Ruvati Sink 1 Year Review 

im going on 3 months with this sink....i absolutely loveeeeeeee it! thank you for your first video which made me buy it. i use the accessories as decor once kitchen is clean....make it look absolutely stunning!!!

The Colander can very easily be modified to drain efficiently by drilling a few strategically placed holes in the bottom. Super easy to do.

Thank you for such a real life, in depth video to show us what the day to day use is like 👍

Joe, that looks like a nice sink man. Nice job on going to the extra mile for support and finishing the project. I've got a lot of half done stuff so good on you.

Thanks for your video. I have my Ruvita 45” single bowl for 2 + years. Great to work in/on that large a workstation sink. So helpful to do a job like slicing meat or a cooked turkey on a cutting board that drains directly into the bowl. My sink came with the roller drying rack (used constantly) a large and small strainer tub( used frequently but mine have many more holes so they work well) and two wooden cutting boards. Both boards came badly warped. Their replacements came warped. I asked for another roll up rack instead but Ruvita refused. Found a not wooden cutting board that fits the ledge and use that, not the wood one. Getting some discoloring on the bottom. Worn scratched spots where feet from the bottom rack rub on the bottom. Ledges around the sink collect shumutz but they work well to hold the rack, cutting board and strainer. I have a disposal. Because the drain is positioned to one side, I’ve not had many silverware pieces find their way there as with a center drain and allows more usable space below since disposal sits to one side. My sink was installed incorrectly as yours was. There should have been a quarter inch reveal on front and back inside sink counter to allow that top ledge in an under-mount sink to be used for holding slightly larger cutting boards or strainers but my granite fabricators failed to do that. Would have been nice to be able to have cutting board more securely sit above strainer and slide over it as per instillation instructions. Also would have made it less likely that the front inside sink counter would be chipped. My suggestion is to get the largest single bowl sink you are able to fit and make it a workstation sink with a side drain, installed so there are two ledges to use. I’ve used the space below with a roll out for the stand mixed and multi roll out shelves for storage. Because the depth of the sink is considerable, the garbage pull out is next to and not under the sink. A knee activated pop out mechanisms from IKEA is great for the garbage allowing you to use the pail without touching it with dirty hand. Huge workstation single bowl sinks are a game changer.

is interesting hearing opinions in a daily REAL use, after some time using it and not the promo video where is is all perfect, thanks men!

Good looking sink & very functional with the accessories. I hope I can get it shipped to Australia to go into my new build. Thanks for great review. Cheers! From Down Under. 👌👍👊

We replaced an old drop in cast iron double sink .... with a deeper, single. under mount .... and LOVE the change. I think most people simply live with what ever sink is in their home when they move in.... so it never really occurs to people that they might enjoy an alternative. And then, if they do replace the counters... they still focus on the counter top. With out giving much thought about changing the sink configuration. But, if you think about it... the sink is a part of your kitchen that is most intensively used

Great video! Very detailed and practical It sold me on this sink and model. Thank you.

Lowes & Home Depot carry 16ga big sinks like this now (maybe not the case 3 years ago). I will be installing a Kraus 33" workstation sink this weekend. Thank you for the tip about the using the drying rack for a workspace. Totally makes sense; I can see myself cutting up smoked whole chickens on a small chopping block over the rack. thanks for posting

Awesome review, Thank you! This will definitely help in making my choice!

I got the smaller ruvati sink for fitting a 24" cabinet in 2019. Deepest sink I could find on that sink width. my strainer has lots of holes, and I use it for draining air drying knives and my bullet blender. I love this sink.

Thank you for a great and very thorough review. I am doing a remodel to sell and this is a great price point and looks fantastic!

Excellent video Sir!! So well explained and expressed 👌👌

I put in a double last year under-mount that I bought from a restaurant supply house. its nice but takes up a lot of counter space.

For the drain- use some thread sealant and on the gasket under the sink. I see this all the time as a plumber- and silicone will make changing the strainer down the road difficult (yes, it will have to be replaced one day).

Good idea installing additional support. Can’t tell you how much much under Mount sinks I’ve repaired because they came detached and fell off. Both kitchen and bathroom sinks. Btw any issues with scratches? Seen quite a lot of reviews with complaints about scratching.

Thank you! This helps! A LOT. Saved you in my cart!

I'm waiting for part 2 where you stand in the sink :)

Great video! I just ordered mine :)

Thank you for this in-depth video. I cannot wait to get a single sink (currently useless double sink). We're in the process of remodeling and sink shopping. How's the Ruvati holding up in 2021 :)?

This video was so helpful! Really Considering buying one. My only question is does it leave a lot of water spots?

1st, love the real use video and am now on board for a single basin sink, this vid almost makes me want this sink, {have cabinets, deciding on counter top}2nd if you need to wash dishes this much prior to dishwasher you are using too much soap in dishwasher and need a better dishwasher...** Grandchild of a home Economics teacher**..3rd. I bought the roll steel bars for my regular sink and 100% agree this is better than anything ever for a sink.

you're a good man to do the dishes, kudos

There are these great things called "garbage disposals" that I think you will love.

for drainage issue with colander tray...you could always just drill some additional drainage holes

Thank you for the review Joe. I have the 33" drop-in on order. I like the heaver 16 gauge stainless on it. How's the sound deadening on your model?

We have the same sink. Our colander has slits in the bottom that run perpendicular. It drains great.

below your countertop should there be plywoods? My contractor installed a very strong/high quality plywoods......didn't you also install the retaining clips come along with the sink?

Me a year after I purchase a Ruvati 32 inch undermount ledge sink

Thank you for a very helpful video. Just wondering if the sliding drying rack is strong enough to support a full pot of pasta ready to be drained. I'm thinking I'm not tall/strong enough to drain into a colander on that rack and would probably have to place the colander on the sink-bottom rack and rest the pasta pot on the ledge or the drying rack to pour it out. Any thoughts? Thanks!

if you slide the weight on the hose of your pull down faucet down a little, you'll be able to pull it out much further... don't go too far though or it won't click back into place.

I have never seen the separate faucet handle before... great idea Also, you prompted me to,get a dish soap dispenser Finally, from my experience, do not get a bargain basement pull down faucet

Hi. Question- is it easy to clean and does it show water spots? We are thinking of purchasing this sink. Thanks so much for your video!

I'm considering the apron front model of this sink for a kitchen renovation...how much of a hassle is it to keep those sharp squared corners from getting gunky? Right now we have an older sink with really rounded corners and it's so easy to scrub out. Just wondering if it's any harder? Do you just use an old toothbrush or something?

Do you have an opinion about stainless steel vs. granite composite?

Did I hear someone sing "Poop in the butt" in the background? 13:45 LOL :)

Thank you very much 🙏

Can you use the inside wrack as a drying wrack?

How do you clean the sink and bottom grid? Do you use stainless steel wool on either? How do you keep the sink clean? What cleaning materials do you use?

Can you talk about the template that comes with the sink ? was there an issue with the template not matching up for your counter top cuts? someone else reported an issue where the template provided with the sink was off, and they had to come back and re-cut the countertop

Kraus makes a sink that is almost identical including all the accessories. Wonder how it compares to this?

Nice video! I assume you can pull the drain out so you can discard food and use the garbage disposal

This is me giving you a hard time about the backsplash, because you asked us to. Also, I notice we have pretty much the same dishwasher, as well as that pink bottle basket.

Omg u just blew my mind wid this video , the dish strainer use for washing of the chopping bored n other things as support, just 2 question , 1)the metal stand inside of the sink , reduces scratches in the sink but what happens when its greasy after all the dishes being in there, it cannot really be used as a drying rack unless its really washed, how do u keep that clean on the go 2) if m cutting cost n install a splash-back around the sink area by using tiles n not going up with the Korean stone or quartz whats the best material to seal the tile n quartz so theirs no water seeping in n avoid the mol-ding like it happens on that glu or silicon used to join between the tile n quartz behind the sink tap … plz help m in the process of installing my kitchen… 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I noticed that it's a fairly involved cleaning regimen that you go through. Would you say it's more work cleaning those tight corners vs having some kind of radius?

how is the drainage btw? i have Kraus which is almost exactly like the Ruvati single hole one, but I find the "pitch" of the sink way too flat, so there is always some puddling of water near the middle, and all the water doesn't flow down into the drain well. How is it for Ruvati?

Best review 👌 I seen

How hard was it to install your plumbing or garbage disposal ???

Is the color of the countertop Bianco Pepper?

Sorry to be a bother, but I have another question. When you say "standard 36-inch base cabinet", does that mean the height of the cabinet off the floor?

Strictly Sinks has colored ones and they’re fantastic

That sink says 36” minimum cabinet space if you don’t have that, will the wood method work just fine?

Hey can you still recommend the Ruvati sink after 2 years of use maybe you can make update review will be appreciated

how many price is this. where does it buy from.

I believe that they suggest using a non abrasive pad to clean the sink.

I just bought a RUVATI RVH8300 And it doesn't have the rollup rack and the cutting board? Who should I contact🤔

Appreciate it. Can a garbage disposal hook up these sinks?

Very cool sink. Why no garbage disposal?

Nice sink the wife is sold. Good video 👍🏻

Warning buyers! Ruvati stainless steel sink is a low grade SSTL materials. Mine after 1 year some spots rust occurred. Brilliant nice look after a year gone.

Awh man, our current sink keeps leaking and were wanting a new one in hopes it won't leak lol!

The big question is would you buy this sink again or would you explore other brands, styles, sizes?

anyone purchased the 57"? I purchased one 3months ago, never had the chance to install yet , waiting for my cabinets to arrive , just having a second thought about it!`

Can you do a garbage disposal with this sink ?

im about to purchase using your link...my cabinets are under construction...no kids left either...i despise children haha

What kind of corian counters did you get

Why not use a garage disposal under the sink?

This links to the 32" which is $369.00 with the more squared corners, we are looking at the 32" sink which lists at $399.00 which has more rounded corners on the inside of the sink. Do you think the quality of the one for $399.00 is the same at the one you have?

It’s a good thing you have this channel I will not be buying the sink too many issues for that sing what it cost thank you for your video very helpful and remodeling my kitchen and I’m not gonna buy the sink standard sink only probably

Your water bill is high, I imagine.

LOL my shoulders are 2 feet apart :)

did I hear a baby in the background awwww

Where’s your garage disposal

Manufactures of these like to brag about how the sinks have square corners. It seems like that would make it harder to clean. How has that played out in actual use?

NO SOAP ON CAST IRON!!!

As soon as I saw the drain basket I knew this is not a company I probably wanna purchase from. Like who okay'd that design? Terrible.

i never understood the 1 sink basin, this must be an american thing. you literally wash your dishes and as they're dripping, put them in the dishwasher? that makes zero sense. why not have the 2nd basin, wash your dishes and just put them in the 2nd basin to dry and no need to make a mess with water all over the counter and floor? there is zero need for a dishwasher unless you're throwing a 6+ person party.

as a chef i can tell you you dont get any back pain washing or working in a deep sink.. and most of the gadgets that come with these sinks are close to useless.. the best thing about the sink is that its deep like commercial grade sinks.. and you can buy a full stainless bench with 2 sinks and a hat top edge for the cost of that sink..

You don't look like you are 300 pounds. LOL.

pinches comerciales de youtube

I just have to say this is a great video you did a great job covering the sink... until you pointed out that unfinished backsplash and window sill? Now you've ruined my day.. Finish that already, what the hell is wrong with you?

Just need a garbage disposal!

Mate a sink is a sink it's just for washing dirty dishes in 'nothing new in 300 years if I had my choice I'd buy the old white porcelain sink ''ones your granny would have used 'rather than this stainless steel rubbish
