KRAUS Bellucci 30-Inch Undermount Workstation Granite Kitchen Sink in White with Accessories - Perfect for Modern Kitchens, Food Prep & Dishwashing | Model KGUW1-30WH

First off, let me say that my wife and I were nervous about ordering a sink for our new island from a brand we'd never heard of off of Amazon. But in building our dream kitchen island, we wanted to make sure we weren't missing any new trends or useful innovations. Amazon gave us a wide variety of sinks with a lot of bells and whistles. We were close to buying one with an LED display and a lighted waterfall. But KRAUS kept coming up in our research both on and off the site, so we pulled the trigger.That was one year ago. I have found very few things wrong with this sink since.We were concerned our hard water would leave visible stains against the black surface if we didn't keep cleaning it. Not true. The water drains and/or dries and the surface is stain free. We were concerned the lipped rim for the cutting board and drying rack was a gimmick we'd never use. Not true. We use it constantly.All in all, you won't be disappointed if you're looking for a huge drop in sink that will make a subtle statement in your kitchen.Cons? The only cons MIGHT be the rubbery surface of the drying rack. That does tend to hold water stains, but a quick scrub with a sponge takes them right off. I would also add that we don't use the cutting board as much as we used to, because it is pretty big to leave in at all times if you have a tendency to load up dirty dishes there. We do use the drying rack all the time because you can fold it on itself or roll it up.Another minor con - and I'm not sure it's any different from any other single-basin sink - is that the angle toward the drain is very gradual. It does take some effort to get food on the far end to go down to the disposal side. To solve this, we bought one of those mushroom-shaped disposal plugs that doubles as a way to stuff food down the disposal. (I also can't believe I've gone decades living in homes with disposals without buying one of those sooner, by the way)If you're on the fence because of the name brand, don't be - KRAUS makes a grade A product.
