Just went through this decision for a kitchen and laundry room remodel. I purchased a large deep single bowl Kraus stainless steel sink for my kitchen and a deep more square single bowl Ruvati stainless for my laundry room. I am very pleased with both. Both came with a grid for the bottom and the Ruvati also has a basket strainer. Great value and the quality seems excellent to me. For reference/comparison--I purchased a Franke stainless sink for my first home remodel, my second home I used Elkay, my third home I used Elkay stainless and Shaw farm house sinks. All of those much pricier than the Kraus and Ruvati and I frankly don't see any quality difference and am super happy to have the extra budget money to spend on backsplash marble tile.

dimaorapdx -------just curious what size kitchen sink you got and how deep? thank you

Kraus makes nice sinks.

salonva--It was listed as the 30" but is undermount so after install, the actual sink inside area is 28" long, 16" wide and 10" deep. With an inch of counter above it, the depth is more like 11".

This same question came up a couple of weeks ago, and that post received a lot of responses:

Thread called OMG help please on best sink brand

Big fan of Delta as an alternative to Kohler. Seems unintuitive but it's true.

Appreciate the feedback! @dimorapdx, I really appreciate all the comparisons and @Joseph Corlett, LLC, I appreciate your comments as well as I've seen your posts on many other threads and have read of your experience. So, I contacted Ruvati, USA, and they sell both Ruvati and Kraus. They suggested I'd like the Ruvati but that I buy both (the Ruvati and Kraus) in similar models, and return the one I don't want (I'd contacted them for a stainless sample and they didn't have any at this time). So, are they the same company? Kraus over Ruvati or just pick one and move on with my life?! :) I'm headed over to that OMG thread now for more info (and therapy)! :)

I'm a Franke fan. Have 2 of them in my kitchen, and they are very high quality--sturdy and nice finish. They also have heavy duty grates.

Lots of pros in bad moods lately.

build.com has lots of stainless steel sinks with pictures and reviews. Good search engine for narrowing down type, size, other requirements.

Really does come to price point with most models/brands

Can anyone comment on a Rohl sink?

Don't hijack someone else's thread, inshasta.

Jeez, it's 2019; doesn't everyone know that?

As stated above, Franke makes terrific sinks. Have had mine almost four years now. The corners have rounded cutouts so it’s easy to chase bits of food, into the drain. Mine has an offset center drain, meaning it’s in the center rear of the sink, so large pots or pans don’t cover it.

With any stainless sink, I recommend getting a stainless rack, which will help avoid scratching, and raises the dirty dishes, and allows the water to drain. Most have racks that are made for a particular sink. I got my Franke grid on Amazon.

Yes, to the grids--Franke grids are awesome--very heavy and sturdy.

Kraus sinks come with the grid. I've never had a grid before. Tried it, don't care for it, it's in the garage now.

Tatts - relax, I mean, c'mon.

Re grids - not what the most recent poster asked, but some people love a sink grid and some people don't. It's personal preference and no right or wrong answer. Me, I find it one more thing to clean so I don't have one.
