slow but worth the wait. The 16 gauge material with the sound deadening makes it next level
At first we really liked this faucet set. A few days ago, the piece that holds the sprayer on fell off. By looking at the metal, it looks like it should have been welded better. It sucks because I have only had this installed for less than 6 months. I’m gonna try to put some JB Weld on it to see if it will hold, but I shouldn’t have to. Avoid this faucet if your looking.
Fantastic product. Very impressed with how well it was packaged for shipment. I ordered a sink/faucet package. I am very happy with finished product. Buy with confidence!
After going through FOUR of these cutting boards back to back due to mold growth on the bottom of the board, I finally came up with my own creative solution. If you are using this on top of Kraus workstation sink with a ledge, glue Cabinet door bumper dots using DAP glue to elevate the cutting board slightly and give room between cutting board and sink ledge. This avoids the cutting board resting on the watery ledge itself, leading to a buildup of mold on the underside. And trust me, no matter how careful you are about keeping the ledge clean, some water will always get on it due to the design of the sink. I also sprayed the underside of the board with Nikwax (a non toxic waterproofing spray) to be extra safe. And only use the top side of board for food prep.
The sink arrived as expected. Nicely shipped with zero issues. It’s heavy so if you install as the under-mount option as we did, you will need a support cradle (see photo). Our cabinet installers made one with extra wood on the spot to fit it. It took them 15 mins. I noticed other reviews state it didn’t drain well. We are not experiencing this. The sink has a slight but visible cant towards the drain. When washing dishes, food and water easily travel that way. I selected this sink specifically because the drain is on the side and not in the middle. I think this could be a difference maker for draining. We had a sink similar (in stainless steel) with the drain in the middle, and I hated spraying food and debris to the center drain near dishes I had already washed and set aside to dry. I could never keep it clean. No real fuss to keep this one clear of food debris with the drain on the far side. Even lazy husband has no issues with keeping it drained and clear of food debris. We did have a plumber install a garbage disposal. This was a little more costly as it required us to purchase an “extra deep disposal flange” ( about $100 for the flange) due to the thickness of the sink. See photo. Counter installers used a laser to measure the sink to fit the quartz counters cutout exactly. I think with fire clay there could be some variations, but the sink appears true and rectangular to the naked eye. It installed with zero problems. It’s beautiful sink. It was also more affordable compared to a quality cast iron. We purchased the custom grid sink protector to prevent dishes from breaking out damaging the sink’s finish (see picture). It does a great job of supporting heavy casserole dishes. Obviously, we have only used it for a short time, and I will update if any concerns come up in the future. Lastly, I wanted a work stain sink. The Kraus brand allows you to purchase accompanying items that fit inside the groove of this mode for customizable options. Some are pricey but are a beautiful addition to the sink’s functionality. We are very happy with this purchase after spending months trying to compare fire clay with cast iron to enameled sinks. This is a clear winner for our budget, needs, and aesthetic desires.
Item came used and defective with missing nozzle.
No drips, long spout reaches over sink. Easy install and top fill. Beautiful gold color to match with the rest of my kitchen. Good quality !!
Very happy with my purchase. Hubby says easy to install. (We did add alittle silicon waterproofing - actually Loctite- around the inner hole and edge of the chest of drawers we made into the vanity and after that- no leaks) I love the ribbing on the inside, makes it look classier and not like just a bowl from the kitchen. Good size too. Waiting on parts but we are teaming it up with a waterfall faucet that will look lovely.
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!
First off the color is a perfect champagne bronze, but just know it’s not like the brushed brass. That is so popular now. I did have it professionally installed so I don’t know about the difficulty of installation. Functionality wise. It works well provides decent pressure my only negative is if that you don’t get the nozzle back into the holder, it will flip up and spray you. The weight that holds down the nozzle seems a bit cheap but we’ll see how it holds up. Overall, it’s a beautiful piece.
The switch that toggles between the spray modes broke, and the black paint keeps flaking off and falling in my food. Hope it's not toxic.
Air-switch is rated at 3 amps, which translates to somewhere between 0.46 - 0.5 HP (115-125V) max capacity. 3/4 and 1 HP disposers definitely are outside this range, and 1/2 HP units are arguably sketchy. That leaves this device to be safely used with only Kraus' 1/3 HP units. Annoyingly, Kraus appears to have suppressed this info in any product description or spec sheet. So, caveat emptor people - try not to burn down your homes with garbage intended to power a garbage disposer... hmm, ironic.
