Comments (12)In the "small world" department, I did a countertop consulting job for the president of the company who manufacturers these mailboxes displayed at the show: My wife is on the board of our 26-home HOA and we're going to be buying replacements soon. The sink at the Neolith display is attached with polyester on a wood shim bridging the sink flange and the reinforced bottom. This drives me nuts; I repair this detail constantly. Fabricators who peek may mistakenly believe this is proper. It is not. And at the risk of sounding too picky, they didn't abrade the mesh off the bottom of the negative sink reveal and you could feel it when you ran your finger around it. Displays should be perfect. You don't see this everyday:...See MoreStainless sink and thermal expansion "popping"
Comments (23)My daughter is having the same problem with her new stainless steel sink. It has the drain in the middle back end and is not the rounded style. Whenever you drain pasta water it makes a loud pop. She has had a plumber out twice to repair as the pop causes the drain pipe to leak. She has water damage under her sink as she wasn't aware this was happening till the damage was done. Personally I think the gauge of this metal sink is the problem as I have a stainless steel sink and have been dumping pasta water in mine for years without issue....See MoreInduction cooktops - Miele flush mount vs Thermador Freedom?
Comments (142)Thank you, thanks to the Covid I was able to be onsite every day during the remodel. It was the most fun I have had in a long time and our contractor was amazing, I even DIY’d a central vacuum system since we brought the entire house down to the studs (taking pictures the entire way...which i would highly recommend to anyone as we were able to locate things, verify subs work, plus prove to inspector items were according to code that were now hidden). anyway, that’s off topic to your question. We gravitate toward peace and quiet and find the fan noise loud; part of the annoyance is the pitch is high so best way I can describe it would be: it’s similar to a leaf blower in pitch/tone with volume level slightly below lowest level of a range hood. And the hotter your oven cooking temperature the longer it remains running to cool down, I haven’t actually timed how long it stays on, but as an example if we bake something at 350 the fan runs for probably 15-20min after shutting down. It doesn’t help that our ovens face the dining room and with an open concept kitchen/living and just cased openings to the dining the sound echos a lot so we are considering options such as acoustic panels (https://www.acoustimac.com/acousticart). This is our first foray into high end appliances and had no idea the ovens had this “feature” so it was a bit disappointing when everything else is so nice...but our food comes out so much better and if you run the vent hood motor on medium or high setting it would totally drown out the oven fan, so there’s that solution i suppose, lol! Seriously, though, if we ever do another house I would seriously consider creating an oven alcove that helps reduce the noise and the direction it is thrown. another interesting discovery is there is a secondary fan that runs 24/7 (at least I assume as I have never not felt it running) that you can not hear and only barely feel a breeze when right up against the oven (comes out just between the upper oven and the control panel). It is cool air so it appears Thermador is vigilant about keeping the electronics from over heating even when off. finally, i forgot to mention how interesting the fridge/freezer column are in that you never hear the compressor kick on like a “run of the mill” fridge, just a fan kicks on very infrequently and only for about 30 seconds then quiet...oh and the ice cubes, love the pyramid shaped cubes and the fact they don’t stick/melt together (unless power goes out), but unfortunately almost an entire drawer is gobbled up by the bucket being centrally located and scoop off to one side for easy retrieval...but again we only have the 18” freezer column....See MoreBlack stainless sinks
Comments (5)@Stephen Teresi - if you want a black sink, I recommend the Blanco Silgranit in the anthracite or coal black color. In particular I like the BlancoDiamond Super Single with the advantageous corner offset drain. I liked this sink so much I had two of these in two different homes in anthracite (the Blanco coal black had not yet come out). You can call Blanco’s customer service number and request color samples be sent to you (call, don’t email)....See More

last monthSink started cracking at the edge. Top zero came out to repair, tech refused to finish saying these cannot be installed in 1/2” ket alone 1” Corian and claimed it was incorrectly installed and that Corian was too soft, the counter was too thin and he refused to touch it after starting one corner for fear of damaging out counters. We hoped he resolved the issue by putting in supports under the sink to help with vibration from the disposal. He claimed the disposal was causing it to come loose but they never gave us a real concrete straight answer as to why this was coming apart from the countertop.
Now sink is worse (see photos), it’s completely coming apart from the countertop around the perimeter of the entire sink. We asked for the owner Yavuz to meet with our countertop company at the same time to resolve for a permanent fix. It’s been weeks and will only send a tech again and wants to CHARGE US????.
I regret this costly decision as this is not what was sold to us. If this was incorrectly installed all they need to do is let us know while the countertop company is there. But because they are refusing to work with us and come out to see this mess, we can only assume it’s because they know these sinks do this as other reviews show the same issue.
By them not willing to even see this (they are miles within our home), they leave us in a situation where the countop people feel they installed it correctly. It’s a game of finger pointing and someone will be responsible for a new sink and new countertops if that’s the permanent solution.
Top Zeros ‘fix’ was not permanent. It’s not sanitary. And it cuts my arm from the sharp steel exposed now.
Someone is responsible and it’s definitely not us. Yet we are the ones a year later still dealing with this mess. As a designer I would NEVER recommend to my clients, unless I wanted enemies. This was not cheap to have installed, buyer beware.
Read ALL the negative reviews online, on Amazon, on Reddit, on Instagram. Buyer beware. Someone will be responsible for a new countertop and it won’t be us.
