Customer Reviews for KOHLER Vault Smart Divide Dual Mount Stainless Steel 33 in. 1-Hole Offset Double Bowl Kitchen Sink Kit with Basin Rack

I like the size of this sink and it is pleasing to look at but that is all. I would never buy this sink again for the following reasons: constantly chasing food (due to a flat bottom) around the sink so it goes into the drain, the square sides and square angles make this very difficult to clean and can only get into the corners with a toothpick, scratches very easily so a raised grate needed on the bottom- which also needs to be cleaned regularly with a brush to get all sides and rounded edges- too big to fit in a dishwasher. The use of a grate then requires more water to fill your sink. In a nutshell this sink requires more work to keep clean than any other sink I have ever had. After 2 years of use the the leg protectors on the metal grate have worn through.

Single person use not a family and less then a year of use. Nothing hot is put in the sink ever (pots, pans, dishes, etc). Never did that even of the stainless steel sink. They are left to cool first. If pouring heat water from a pot, the cold water is turned on first and allowed to run around the sink not directly into the drain to keep any hot liquid from contacting the sink bottom. The hot water/liquid is poured slowly directly into the drain. The same procedure I have used on stainless steel sinks and another sink. Bottom of sink started yellowing and is pretty noticeable since sink is white in color. Use silicon mat to protect sink from scratching. Always rinse the sink after use and use regular dish soap to wash pots and pans and do a final wash of the sink with a soapy sponge before rinsing pots, pans and the finally rinsing the sink with cold water. Have been using baking soda for 30 years to wash the Vision (i.e. glass) cookware if I needed to use it (I fill the pots with water to soak overnight on the stove top). Dish soap, baking soda nor another mild sinking cleaning agent works to remove the yellowing. Sink just looks off. Lightly colored sink is not for a kitchen. Rethink your color choose as you will be disappointed quickly.

We have had this sink for 5 years. Initially loved the look and as others have said the lower divide. Keeping this sink clean is a struggle as the slope and squared corners do not encourage food scraps to go down the disposal.

This sink is great—a space large enough to clean a big pot or pan. Love the low divide. Wish a 2-hole sink would’ve been available though so I could have had a soap dispenser also. Very happy otherwise.

very unhappy with how easily it gets scratched with the quality we expected

Good cusomer service - quick delivery. The sink looks great and has plenty of room, but it doesn't drain well because it's too flat on the bottom.
