What customers say
Customer sentiment for the KRAUS Standart PRO 17-inch bar sink is overwhelmingly positive, reflecting its premium construction and thoughtful design. Reviewers consistently praise the robust 16-gauge stainless steel, noting its superior resistance to dents and warping compared to standard 18- or 20-gauge alternatives. This heavy-duty quality contributes significantly to the sink’s professional feel and longevity. A major highlight is the proprietary NoiseDefend soundproofing technology; users frequently mention how quiet the sink is, even when running the garbage disposal or dropping heavy utensils, which is a critical differentiator in open-concept kitchens. The deep, single-bowl design is highly functional for a prep or bar area, providing ample space for chilling drinks or washing large pots without splashing. Furthermore, the inclusion of essential accessories, such as the protective bottom grid and basket strainer, is frequently cited as adding substantial value right out of the box, saving customers the hassle and expense of separate purchases. While a few users noted that stainless steel requires regular wiping to prevent water spots, this is viewed as a minor maintenance requirement inherent to the material, not a flaw in the product itself. Overall, customers perceive this Kraus sink as an exceptional investment, delivering luxury-grade performance and durability at a highly competitive price point, making it a top recommendation for kitchen upgrades.
Know before you buy
Yes, it is constructed from 16-gauge stainless steel, which is thicker and more dent-resistant than the standard 18 or 20-gauge steel found in many residential sinks.
Undermount sinks are designed to be installed beneath solid-surface countertops like granite, quartz, or marble. They are not suitable for laminate countertops, which lack the necessary structural support and water-resistant edges.
The sink features NoiseDefend sound-dampening pads on all sides and an undercoating that significantly reduces the metallic 'clatter' of dishes and running water, making it much quieter than an uninsulated stainless steel sink.
No, the included stainless steel bottom grid is designed with soft rubber bumpers that protect the sink's finish from scratches while keeping your glassware and dishes elevated for better drainage.
At 17 inches, this model is specifically engineered as a bar or prep sink. While it is excellent for rinsing produce or washing small items, it will likely be too compact for washing large pots, pans, or family-sized dish loads.
Yes, the kit includes the drain assembly, a removable strainer, mounting hardware, and a cut-out template to assist with the installation process.
