Ruvati 29-inch Undermount 60/40 Double Bowl 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink - RVM4500

I bought this kitchen sink, a Ruvati RVM4500 model, as a replacement for my old sink that was just too limiting for larger pots & pans. This new sink is terrific. It has plenty of room for large items, even my big ol' 14" cast iron fry skillet with it's long handle. The unit was easy to install, and they furnished all the mounting hardware for the under hung mounting, and a drilling and cut out template for the installation. The sink came with basket strainers for the drains, which work great. The baskets are fitted with a little swivel handle that make it easy to retrieve it out of the drain without getting your fingers all gunky from the collected matter. The unit also comes with wire strainers for the bottom of the sink to wash things without having them sit in the dirty water at the bottom of the sink. Great for cleaning leafy vegetables freshly pulled from the garden. We are very pleased with this sink unit and would definitely recommend it to others.Update 7/24/15: The sink has held up wonderfully. I'm very pleased we went with the stainless steel material. My large cast iron pots & pans would have definitely scratched up the ceramic coated sinks. Also the sink is much quieter that the run-of-the-mill 18 or 20 gauge thick stainless sinks. Most of those thinner walled sinks sound like drums when the water stream from the faucet hit the bottom of the sink. I still would recommend this sink to others.

We finally remodeled our kitchen this winter. The cabinets, appliances and majority of accessories came from the Home Depot. The sink, however (double bowl, as we wanted) would had to be a special order because of smaller than regular width of the cabinet supporting it. We tried to pick one up from the Home Depot’s catalog but they were priced ridiculously high comparing to their respective regular size examples. Then I came across this one on Amazon. At first I was a little apprehensive buying this item. The price was suspiciously low and there were very few reviews. But eventually we decided to give it a shot. What a nice surprise. Not only it had the right size and solid 16 gauge stainless steel body, but it came nicely accessorized with two basket strainers (mandatory items that you would have paid another $40 -$60 extra) and with two stainless steel rinse grids, a very nice, fancy looking, and useful feature. After several months of usage we did not encounter any problems with the sink and it still looks like new. I usually do not write reviews but with this item I really felt compelled to do so. For $240 I paid for it on Amazon, feels like a steal.

We are very impressed with this sink, it has features of more expensive ones. It is very quiet, even when you drop heavy dishes in it. The grates are nice and seem to be holding up. We have been using the sink for 3 months. Our favorite parts are the little 'bucket' drain catchers. We really like that the drain of the large sink basin is set back to allow for more storage under the sink, the drain for the small basin is centered, not sure why, it would be really nice if it were set back also. We would have rated 5 stars if this drain was also set back.

Nice sink but did not fit in my kitchen. It was too small.

My parents installed this same Ruvait sink about eight years ago and it's held up great/looks virtually new. We looked at a variety of other manufacturers when we remodeled our kitchen a year ago, but went with Ruvati for the cost, quality, and value. A year later, we are still very pleased. The sink and accessories are all high quality. The granite counter top installers said the sink was easy to under-mount. We are happy with the sink design, durability, finish, accessories, and sound deadening. The sink bottom grids/racks were a nice bonus and help keep items level and the sink bottom clean and scratch free. Great sink, great value.

Sink works fine (i.e. doesn't leak). I'm frustrated with the finish. It always looks dirty, even after washing dishes and using the soap and water and a brush to quickly clean the sink. It only looks nice if I use a magic eraser and/or stainless polish. As soon as I rinse a few dishes, it looks bad again. I replaced a 20 y/o stainless sink that looked better after 20 years than this one after a week. It is nice and sturdy and seems sound proofed. I can't recommend this sink since I expect a stainless steel product to be easy to maintain.

Can a girl fall in love with a sink? Oh Yeah! I purchased the RVM4500 in May. Because of the configuration of my dishwasher, I was limited to 29" but I really wanted a double sink. The Ruvati provided the perfect solution. The sink is very well made. I was nervous about a sink that was 9" deep. I had never had a sink deeper than 7", but what a difference. The extra depth really reduces splashes on the counter and me. The basket strainers are really classy but the best included accessory was the accessory I thought I wouldn't need or want and that is the rinse grids. I thought they would only get in the way but I have come to really appreciate how they help in food prep and providing extra work space. I also love the fact that they protect my beautiful sink from scratches. The sink has really exceeded my expectations. If we move, I'm taking my sink with me!!

I was looking for a 60/40 undermount sink that would fit in our 30 inch base cabinet, even though I was told by our kitchen designer that we would not be able to fit a 60/40 in that size cabinet. Determined to find a suitable product, I searched online, found, and ordered this product. The price was very affordable and the dimensions looked promising. After inspecting our cabinets and the template that came with the sink, the granite installer confirmed that product sink would fit. We are so pleased with the styling and quality of this heavy gauge product and the accessories that were included in the purchase. The larger and deeper sink is great for baking dishes and large pots, and the smaller sink is totally adequate for our daily use.
