KRAUS Kore 32-Inch Undermount Workstation 16 Gauge Single Bowl Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink with Accessories, KWU110-32

In process of getting the sink installed
Overall there is nothing not to like about the sink and the really neat accessories.However, the cutting boards are all bamboo, a yellow bamboo. The advertising pamphlet that came with the sink and some of the videos and even the online pictures show other woods, maybe acacia, being used for the cutting board material and I would have rather had those. I’m considering modifying better looking cutting boards with my router, sander and table saw to get that look. If given an option, I would have chosen the accessories in the other wood and paid more. Bamboo looks cheap and delaminates easily.The sink doesn’t take up my whole 48″ base cabinet, it’s lip is the 45″ measurement and the sink itself is 43ish inches.It’s still huge and worth considering getting 2 faucets which feels overly opulent.I’m using kraus faucet as seen in the video and an RO faucet, I’m on the fence about adding a second. I have the extendable spray head but it doesn’t reach the very corners physically, though the spray pattern with good water pressure would. I just don’t have great water pressure with my well system.I am going to ask the countertop installers to mount the sink with more angle, potentially swimming it another 16th of and inch down on the drain side and sanding down the plywood base under the countertop. This would enhance the drainage on the slope.I believe a reviewer with poor drainage may have had a countertop install or mounting of this sink with the wrong slope, mitigating the built in angle of slope in the sink.I will update with photos when it is installed. I’ve never had such an enormous sink. I can’t wait to do my prep work in the sink area and save the spillage and the debris from my surrounding counters.This sink will be used to facilitate large canning projects, processing large volumes of citrus for juice and day to day baking and cooking, and of course washing dishes, especially large pots.Update:Sink installed.The water doesn’t drain as another reviewer mentioned.not enough contour and negative contour result in large pockets of water standing and consequently leaving waters pots as evaporation in my dry climate occur.We have waited the customary 24 hours before installing and the counters are pretty level, a 1/16 over 30 inch expanse in drop from back of counters to front does exist.We will be adding a 13lb garbage disposal soon and I am hoping this assists in drainage, especially from the right front corner. Where water just sits.I’ll be using rain X to hopefully assist with water beading and cleanup.Looks like I need a shower squeegee to clean this 1000 sink (with tax).I will suggest you get with your countertop installers and you slightly shim your sink and check the level to assist with drainage I may be able to add extra support to my sink front and level out the 1/16 of an inch. This pool of standing water in the front of the sink is ridiculous.Overall, it’s a very cool, grand statement sink that you can bathe 2 year old twins within, but it doesn’t drain well even though it is contoured and sloped.Update: now the sink is fully functioning. Has the disposal installed: which means you don’t get to use their nice deep drain that is included and fits their cap and drain basket, and the water and the food particulate definitely pools over 1/8″ in the front right corner vs going into the drain.So you must have an extending spray nozzle to clean that all up. The pooling issues and the reluctant drainage has prompted me to buy a squeegee. I now have a squeegee in my sink, suctioned onto the side and I wash dishes etc then squeegee the puddles into the drain. Definitely what I was hoping for, but I am enjoying having all the room for things to drain into the sink at the other end. So, you will lose the convenience of a sink that drains well and gain the convenience of a chopping surface and a drying rack and a Hollander etc that all drain into the sink instead of onto your counters.Make sure you have your stainless steel cleaner and you have your spot remover. It’s going to be a lot more cleaning with this sink. I’m considering rainX to deflect some droplets.

Nice work station
We really like the sink. We use the drying rack all the time. It is always up on the sink. I think the corners of the sink can be a little hard to clean. They seem to look a little rusty at times, but taking a rag to the area and cleaning it will wipe it right out. It is nice and big and that is nice. I love that it is undermount, which makes cleaning the counters easier. The cutting board is nice and leaves less mess. It is great for cutting up watermelon especially. Overall, it is a very nice and useful sink. Cleaning it can be a little annoying, but everything requires cleaning which can be annoying. It is great and I would recommend it.

After a year of use.
This sink is beautiful.The stainless steel is thick and stands up to everyday use.The cutting board is bamboo and very useful.The deep single bowl design means cleaning large pans pots is easier. My wife doesn’t like it, but I ‘won’ out with ‘the person doing the cleaning…’I still like the fact that I can fit pans in the sink while I clean them.Tips:Keep the sink clean and don’t let water stand in it for prolonged time if you have hard water.Clean with vinegar to remove any calcium or lime built up from the corners.Use stainless steel cleaner and polish for that just installed look. Even after a year.Cutting board:It is well made, bamboo and very used in my kitchen.Treat with a food grade wood wax and your good to go. Reapply the wax every month or so based on your usage and preferences.I use a bees wax for all my cutting boards.Cons:The sink has a curve in the corners that make cleaning easier however not all transitions were considered for that. The result is cleaning required a brush to get into the 90° corners, I use a modified firm toothbrush for this.The cutting board has a fluid channel that runs the perimeter and a drain to allow liquid to disperse from the board. Make sure that the channel and drain are waxed as well. Doing so will seal the exposed end grain that will wick fluid and cause headaches later if not addressed.Scratches in the sink are not eliminated but reduced greatly by the basin bottom rack.It is stainless steel and very sturdy.It functions well and provides adequate protection for the bottom of the sink.Con: it needs cleaning after each use. Doing so will prevent oder from trapped food or just clinging food. A quick brush with a cleansing brush and you will fine. Once a month fill the sink to just over the top of the rack and toss in a cup of vinegar.Let that sit for an hour and then your back to that new rack luster.Over all the Kraus line is fantastic.This is our second Kraus sink.Our first was bought to sell our old house, this one for our new home with a complete rework of the kitchen.Installation :I installed our first Kraus sink in our old house.The process was a replacementfor an undermount.The old sink was very stubborn and took some convincing. Let’s just say the swear jar filled up.The install was a lot easier.This new sink install was a breeze. I had no difficulty with letting the countertop company install undermounted to granite..I know this review was long, I thank you for the time you spent reading it. I hope this helps in your decision.

The sink arrived in great shape, the box was damaged but nothing damaged on the sink. It was an amazon warehouse damaged box purchase for $150 less than a new one.Weve had the sink installed for about a month now, the sink itself seems very durable and fairly easy to clean.The accessories appeared great at first site but the next day we noticed a strong odor from the sink. We thought it was from the drain but turned out to be the cutting board. It smelled like manure, we didnt even use the board yet only washed it after unpackaging as it had a sort of packaging smell (it was in a sealed plastic wrap). We tried washing it again with lemon and baking soda but the smell only seemed to get worse, we had to put the board outside as we couldnt tolerate that smell in the new kitchen.We contacted kraus and asked if this is normal or what they recommend, they offered to ship a new cutting board under warranty. While waiting for the new cutting board to arrive we noticed the black PVD finish peeling off on the drain strainer, we wiped the sink with a soft sponge and warm water/dish soap after every heavy use…even with gentle washing the finish came off…we suspected it wasnt coated in the same manner as the sink itself as the finish on the sink hasnt even shown a scratch as of yet let alone peel off. When reaching out to Kraus again to ask about the drain assembly issue and to ask if its a different coating process than the sink they were reluctant to help out, then they stated that the sink was an amazon warehouse purchase and as such they would no longer honor the warranty. The sink was registered with kraus.com for their warranty when we installed it (as indicated with the documentation that came with the sink). We were surprised that they refused to honor the warranty after they already accepted the item through the product registration and they accepted to warranty the cutting board. We didnt bother pursuing it with kraus and instead contacted amazon directly.Amazon was very helpful they offered a discount if we kept the sink which was enough to cover the cost for another drain assembly (its too much trouble to have the sink removed and returned).Once we recieved the new cutting board (acacia wood, we opened it and smelled it before washing and it had the similar odor, like a barn/manure…that new cutting board went straight outside…we are looking to purchase a different brand cutting board that fits the workstation, we wont purchase any other wood product from Kraus.The sink so far has been great otherwise only slight issue which is expected is the accessory rails have worn slightly from moving the drying rack on it (the roll out drying rack is great).Aside from the slight issues with the accessories and the poor service from Kraus we like the sink and we are very pleased withbthe service recieved from amazon.

Great size to fit all my large baking trays and oven shelves. I love it!

Best thing ever
