Rating provided by a verified purchaser

Matched my black granite counter for a rennovation project-replaced old sink and it looks really nice. Not sure how i will like trying to keep the water spots off the bowls tho. Havent come up with a good solution yet

I LOVE this sink. I've had a white cast iron sink for years, it was a total nightmare to keep clean. I've also had stainless, also drove me crazy. I'm a neatnick and I love everything looking spotless all the time. Enter this sink. LOVE IT. Only one caveat- I don't know about the lighter colors, but the black one starts to get some white haze by where I've kept my soap dispensers. Drove me batty. I finally found a super easy solution: oil it. That's right, clean it with dishwashing liquid, rinse, dry, then wipe some cooking oil on like you would care for a cutting board. Now it's gorgeous again. I imagine it needs this occasionally. I found info for cleaning on this lady's blog: http://whimsygal.com/2013/02/battle-of-the-black-granite-composite-sink/

First purchase was broken in two places. The exchanged sink was intact. Recommend inspecting product prior to leaving store. Sink is installed using silicone instend of plumbears putty so it appears to be permanent. The knockout took a couple whacks with a hammer an punch. Manufacturer recommends application of cooking oil if surface gets a white film. All-in-all a good looking product
