Ruvati 32-inch Low-Divide Undermount Tight Radius 50/50 Double Bowl 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink - RVH7411

We were replacing our countertops and wanted a new sink, too. I didn't know anything about sinks but we wanted something nice. There's really no option to purchase a sink other than on-line so reviews are critical. I spent several hours pouring over websites until I found this Ruvati. The unique design is not only very practical but it's also beautiful! I love the shallow divider, and the extra deep bowls. It's very large and able to accommodate your biggest pots and pans with ease. This is an 18 gauge sink so it's heavy but it mounted easily. I know some people complained about water spots but I just wipe mine dry and it looks great! We couldn't view the sink before the install because of the way it was packaged but we couldn't have been more pleased when we finally saw it! Both the countertop guy and the plumber commented on how nice it is! Our new quartz countertops are gorgeous but this Ruvati sink really takes our kitchen to the level. We absolutely recommend!

Beautiful sink! I bought this 16 guage stainless sink to go with my new quartzite island countertop. I wanted to have the lower center divide, have a 40/60 divide (you get 3 options 50/50, 60/40, and 40/60, )match my other stainless appliances, have a 33" sink, have a 16 guage sink (the lower the number the stronger it is), lots of soundproofing, straight sides with rounded corners for easier cleaning, and matching sink grids. I had read a lot of reviews that had various complaints about different sinks-- that it arriving damaged, the bottom was so flat it wouldn't drain, and it spotted easily, etc. I read the discription of this sink and it sounded like what I was looking for. I then went to the Ruvati sight and throughly read the description and this model checked off all my list. I am not disappointed. It arrived extremely well packaged with molded styrofoam with the sink in its own cloth bag, the grids in individual boxes, the sink strainers in their own boxes and the sink clips for installation included in their own box. It was in perfect condition and I loved the stainless color. It was installed with no problems. It is a beautiful sink and very functional. I am very happy with my purchase. Very reasonably priced too.

All the neighbors love the size. Very sturdy. Love the center bar.

This sink is stunning! Just installed 3 days ago, but I love it. The best feature is the low divide. Best of both worlds, it looks like one large sink from across the kitchen until you get close. The grates to prevent scratches are very heavy duty, and fit each side perfectly, with rubber feet and bumpers. So far I'm very pleased with my purchase

We have waited about 2 months from installation to make this review so that we could comment on the sink as-delivered and after installation and use.We were in the middle of a kitchen reno when we discovered that the sink that we were just about to order through the countertop designer/seller would not fit our sink cabinet despite his prior assurances to the contrary. Our first option was to buy a different sink from the countertop seller's limited supply of sinks (none of which we wanted or we would have picked one of those previously). Next choice was to buy a sink from the Big Box Store from which we ordered our cabinets, but their designer for our project (of whom we thought very highly) was not able to find a sink that would fit our cabinet, meet our product requirements and be deliverable on short notice. Our absolute last choice was to order through Amazon--not because Amazon did not have selection, speedy delivery and good prices, but simply because we were terrified that if the sink of our choice arrived damaged (a frequent complaint of Amazon reviewers across many sink brands), we would be stuck with no sink, a fight to get a replacement and a kitchen contractor cooling his heels.Because we were out of options we went with "order through Amazon." We read a lot of reviews before selecting the Ruvati 30 inch Low Divide Undermount Tight Radius 50/50 Double Bowl 16 Gauge sink. We crossed our fingers that it would fit in our sink base cabinet, and placed the order.The order arrived promptly. The Ruvati packaging was outstanding--thick styrofoam all around the sink, which itself was in a plastic bag. Good thing about the packing because the delivery company literally dropped the (large, heavy) box off in front of our garage, wrong side down (the box was clearly marked "not" to put that side down) and with a chunk of the very Ruvati substantial box itself torn open. 5 stars for Ruvati packaging, zero stars for whichever carrier got picked to do the delivery.In terms of appearance right out of the box the sink looks really shiny and nice. It even comes with the drain assembly (the plumbing contractor was surprised), strainers and those insert "trays" that you use to keep pots off the sink floor to avoid scratching--some places charge extra for all this, but Ruvati included it in the price. 5 stars for this.The price of $299 was very, very reasonable. 5 stars.We wanted all this: 16 gauge (not 18g) stainless--who knew THAT would be so hard to find in a sink of the size/shape we wanted; Double basins of equal size and as big as possible interior dimensions; Corners of the basins with a more "squared-off" shape rather than the rounded of our prior sink, but not the super-sharp corners of many modern sink basins (too hard to clean); Relatively deep basins, with both the same depth; Low center divider so that we could pretend that we had one nice, large-ish sink when we needed to wash long cookie sheets and other trays, but two sinks when we wanted the soapy stuff on 1 side and the rinsed stuff on the other, and so that water from the faucet wouldn't hit the center divider and splash up (as it does with the older sinks). With the Ruvati we got all this. 5 stars out of the box and as installed.After some use we rated the sink 4 stars for "easy to clean" simply because the shiny stainless tends to dull-up and show watermarks with use, even after wiping it dry. It is disappointing that this happened almost immediately after first use. We really liked that shiny-out of the box look of the sink and we can't get back to that. Not a deal breaker--we would order the sink again even knowing this, but 4 stars instead of 5 for that feature.The real reason that we took off a star from the overall rating is for the design of the strainer feature. To be fair, it is clearly shown and described in the Ruvati info. However, some designs are pretty, but not practical and this is one of those. There is no reason that this beautiful sink cannot be designed with a conventional one piece strainer-plug combo instead of a separate strainer and strainer basket with lid/plug. If you lose the lid to the strainer basket you also lose the ability to plug the sink! Not a great ourcome. We dropped the overall rating to 4 stars as a result. We really like this sink and would probably buy it again knowing this design issue, but we would definitely first look around to see if another manufacturer made a very similar sink with an integrated strainer/plug. However, if you live in a house with young children or others who might walk off with or misplace the strainer lid, think hard about whether this feature works for you.We might try to buy a few extra baskets AND lids, just to be safe.The reason that we gave the sink 4 stars instead of 5 overall

We did whole gut job and used this in the kitchen. Very nicely designed and strong. We love it.
