Great Sink!

Great quality

This sink is so big! This is the second kitchenette I have used this in. Due to small kitchen space, I had to use a 24" cabinet for the sink. I couldn't afford to give any drawer storage space up. This is the only sink I could find for a reasonable price that gave me the sink space I wanted in a 24" cabinet. Website says it needs a 25" cabinet and you can see there's little room on each side in one of my pictures it fits without modifying the cabinet.

Overall this sink has been a great addition to our remodeled kitchen. I was reluctant to get a single bowl sink after having had a double bowl sink for over 40 years, but it has worked out well. We have a very limited space for a sink and transitioning from a double bowl white corian sink this this stainless steel one has been great! Yes, stainless steel gets water spots, but it is a sink and is used so often in my house that I just deal with some spots. If I want it to shine, it just takes a little Bar Keepers Friend (or baking soda) and a microfiber cloth. The one thing that I don't love it that the rubber stoppers on the rack in the sink seem to mold very fast. It takes a lot of scrubbing to get those clean. I'm not sure if there is a better material that could be used, but that would be my suggestion for imporvement, something that wouldn't mold in such a short time.

I like everything about this sink. It was purchased to replace a double bowl after my husband repeatedly said he wanted a a big sink. Initially I bought its 32” big sister with all the accessories; the 19” width didn’t fit. The 30x18” is exactly like the larger but without the drain rack, cutting board and colander. I don’t need another cutting board, wasn’t sure I would use the colander and found a similar rack on Amazon for less than $15. The 32”‘requires leaving a 1/4” lip around the edge to use 2 of the accessories. The 30” without accessories allowed the granite to extend over the sink to simply sweep crumbs or water into it.I really like the drain cover, it allows water to drain while covering the drain/garbage disposal, but not allowing small items or flatware to slip in. It’s easily set aside to use the disposal. A black stopper is provided to keep water in the sink.A rack comes with the sink to raise items off the sink bottom. I removed ut to scrub the sink. Cleaning is easy, I use dish detergent and a scrub pad, rinse and done.I priced sinks at the big box stores, finding Ruvati to be comparable priced. Researching the web, it was listed as one of the top two brands. 16 gauge stainless steel is better insulated, so less noise while washing and water should stay hot longer.6-month update: I still love the sink. Early this month I removed the rack/grid so I could scrub the sink more often. Being a single bowl, crumbs and food particulars always seemed to collect and stick to sink and/or the grid. I didn’t feel like the grid was clean even after scrubbing it.

Yes. It's a sink. We all need one in a functional kitchen. But, as far as sinks go, this one is different and special.It arrived on schedule, in a sturdy box, encased in styrofoam. I'm not sure how any of these could be damaged in shipping. I ordered the 30" wide RVH7300. Upon unboxing, I was immediately impressed. All the accessories were individually boxed and the sink itself was inside a protective "sock" of sorts. Very, very nice.First inspection revealed an beautifully finished, extremely sturdy/rigid piece. This thing is built like a stainless steel tank. This 16ga sink is no joke. I checked out an 18ga Kohler and the thickness and quality of the Ruvati rivaled the Kohler easily. When I dropped it into my sink base, it immediately added structural rigidity.I installed (well, my stone guys did) the sink in an Ikea 30" sink base. Yes, a 30" sink in a 30" base. IT CAN AND WAS DONE!! With the sound dampening on the sides, the sink barely fit. There's probably only a 1/16" of an inch of clearance total. When they came to measure the cabinets for install of the tops, it was decided to simply allow the sink to rest on the cabinet base, measure extraordinarily carefully and then drop the top onto it, expoxying it all together. That's exactly what happened and it turned out perfect. They ran an additional silicone bead around the inside lip to further seal the sink to the tops. I'll upload pics of the fit and the finished product soon.Just a week's use so far. But, it's been everything I could have hoped for in a giant single bowl stainless sink you could wash your child/dag/whatever in. The thickness of the stainless, combined with the sound dampening material means you hear the water coming out of the faucet more than you hear it hitting the floor of the sink. The sink wipes and cleans easily and drains well. Again, I know it's just a sink, but this thing makes me happy every time I use it. I paired it with a Kraus Sellete faucet. It's a proportional and gorgeous combination. The only sink I'd consider buying should the need arise again!
