Ruvati 33-in Double Bowl 60/40 Undermount Workstation 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).

I highly recommend Ruvati kitchen sinks for their excellent durability and premium quality. As a cabinet installer, I have worked with many different sink brands, and Ruvati continues to stand out for its strong construction, modern design, and long-lasting performance. At Melieric Cabinetry, Ruvati is the sink we confidently recommend to our clients because it adds both beauty and reliability to any kitchen project. It is one of the best choices for homeowners looking for a durable and elegant kitchen sink.

We love this sink. We live in a 1920’s condo that does not allow garbage disposals. The sink drains have a basket that makes cleaning the sink drain very easy. Cannot say enough nice things about it. The sink exceeded our expectations.

UPDATE: I finally got the correct size and it is installed! I love the designer look of the undermount style and the depth of the sink is perfect for holding some dishes while using the drying rack and other accessories. I was worried I'd have to store the strainer basket when not in use but I leave it in the smaller side of the sink and it doesn't impede the use at all. I do keep the cutting board to the side as it's wood and I don't want it to be wet all the time but other than that, I'm very happy with my purchase. My contractor has provided incorrect dimensions twice now resulting in the wrong size sinks. Ruvati has been amazing in accepting returns/exchanges. The products have a designer feel with moderate cost. I love the under mount style and all the accessories that come with. The custom cutting board is one of my favorite features as it gives me more work space in my galley kitchen. I also love the strainer accessory and the roll out drainer. Tons of features that make my kitchen more efficient and user friendly.

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

Customer selected. Alot of accessories Went on easy Good value for the money

We've been using this sink for 4 months now, and I have to give it 5 stars. At first I thought it might be too deep, but there's plenty of room under it in a normal cabinet. the sink has sound deadening all around it, and it is quiet to use, there is no "drum-like" sound at all, unlike most sinks. Everything about this sink says quality. We looked at many others at the local high-end stores, and this is every bit of quality of much more expensive sinks. The welds are perfect, and while we were concerned that cleaning in the corners might be an issue, it really isn't..maybe it's because we bought a quality faucet to help rinse after use, but it has been easy to keep clean. the appearance after 4 months of heavy use (my wife cooks daily) is just like it was brand new. Everyone that visits compliments the look and design. The shelf for the included cutting board is a huge time saver for my wife, she uses it constantly to cut up meat and vegetables...and merely rinses it in place...no more juices and cuttings on the counter. The colander, as others have said is the only thing they could improve with a few more holes..easily fixed though. The grates are perfect. Another thing I have to compliment Ruvati is on their packaging. I've never seen such careful thought put into how they packaged for shipping.

Not only is the sink super high quality, but the strainers, cutting board, and drain guards it comes with make this buy something I will enjoy for a long time. I cook, often, and usually for a larger group. To have the utility of dipping the strainer into one of the sinks, it keeps my counter tops and bottom of my sink free of clutter. The cutting board is so underrated. One of my favorite recipes for a standing rib roast calls for smothering it with herbs and butter, to sit out an hour prior to roasting. I can leave it right on the cutting board over the sink, letting excess juices, herbs, etc. flow into the drain without ever causing a mess. Lastly, the roll out drain rack (I think that's what you call it) comes in handy when washing larger vegetables, or letting large pots and pans drain. I don't know how I lived without these items before... The most gratifying part about this sink is how beautiful it looks. I wasn't sure how the under mount sink would look in our kitchen, but it turned out to be a tremendously clean look. It is gorgeous!

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.

Deep and practical

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.
