| I know these topics get discussed so I apologize in advance... I've spent the whole day looking at sinks online and I'm more confused than ever... I can order Krauss online (I live in Canada), i've never seen any of their products in person. Are Kohler or Blanco better products? I'm looking for a stainless undermount sink for a small cabinet (25" perhaps 27"). I found a brand called C-Tech as well, has anyone heard of them? thank you |

| I have a Kraus SS sink and I love it, but I think if you order a 16 or 18 gauge sink from Kohler or Blanco you can't go wrong. I don't recognize the name C-Tech. Look for a shape and size that works for you. Your sink will probably be 22-24" to fit in the size base you have to work with. Were I you, I'd find the best sink configuration that worked for me and not worry about "best." Any of the 3 will be good. |

| I bought a 16 gauge Ruvati sink from Overstock and I love it. Kohler or Blanco are good brands but most of their sinks are 18 or 20 gauges and their 16 gauge sinks have outrageous prices. I paid $250 for the Ruvati sink and I am very impressed by the quality. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Ruvati sinks on Overstock.com

| Thanks! I've driven myself nuts looking at sinks :( The Krauss fits the cabinet in the plan as is of 25". I have to buy it online though as I haven't found a store in my city that carries them (I'm in Canada). |

| I bought my Kraus sink from ExpressDecor and was pleased all around. |
|
| I also have a Kraus sink and so far so good. It was just installed, but I'm pleased with quality and my contractor was equally as impressed. |

| We bought our Kraus undermount stainless steel sink online. No problem. It came in good packaging. It's a good sink that will last a lifetime. |

| We have the Ruvati RVH7300 and we are quite happy with it. Very heavy and solid. We get lots of compliments. |

| I bought my Kraus from overstock.com. It's advertised as 16 gauge and the lower the gauge, the heavier and stronger the stainless. It's a great sink which comes with a grid. I had never had a grid before and I love the grid. If I have any gripe, my minor gripe is that the slope to the drain could be a smidge sharper, but it's so minor, that I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. I thought drain placement would be an issue, but because of the grid, it is a nonissue. |

| I am also buying a Kraus farmhouse apron front stainless steel sink. A friend just put one in her new build home and loves it. 16 gauge steel and really good prices. Just got mine from FaucetDirect.com |

| Krauss is made in China despite the German name. I have one in my laundry room. It came with a drain, grid and is the single bowl. It seems fine and looks nice. It was a little rough feeling when I got it but not anymore. Perhaps it had some sort of coating on it or something. The grid and drain seem a little on the cheap side but it is doing the job well so far and has been installed for about a year. It doesn't have that bling shine like a Franke would have but neither does it have the price. Sometimes you just don't need a $1000 sink!!! So far I am happy with it in every way. |
