Ruvati33 x 22 inch Drop-in Tight Radius 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Topmount Kitchen Sink Single Bowl - RVH8005

First we LOVE THIS SINK. It is one of the nicest parts of our kitchen, it's an eye catcher in a good way. It really looks and feels like qualityBefore we purchased we read reviews and looked at a lot of customer photos before we decided on this one. We have no complaints of draining. It comes with the rack that fits the bottom of the sink which is needed. The fit and finish is great. Even the under sink area has very good sound deadening and done extremely clean and looks like what you would expect in this price range. The sink basket that come with it is also very nice and compliments the install. Even the box it is shipped in is quality, we used several parts of the crazy thing in our remodel and still use it for other things.I installed this myself on a laminate top with a back-splash. It fit but barely. They make another model that is not as wide (front-to-back) which I would suggest for this type of counter top. The reason we bought this one was due to the extra hole on the right side. As far as the holding bolts, I found them to work just fine, EXCEPT... I bent the little hook out just a bit that made it easier to install. If I had one suggestion, they do need to push that hook out.Glad we got it, We'd buy it again.

I wanted to get the largest single bowl sink possible for a 30 inch cabinet and found this one. When it arrived I was very impressed by the packaging and instructions for installation. My install was easy except this sink took up the entirety of the cabinet (awesome!) and it was hard to install clamps on the front and back to hold it down. I ended up removing the front panel off the cabinet so I could clamp it down in the front. Not difficult at all.Let me tell you, I LOVE this sink! It is super deep and I can put several different dishes in it at once to soak. I reused my old faucet and it works perfect! The sink is big enough and deep enough that the sprayer from the faucet doesn't splash water everywhere like it used to on my old sink. I am so glad I spent the money to get this sink. Its beautiful and easy to clean. My town doesn't have very good water so I was afraid it would have water spots all over it but as long as you wipe it down there is no residue left behind.

Never heard of Ruvati before but found out they are fairly new to the sink industry and based out of Texas. Based on good/great reviews, my wife and I decided to purchase one to replace our 1970's vintage harvest gold double cast iron enameled sink. The item was packaged extremely well and arrived undamaged. Documentation was well written (i'm a technical writer by trade) and easy to follow. Main reason we chose Ruvati was the 16 gauge stainless steel, the noise abatement/sound proofing used, and overall happy comments in the reviews we read.The actual installation was a challenge due to our cabinet space size and drain setup, not anything to do with the sink or Ruvati. Basically we were at or slightly below the very minimum space requirements needed to install the sink properly and things were very tight.We transferred our four year old Kohler Sous Chef semi-commercial spray faucet (best money you can ever spend on a kitchen faucet BTW) from our old sink and were able to get it up and running after some minor space related modifications and getting the drain and water connections accomplished.As for the sink, the quality of the stainless steel is outstanding, easy to keep clean, and the noise proofing means that when you drop something in the sink by mistake, someone in the opposite end of the house does not have to wear hearing protection. The sink includes the mounting clips, drain basket, and high quality in-sink full length/width dish rack which keeps dirty dishes, etc. off the bottom of the sink.The only con and it's a minor one, is we wished the sink would drain quicker. Its a tradeoff though. Faster draining would mean a steeper slope/angle in the sink and I think they probably can't do much better without affecting other things.We looked at a ton of sinks in our search and it was a hard decision but glad we went with Ruvati. Its been installed a for a month now and we love it as much today as the day we installed it.

I did a lot of research before choosing this sink and I'm pleased with results. The sink is beautiful and coming from a double sink, this is so much more user friendly. I should have made this change a long time ago. I can clean large pots without having to clean them at an angle because they were too big for the sink. It is much deeper than our other sink and there's plenty of room for dishes. The drain is easy to clean. Water seems to drain fine. I also added a soap dispenser, which is a nice feature. The sink is nicely designed and the lines angle the water toward the drain in the middle. The grid at the bottom is strong and protects the sink. With this sink, I actually don't mind cleaning dishes! Good value for the money.

Overall a great sink. Looks fantastic and works great.Couple of problems:1-it is suggested that 30” fits cabinets size 33”. I would suggest 30” fits cabinets sizes 36”. If you choose to go with only 3” bigger cabinet you might not be able to tighten the brackets. Sink is very deep, and even with my small hands it was impossible to do if all around.2- if you do not use the rack that comes with the sink it will scratch easily. Eventually it will happen, and I am ok with it. However initially I would like to prevent it from it as long as possible.Sink drains great (I am guessing if it’s leveled properly) it is heavy and fits even biggest of the pots.

Relatively easy to install as replacement for a smaller laundry sink. Only problem was that instructions say to attach clamps to underside of sink edge prior to dropping sink in counter top... this does not work... the clamps add too much width to the sink, it won't fit thru the opening. You must attach clamps to sink from underneath, which can be a bit awkward.A very good looking sink once installed, the thicker metal makes for a very solid unit.
