KRAUS Fairlane 25-inch Undermount Single Bowl 18-Gauge Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink, KHU641-25

Beautiful and Solid
The 27″ undersink mount was the largest I could fit in the 30″ base cabinet (Home Depot Hampton Bay style). My remodeling contractor said these stainless steel sinks won’t hold up to garbage disposal mounting. But he pick up one end to the Kraus 16 ga. sink and was impressed with the sink’s rigidity and weight. Absolutely no flex.BE AWARE on a kitchen remodel with a garbage disposal the disposal’s drain/p-trap did not line up the old drain rough-in which was exactly 16 inches center above the kitchen floor (not cabinet). The drain needed lowering about 2 inches at least but not too low so the P-trap is obstructed by the cabinet bottom. Helpful measurements the sink drain is about 10.5″ below the undersink mounting surface (quartz). And the Insinkerator discharge pipe bottom is about 6.5″ center below sink when mounted. So the height stackup (sink + disposal drain + P-trap) (10.5″ + 6.5″ + 2″ = 19″). So drain outlet needs to be at least 19″ below the counter top mounting surface (again with Insinkerator disposal). YMMV but I was remodeling so the contractor lowered the drain height about 2″.Also on the 27″ sink the drain opening is in the right rear so could be mounting issues as well with the placement and disposal diameter (electrical outlets, air gap pipes, etc).This sink will scratch but I want a 100% functional daily use sink and not a show piece. I will clean it in the direction of stainless steel grain – left to right in my case. And will use the included rack but not every day.Edit: After 5 mo. of use I love this sink. Yes it easily scratches but now use the included bottom rack exclusively. Hand wash dishes once per day and the rack keeps dishes dry until wash time. The drain in the right rear is excellent as stacked dishes don’t block the drain opening. Almost silent operation with Insinkerator disposal (no vibration). The 25” usable width and ample depth make cleaning bbq grills much easier. The Krauss replaces a 30” top mount twin sink that had a tiny prep sink in combo with a larger, shallow bowl sink (builder special). Totally worthless as the prep sink had the garbage disposal and the smallish main sink bowl had none. Hated that twin sink!

Excellent quality sink! It looks awesome in our kitchen and even the plumber who installed it was impressed with how easy it was to install. It fit perfectly in the ‘old’ hole. Water does not sit anywhere in the sink because it has drainage creases. It comes with the hookup and the strainers are a great invention. Just push them down to plug the sink and lift up to let the water run through. We love it. Very solid sink that looks great.

Absolutley LOVE this sink!
Run, don’t walk to the checkout button!!! I LOOOOOOVE this sink!!! We replaced our old traditional sink with this amazing thing and we could not be happier!! It fit in the exact same cutout from our original sink, so it was super easy to pop out the old, and pop in the new. We were even able to reuse the existing plumbing parts (went from 2 drains down to this 1 drain). So spacious!! The angled bottom makes it easy to rinse down the bottom.5 stars for sure!!!we did drill an additional hole for our soap dispenser.. but that was easy with a hole saw!

Kraus….. gotta be German for kitchen bath tub!
Let me first start by saying that this sink is really nice and seems to be very well made. I purchased the 27” with the off-set drain due to my under cabinet needs, but I was unable to use my garbage disposal due to the added depth of this Kraus sink. The drain on my disposal was just a fraction of an inch lower than my stub out coming out of the wall which would have caused standing water in the disposal. I just ditched the disposal for now and used the drain that came with the sink. Just be mindful of the extra depth of the sink and plan accordingly if a disposal is a must for you! !Like other reviewers have mentioned, it came packaged very good and very fast with Prime shipping. The provided template was a huge bonus, but I will admit I was very reluctant to make the sink cutout in our new walnut butcher block countertop. It was my first time doing something like this and the ol’ sphincter was at maximum pucker level during the cut process! I figured I only really had one shot to get it right otherwise it was $600 worth of wood down the tubes…. well I’m glad to say that it turned out really nice!The only problem I have with our new sink is the little drain cover they give you started to rust almost immediately after getting wet and the basket in the drain itself lets quite a bit of food pass through it and down the drain. The rust is of the most concern because the cover appears to be stainless steel like the sink and it has me questioning the durability and quality of the metal used during the manufacturing process. So far the sink hasn’t shown any signs of rust, but I’ll update my review if it does.All in all, this sucker is an absolute beast and will hopefully withstand the test of time.

Have had this installed for about 1.5 months now in a new kitchen island with quartz countertops. The sink is definitely quality built and thick stainless steel. Was a bit surprised with how big it is ( having come from a older double bowl sink) and is great having the extra depth to wash large pots. So far it’s easy to keep clean and so long as you wipe it down after cleaning dishes it remains shiny and spot free.The countertop guys installed it for me but watching them it was easy to install as an under mounted sink.So far am very happy with the purchase and would highly recommend this brand to friends and family. Well with the costs.

The 27″ looks much better than the 30″ and functions just the same. I find the larger size looks more like a trough which made me opt out to the size smaller and I’m glad I did. The offset drain is the way to go, it frees up all kinds of space in the cabinet below. This sink is top quality stainless steel. I’m in the plumbing business and had a choice of any of the top manufactures, Kraus did not disappoint in any aspects, design, looks, quality of sink and accessories, packaging, shipping, ease of installation and drains properly. The looks and functions has added a real wow factor to the kitchen design. I was not disappointed in anyway.
