20 Best Drop In Stainless Steel Kitchen Sinks (2022 Updated)

This is a fantastic sink. Especially for the price. The different sized basins are nice and the room for the single hole faucet works great. The basket strainer that comes with this is enormous and works so well.

Finish has held up well over past 9ish months too. Zero complaints. This is a fantastic sink – doubly so due to the low price relative to alternatives.

This sink is beautiful. I bought this sink with some reluctance after not hearing of this company. The primary reason was for the depth and drains. When the sink came the quality became evident. It was relatively easy to install.

I had concerns from other reviews; the fit was tight but no more than any other of its size. The material to muffle noise is more than just a spray-on. I will never buy anything but Kraus for stainless sinks again.

I love this sink! There aren’t many large basin / small basin double-sinks out there, and the choices become even fewer when you want options like drains to the back and ‘one hole’ for faucet installation.

Most of the options are also much pricier than this one. Once I’d settled on this Kraus model, I found the local DIY places either didn’t carry it, couldn’t order it, or had it on backorder. I ordered it from Build – my first experience with buying from them – and it arrived just a couple of days later.

The sink itself is every bit as nice as I’d hoped it would be. Even better was the superb service from Build. The prices here (I also bought the faucet for the sink from them) were the same as the stores I checked, and in two cases, a little lower than the stores.

The delivery was quick, the packing was well-done – next time I want something that’s out of the ordinary or not available locally, I will be looking here. Highly recommend Build. com – and the Kraus sink is a real gem, too!.

I love the design and style of this sink. It is really good quality with a heavy stainless Steel and sound proofing. it is very industrial while still fitting in a standard sink hole configuration. it was well packaged and even though the shipper did his level best to beat the box in every possible way, the contents were still intact.

I do have a concern with the staining of the stainless steel. Shortly after install, before I even used it, I noticed some dark stains in the satin surface. The only thing that was in that sink was the use of plumbers putty during the install.

I can’t imagine that would have caused it, but it is concerning that the stainless steel will stain that easily. I’m hoping with time and some elbow grease I can get it clean again, it was just scary to see before I had even put it through it’s paces.

I hope it isn’t a nightmare to keep looking nice.

This sink is the best thing we could have done to our kitchen. Aside from its fantastic looks, we absolutely love the size. The largest pans and baking sheets easily fit in flat for easy scrubbing. The depth is a full 3 inches more than our old sink, which is also a real benefit for less splashing and taller pots.

Even so, the garbage disposal easily fits, and there is actually more room in the cabinet below because our former dual drainpipes took up a lot of space. I don’t know why double bowl sinks were ever popular.

We use all of the accessories, too. Installation was tricky because the existing hole in our counter was a little too big front to back. We could not install the clips there, but did manage to get them in on the sides.

Honestly, getting the clips in place took a very long time, it was the longest, most stressful and most difficult part of the installation. Also, a shoutout to build. com. Prompt delivery, well packaged.

This sink is nice, but. It doesn’t look as elegant as photos show. On the cheap side actually. Extremely disappointed as to how easy it scratches. After 6 months, it looks bad. Going to spend the extra money for a better sink.

This sink is everything one could want and the roll-up drying rack is probably my favorite feature. It’s heavy grade stainless, very quiet, and it has not scratched in the three months since we installed it.

It’s easy to clean and, even in the corners, with Barkeepers Friend. It looks high end and is probably my favorite feature in our new kitchen.

Great looking sink and I love all of the extras that come with it. However, the corner edges make it very difficult to clean. I was looking for a dual mount because when I bought the sink I wasn’t sure if I’d have the budget to go with the countertops I wanted.

Really happy with my sink. I have a mall kitchen so having the drying rack and citing board features are very helpful. Easy to clean and I like that the drain I in the rear corner rather than the center.

Very nice quality sink. Like the extra depth as it really helps prevent the splashing when used with the taller faucets and pull down sprayers. Nice brushed finish. Would definitely recommend

I don’t know if there is a design flaw with this sink, but my installer said it’s one of the worst made sinks that he has seen in 30 years. I put in a new countertop, which is flat, but the when the sink was inserted in the opening it didn’t lie flat at the edges.

It was noticeable that either when it was constructed (stamped at the factory) or in the design that the edge is not the same along the right side. Plus, the clips are not strong enough to hold the sink down to the countertop.

After several hours of trying, he finally got it installed the best that he could. Because I was installing a new countertop and couldn’t be without a sink (my old one was bigger than this, 40 yrs old, and shot), and there were no local stores that carried one that would fit my base, so I couldn’t wait to send it back, get another one, and hope that it was made better.

This is a very nice and deep sink, beautifully and carefully packaged. Kraus has proven to be a reliable brand we use in our apartment building.

I used this in an efficiency apartment where countertop was lacking and you know the occupant isn’t likely to be cleaning up after a thanksgiving feast. The bowls are deeper than a “promo” sink, so the gauge of steel isn’t paper thin and the sink has a useable depth.

Product description was accurate enough that I had the counters cut prior to actually getting the sink and it all fit just fine. I have another unit we’re going through right away, but I really wanted to see this sink in person before I bought another.

I’m very happy and will order the second one with no qualms.

I am doing a small renovation to an rv that was in need of repairs. This sink replaced an old white plastic sink and almost fit perfectly in place but needed a small trimming of the countertop to allow for the rails that are attached to the underside of the sink (this is the part that will hold the mounting clips that will secure your sink to the countertop).

Used a cheap jigsaw to cut the countertop and had no problems. Haven’t used the sink yet. No dents or scratches.

Very easy replacement for my miserable RV kitchen sink. It fit the hole perfectly. The original sink had a regular sink on the left with a tiny rinsing sink on the right. This sink has two equal sinks making it much easier to wash and rinse the dishes.

The Most Important thing, It’s Beautiful, no more ugly sink!.

I’ve had this sink for nearly 20 years and was just going to replace it because I cannot get it detached from the countertop that I’m replacing. I am the guy who washes the dishes in our family, and I think this is about the right size.

I’m not sure why zero radius sinks have become fashionable because 1) most of the pots pans and dishes you put into a sink are round anyway and 2) curved corners are much easier to wipe clean. The sink scratched shortly after I started using it, but I expected that.

Stainless steel is hard but not nearly as hard as ceramic plates. But after a little while, the interior surface developed a uniform patina and looked fine. I don’t think there is anyway to avoid scratches in a sink.

And if you had a sink that was somehow harder than all your dishes, presumably you’d be scratching them. I think this is a great sink.

We were looking for a single hole sink to fit in a 50″ counter space, deep enough to actually wash dishes, but small enough to leave space to stack a few plates. This sink was one of the few we could find that fit the bill for less than a month’s house payment.

That said, there are a few negatives. The stainless is relatively thin and flexed so much around the first faucet we tried, it just wasn’t useable. We ended up getting a shorter faucet that came with a flange (usually used to cover the other 2 holes in the sink), hoping the flange would reduce the flexing.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough space around the rim to use it. We ended up installing the flange on the underside of the sink which, along with the shorter faucet fixed the flexing proble. It also would have been nice if they had included a template, but it’s not that big a deal to trace around the sink and then cut 5/16ths (?) inside the tracing.

It did mount easily using the dozen little screw/clips provided. It would be really nice if Elkay would weld on a couple of strips of metal under the faucet area to eliminate the flex issue!.

This is a good sink. Wish they would have included a template for cutting hole. Beware when cutting the hole for your sink. The instructions say: (And will cause you to undercut the size of the hole).

I had to cut mine twice. 1. Turn sink over trace the outline of sink. 2. Measure 5/16 of an inch inside the trace line you just created. 3. Cut hole precisely as possible. This did not work for me as the hole was way too small.

Instead, trace the sink first, then measure the distance on the rails (sink upside down). Transfer the values from the sink to your traced outline. It’s much easier to only cut the hole *One time*, get it right the first time.

I used a jigsaw, through 1. 125 inch counter top. The fasteners were not really for 1. 125 inch counter, they worked but just barely. Decent sink though, no complaints.

Purchased this sink because of the 16 gauge stainless. No matter what you do or use to clean this sink you can never get the water spots out of it. The sinks stainless grate for bottom also has left permanent marks on the bottom of the sink.

Do yourself a favor and buy kohler.

Second time I’ve purchased this sink. It’s a great size and in case anyone cares, it DOES fit it a 30″ wide IKEA base. I like the quirky square drain. My existing like this one has been installed for 5 yrs now and has held up beautifully.

Kraus makes great products. This sink is nice and deep and the metal is a strong gauge. The square drain is a nice design feature. Be sure to get the square to circle adapter for a garbage disposal if needed.

The removable wire bottom is also very helpful.

Super value! Beautiful sink. The flat rim makes clean up so easy. And the straight edges of the sink give so much more room. Replaced an old cruddy 25 inch sink in a 36 inch cabinet. This one took up same amount of room but so much more sink space! Love it.

The packaging leaves a bit to be desired. Not enough padding around the sink corner. One came very modestly bent. Was able to hammer back into place. carefully!. with a padded mallet. P. s. don’t forget to buy the drain assembly.

Was looking for a smaller sink so as not to take up too much room on my counter. It really looks nice, and the single bowl is an ample size. The only thing I regret is that it came with a couple of scratches, but I can live with that and didn’t want to return.

If you are looking for a single bowl sink that is not as large as the standard single bowl sink, this one is for you. After painting the cabinets, putting in a new countertop, sink, and faucet, the room hardly looks like the 1950’s kitchen we started with.

Quality is excellent and shipping was super fast! They had the exact size/ dimensions I was looking for that I struggled to find in the home improvement stores. So glad I checked WayFair! Will post photos as soon as project is done!.

We just installed this sink, replacing our 33×22 stainless sink when we replaced our laminate counters. We always had a lake at the left side of the sink, from doing dishes, which ran down and ruined the dishwasher controls (3 replacements and finally a new dishwasher were needed!) underneath.

I was nervous about getting this, because it is a big hunk of stainless on the counter and the installers said it was rare. But I love this sink. I love the drainboard. All the water stays on the drainboard and runs into the sink.

So much easier to clean and more sanitary. Makes it easier to use the kitchen and do dishes. I know you can do undermount with laminate, but we read that you have to be careful about water near the faucets.

We don’t want to baby things in the kitchen. The sink does scratch more than the last one than I expected, but I do not care. It is a nice thick gauge steel and quieter than my 27 yr old builder model.

It is so functional. Each basin is nice and deep. It fits in the 33×22 space but there is actually more room inside the basins. Love love love this sink. Our installer was a true pro. Make sure you have someone really good to cut out the hole for the drainboard.

This sink replaced my old sink in the washroom off my garage. The supplied hardware worked nicely to pinch and mount the sink to the countertop. Just ensure you put a bead of silicone down before you tighten the sink down or you will have to loosen and re-tighten the screws.

The construction of the sink has a nice appearance and the stainless steel has a very nice appearance that I am sure will last a very long time. The sink also feels very rigid and strong as far as not denting with dropping large dishes in it.

I did not have any leaks as well in the drain connection area and the fountain also installed securely as well. Overall a very nice sink that I am sure will give me years of good use.

The Elkay Stainless Steel Single Bowl Drop-in Laundry sink is the perfect addition to my classically styled laundry room. This sink is made of nice thick stainless steel, you can really feel the difference when you tap your finger on it.

it just feels more solid than other sinks. The sound dampening pads affixed to the outside of the bowl also help reduce noise and vibration. It is a little shallow for a laundry sink, but my wife loves it as she feels like she doesn’t hurt her back bending over to reach the bottom.

Honestly, we haven’t had occasion to need the additional depth yet. so maybe it’s fine. Installation is a snap with the u-channel mounting rails / clips. Much easier than a standard installation.

I installed this sink today and had to cut the hole a little bigger as I expected. There is not much room for error on that part because the mounting strips are so close to the edge. Another thing I did not like were the tiny flathead screws to secure it with.

Its hard to see the tiny slot under the sink. I could suggest a hex head screw that one could use a nut driver on would be nice. Overall, I guess Im pretty satisfied with the purchase and time will tell how it holds up.

Replaced a kitchen sink in a camper. Works great. Install pretty easy. Had to cut my counter a little, but that was to be expected. So much better than the sink that came with the camper (plastic)

For those purchasing it if you can measure the size of your counter sink cut out do so. The anchor channels are welded at the edge of the sink on the front back and sides. Although it’s a 33×19 inch sink it needed a cut out 1″ wider all around.

It didn’t just drop in. Also the anchor bolts are black and the flat head screw slot is small. Makes for a very hard time even with a lot of light screwing them down. I wound up brushing some white out on the tips to see them better.

And my last complaint, the base plate to my faucet was too wide since there is a ridge at the back of the sink. Thankfully my faucet could mount without a base plate. Overall I like it for the price.

Looooove how deep and wide this sink is. Big enough to even fit a baby bathtub inside and also to bathe baby when she outgrew the tub. Although I love the sink and would buy it again, there are some downsides:- if the install is not exact, the accessories may not fit well.

My quartz counter opening was cut a millimeter too small, so I have had to sand down the wooden cutting board for it to be able to slide freely. I- I found the sink grid annoying to keep clean so stopped using it, therefore leading to some scratches at the bottom- the corners are indeed very tight, which looks nice but actually easily builds up with food gunk.

The tight ess makes it harder to clean out as well. The ledges for the accessories also tend to collect water and gunk. Make sure you have a small brush on hand to clean those tight areas out!.

I had read other reviews mentioning small rust spots in this sink but figured it may have just been a defect and decided to take my chances. Low and behold within the first 2 weeks of having our sink installed and in use, I am getting these tiny little rust spots that don’t just wipe off.

Yes, Bar Keepers Friend removes them with a bit of scrubbing, but in my opinion a quality “stainless steel” sink shouldn’t be rusting within the first two weeks – or at all for that matter. Very disappointed as this sink was everything I had been looking for otherwise.

Should have purchased the other brand I was looking at.

I had this installed professionally. Within a month there were scratches on it. To replace it would not work as my contractor said that a sink rarely comes out clean and does not destroy the granite counter or brand new cabinetry.

I followed cleaning instructions perfectly and always use the protective grate. So expensive for a sink that scratches so easily.

I just love everything about this sink. I love the rack that came with it, the square corners, the finish is really nice too. I also like that all sides are flush with the countertop. The plumber that installed it commented a few times that this is really a nice sink.

I picked this sink out and even my husband was impressed. This sink deserves even more than 5 stars.

love this sink. and the grade for the bottom protects from all the scratching. I will buy when I remodel my cabin.

Beautiful sink and perfect for laundry area.

Looks great! I love it. Shipping was quick.

This sink is solid, yet clean and contemporary looking. It was installed in an apt remodel and brings the style of the good sized kitchen to a higher level. Absolutely everyone that walks into the kitchen comments on it.

This sink looks great, but it’s kind of a pain for everyday use. It does not drain well and you end up using a lot water chasing food stuffs down the drain. The grid is clutch because this sink will scratch with regular usage.

I highly suggest avoiding the zero radius sinks. It does look nice, especially paired with the Sellette Pull Down Faucet.

If you are installing into a new countertop there is no problem. There is information available as to width, length and depth. There seems to be no information as to the retaining channels that secure the sink to the countertop.

In my case I was replacing a similar sized sink. The channels on the new sink were a little over two inches longer than the old sink. A good bit more time and sawdust just to fit the same size sink to the opening.

Other than standard dimensions, none of the brands seem to publish information on lock channels or flange size.

Overall I’m happy with it. Will update if I have issues with use over time. Seems sturdy looks great. When installing in butcher block countertop, was somewhat easy but I admit that the clamps that came with it are flimsy and bend easy.

There is not much room for error when measuring and cutting (5/16) or roughly 1/3” so be careful. The clamps are my main complaint and the sink did have a side that was a bit warped that took some pressure to flatten out.

Happy with it for the price compared to others that are 30$ more.

I just installed the sink and it looks great! It had some black smudges on it but Barkeepers Friend made it look amazing. My biggest complaint is with the clasps. The groove in the screws is not deep enough and it is very difficult to get the screwdriver to stay put.

This made it very difficult to tighten the screws and to get the sink flush with the counter top (which we did not exactly achieve). I might have liked it to be 8 inches rather than 9 but I wanted the 18 gauge so I got the deeper sink.

It will definitely fit a lot in there! We did have to do a very small amount of cutting to get it to drop in but that was expected. All in all, looks great and I’m happy with my purchase.

My client was looking for a single basin stainless steel sink that had a low profile edge. Her modest kitchen remodel budget called for laminate countertops so an undercount sink was out of the question.

We found this sink on Build. com that was within budget. Since it does not include a strainer basket, probably under the assumption that with the single basin a garbage disposal negates the need for a strainer, you will need to factor the cost of a strainer in for comparison purposes.

And when you do order a strainer, be certain to choose one with metal threads and nut assembly as opposed to the cheap plastic ones that cannot be tightened without busting the threads. Of course, if you are installing a garbage disposal, the strainer basket is not necessary.

Overall this is a nice quality sink for the price. Many reviews make reference to it being easily “scratched” which makes me laugh because, come on folks, it is a metal sink. Someone who wants a kitchen sink that doesn’t scratch probably owns a pick-up truck and won’t haul anything because it might get the bed dirty.

There are some things to consider about this particular sink before you make your decision. First, the profile is about 3/32″ on the edge so if you are thinking you will be able to wipe water from the counter directly into the sink, that is not going to happen very easily.

Second, as many other reviews indicate, it takes some professional “encouragement” to make sure the sink sits flush to the countertop. It is best to dry-fit the sink with the fasteners to see whether the fasteners can pull it down.

In my case, I had to adjust the location of the fasteners as well as put the sink under clamps before final installation to straighten it out. When all was said and done, it settled down and most importantly, my customer was pleased with the result.

I was not pleased with the product. It left scratches on the bottom of the sink and rusting when I lerft a can of vegetables on the edge. The can left a stain. They did come out with a lot of elbow grease.

The scratches did not come out. I removed sink and returned. It also made noise after turning off faucet which annoyed me much! I do not recommend this sink! to anyone.

PROS: I love the shape of the sink, curved bottom corners make cleaning easy and no place for debris and gook to accumulate. It is surprisingly quiet & solid when dishes/pans are tossed around. I had my doubts when I saw the thin strips of padding on the outside.

CONS: The metal is more prone to water stains, I’m guessing because of the gauge of the Stainless Steel. My last stainless steel sink wasn’t this sensitive.

This sink is the best! It is very big but with the smaller side you don’t have to feel like you’re wasting a ton of water if you want to fill part. With the low divider you can fit huge pans without them hanging out over the counter.

I love the rack in the bottom. I only keep it in the big side and it is great if you want to put something on it to drain for a bit. I haven’t had an issue with it getting gunky like some people have said.

I just spray the sink out pretty regularly and take it up to clean under occasionally.

This one’s an impulse buy. The sink is incredibly well made. I’d say, commercial kitchen quality. Very deep, so some people might not like it. I bought it last year and it’s waiting in the garage. We’re just now doing our kitchen refresher, so will finally install it.

For heavy use ( which we’ll give it,) it will be great. Fine quality. I’m going to have my contractor make a fitted top for one side that I can use for counter/prep space while entertaining.

As with other purchases from Houzz, this transaction went smoothly. I researched a long time before purchasing this sink. I was unsure of a double or single bowl. This 60/40 sink looks to have the best of both worlds.

The sink arrived quickly and in excellent condition. We have opened the box to look at the sink, but have not installed it yet. It looks beautiful and I am looking forward to installing it as part of our kitchen reno.

I got this simple sink to use in one of my rentals. i was looking for inexpensive and fair quality as tenant can be hard on things. I don’t buy the most expensive because they are likely to damage it and waste my money.

This seems like nice quality and I wouldn’t hesitate to use it in my own home if needed. It feels and looks just as good as any stainless sink you may see in an average home. I’d buy it again in a second.

I decided to replace the existing sink in connection with the installation of a new faucet, mainly because there is not much choice available in kitchen faucets that would match an older model, white porcelain sink.

I chose this one based on price, heavy gage, appearance, customer reviews and most importantly, its dimensions were exactly those of my old sink. I hired a plumber to install it even though it looked like all I was facing was a simple wrench job.

It was a good thing I did since despite the same measurements, it did not quite fit the existing opening in the counter. That’s where the plumber’s expertise out shown my amateur DIY skills. The replacement faucet is an “Artic” stainless steel Delta unit; it goes well with the sink.

While I have no concerns with the sink, I can’t imagine rating such an uncomplicated product any better than four stars.

The sink is big, beautiful and very utilitarian — holds a ton. Would give it 5 stars if the water spots weren’t so hard to remove. Seems I just can’t wipe the sink down with a dish towel after use — I must use stainless steel cleaner.

Because the sink is so big, the water spots are really noticable. Because the sink is so beautiful, I don’t want to look at water spots. So there’s a whole lotta cleaning going on with my new sink. I also got the sink mat to protect the sink from dents and scratches, and guess what? The feet of the mat scratched the sink! Go figure.

In terms of size and utility, though, the sink is perfect.

Great heavy sinkwe use these in all the new houses we build. I am buying another now for a butler pantry as well! So well made.

We really like the sink. It is wide and deep enough that you don’t feel cramped while doing the dishes and can pile a lot of dishes before you get to a point where you have to do the dishes! It is quite sturdy and have had no issues so far in the 6 months we have owned so far.

Will definitely update my review if it goes downhill but if I don’t, that means it’s going strong!.

We bought this and it was a great start for the upgrades in the kitchen. This sink is solid and spacious. It’s great for big pots and pans & not having the divider taking up space there is a lot of surface area.

We bought a squeegee and it hangs down one wall on a suction cup. I would definitely recommend this sink especially to any current or former restaurant people.

Love this sink! It’s huge, so big that I could sit in it cross legged (I’m 5’4”). It looks so sleek and is great quality, and its nice and deep so water doesn’t spray up on you as easily while you’re doing dishes.

It did scratch pretty easily but that’s just stainless steel, and it doesn’t look horrible with the little scratches.
