Elkay ECTRU30179RT Crosstown Single Bowl Undermount Stainless Steel Sink

Great sink! It drains well when installed level, and the sound dampening panels work very well, even when using a high power sprayer. The tight radius corners look good, but are still easy to clean, unlike squared corners. The offset drain has been great. It's easier to rinse particles down the drain, because we don't end up "chasing" them around a centered drain with the sprayer--just sweep the opposite side of the sink a couple of times, and any particles run to the drain on their own. It also frees up a lot of cabinet space underneath, and doesn't divide that space down the center, unlike a center-mounted drain. Update after 6 months: We still love it. We've never seen a rust spot in this. Minor scratches, as to be expected in a metal sink without using an ugly metal grid. It's still very easy to keep clean. Added pictures--the one taken from above shows it at 6 months of use. Edit: the picture of the sink without the faucets visible was taken after 2 years of use. Still no complaints whatsoever. We have left metal pots in the sink overnight and have never seen any stains or signs of rust.

We just recently got the sink installed under our new granite countertop. The sink looks fabulous. We chose it because we have one like it in our Florida home. This sink has an offset drain that was needed because of the plumbing layout beneath the sink; a necessary option for us. The sink is very durable, has good insulating materiel on the underside, and fits our needs. The price was fair and shipping was quick. The box was slightly damaged on arrival but the packing inside protected the sink just fine. We also purchased a wire basin for the sink to protect it from direct contact with something dropped. The sink is easy to clean but like any stainless steel sink you need to avoid abrasives during cleaning or you'll end up with a scratched finish. We use dishwashing liquid with a soft sponge followed by a Clorox wipe. Very satisfied with the purchase, again. We recommend!

This is a great sink and has been performing well. The offset drain is great for opening up the space in the under-sink cabinet and opening up a large flat portion of the sink where a center drain used to be, which can be handy for washing flat pans and flexible items (e.g. Silpats). Note: it does scratch a little bit (only very minor scratches) through everyday wear and does show water drops if you let water dry naturally. Neither of these issues is very apparent and neither detracts from this beautiful sink.

I normally don't post reviews, but thought this time it was warranted. We got our big, beautiful sink quickly and installed it yesterday with our new counters. I much prefer the function and size of a single bowl sink to the double it replaced. The offset drain is easily accessed when there are dishes in the sink, and it allowed us to keep our plumbing and garbage disposal where they were. It also allows for more useful storage under the sink. However, being somewhat flat on the bottom, water does pool a little. I like the modern look of the sink, but the slightly rounded interior corners are much easier to clean than the squared, sharper corners of our last sink. OK- here is the important part of the review: I was HUGELY disappointed to find the bottom of the sink covered in tiny pinpoint rust spots the morning after installation. I contacted the seller and Elkay with steam coming out of my ears! They both emailed/called me back immediately. Elkay customer service explained that the "rust" was not from the sink itself, but rather from bits of manufacturing dust/debris left in the sink. The flatter bottom of this particular sink contributes to the issue because water puddles do sit. They instructed me not to use steel wool or any sort of bleach products (which I don't), and scrub with a gentle powder cleanser and soft Scotchbrite type sponge. They also recommended drying the sink every evening or as often as I'd like. I did all of that and the spots were removed. They said it should get better over time. I hate the hassle, and wish copper would "go" with our new home (that was my MOST favorite sink material EVER!), but since I was going for a "look" along with function at a reasonable price point, this Elkay sink fits the bill. Plus, after the very positive interaction I just had with customer service, I am quite happy with this purchase.

I bought this product understanding that it was a high-quality. I also liked the size of the sink. After installation, it quickly became apparent that it stained easily. It struck me that the stains could not be removed and seemingly that even pure water made the sink lose its luster. Even after having a professional clean the sink the stains and dull surface remain. I do not recommend this sink. Given the other positive reviews on Amazon, I wonder if those of us giving it a low rating, got a defective product. If so, our sinks should be replaced free of charge.
