Okay, let me just say—I never thought I'd be this excited about a SINK, but here we are. After 3 months with the KRAUS Standart PRO™, I'm obsessed.
First off, this thing is MASSIVE. Like, 'I can bathe my small dog in it' massive. The 60/40 split is genius—big side for pots, small side for disposal. That low divider? *Chef's kiss* for washing baking sheets.
The stainless steel looks crazy expensive (my contractor thought it cost twice what it did). No visible scratches yet, even though I've definitely dropped my cast iron in here more than once. Comes with these cool rubber-footed racks that prevent scratches—super thoughtful.
Now the disposal—this WasteGuard system shreds everything. Pumpkin guts? Gone. Artichoke leaves? Obliterated. The continuous feed is so much better than batch-feed models I've used before.
Small gripes: 1) Water pools a bit before draining (wish the slope was steeper) 2) You'll need strong arms—those deep bowls mean reaching way down to scrub. Not great for short people after long dish sessions.
Final verdict? If Cinderella had a modern kitchen makeover, this would be her sink. Functional, gorgeous, and makes cleanup feel oddly luxurious. 9.5/10 (minus 0.5 for making me do more dishes just to use it).
