Product was well worth the Money.I could not be happier.Exactly what I was looking for. Love it!!!Sink is really good, big deep, just what we wanted, but the mounting brackets did not work well for us at all. Recommend ordering different mounting brackets.Very nice sink. My only complaint is that the bottom doesn't slope enough toward the drain. The water drains pretty slowly... slow enough that many drops just stay in the bottom, and dry up, leaving subtle water stains behind. Small bits of food stay in the bottom as well unless you focus harder than you should have to on spraying them.The grate on the bottom does a good job of protecting the sink from getting banged, BUT also makes it harder to clean the aforementioned water spots and bits of food. I still prefer to use it though, at least for now.The hole for the soap dispenser is appropriately sized for... well... a soap dispenser, but not a dishwasher air gap, which I would have preferred. I wasn't planning on using the soap dispenser hole, and I fully expected there to be a cap included to cover it if unneeded, but there was none. I ended up putting a soap dispenser in anyways and I guess it's alright.The included drying rack is nice, but not as practical as I'd hoped. It's not really big enough to dry all that many dishes on it, but if it were any bigger, it'd take up too much sink space. Overall I think it's sized optimally, and I will use it as intended, but it's definitely a tradeoff to use it instead of a separate drying rack.It seems to show water spots pretty badly. I didn't have this problem with my previous white porcelain sink. If I could go back in time I think I would have just gotten another porcelain sink, but overall, I can't imagine a stainless sink being any better than this one, especially for the price, which was pretty decent when I bought it.The sink was relatively easy to install - we used our own method of securing it so I wasn't worried about reviews mentioning the clips, etc. It seems well made and I like the extra depth (10" vs most that are 9"). The outside edges are a bit sharp!The bottom is VERY flat - water does not flow towards the hole at all. Perhaps this is the case with all large single-basin sinks? We've always had 2-basin sinks before this. I don't like having to "squeegee" all the water towards the drain hole every time I use the sink. If you get any food in the sink, you will be chasing it around for quite some time before it goes down the drain! We removed the protective grid after a few days because you just can't get all the water to go down, or any food particles, with the grid in the way.The finish seems very durable, but it shows water spots like crazy. I'm not used to having to wipe down the entire sink every time I use it (if I want it to look good). Possibly more noticeable because the sink is so huge (single basin vs double again).I wish I had been more thorough in researching sink slope and finishes. My husband would flip if I told him we should take it back out - and I'm not up to doing it myself - so I guess I'll just learn to live with it. :-)Beautiful sink! It could use a bit more slope, as it's somewhat difficult to wash food bits into the strainer or disposal through the grid. I wouldn't want to take the grid out , so overall I'm pleased with it.We DIY installed this as a drop-in replacement from two basins to one basin. And immediately it transformed our kitchen. With such a small bezel, this sink really feels 100X bigger that the previous one even through it is using the exact same cutout. My only concern is the rust spots we are starting to see in less than 2 months time. We live in Florida and there is salt in our air but it seems unusually fast to start rusting alreadySo disappointed! Dimensions of sink were incorrect in Amazon description. Had to cut a bigger hole into counter top to make it fit.Finally got sink installed and on day 3 rust spots are already starting to form!! Brutal!!
