What customers say
The Kraus 33" Drop-In/Undermount Granite 60/40 Double Bowl Kitchen Sink in Black garners overwhelmingly positive customer sentiment, positioning it as a premium, high-value upgrade over traditional stainless steel options. Customers consistently praise the sink's stunning aesthetic appeal, noting that the deep, rich black color and matte finish instantly elevate the look of their kitchen. The granite composite material is frequently highlighted for its exceptional durability and resistance to scratching, chipping, and staining, leading many users to describe it as a "workhorse" that maintains its pristine appearance even under heavy daily use. A significant point of satisfaction is the noise reduction; unlike metal sinks, the Kraus composite material absorbs sound effectively, contributing to a quieter kitchen environment. The 60/40 split configuration is highly functional, providing a large basin for pots and pans while reserving a smaller side for prep or disposal use. Installation is generally reported as straightforward, whether mounted as a drop-in or undermount, though some users recommend professional assistance due to the sink's substantial weight. While the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, a few minor critiques exist, primarily concerning maintenance: like all dark sinks, mineral deposits or water spots can be visible, requiring occasional wiping to maintain the flawless black finish. However, these minor upkeep requirements do not detract significantly from the overall perception that this Kraus sink offers outstanding quality and sophisticated design at a highly competitive price point.
