We bought this sink to replace the small round sink in our R-Pod 180 trailer. It is very well built using thick stainless steel, with well finished welds and radiused inside corners. Being a drop-in sink, I thought that the finish of the rim and outside edges was a little rough. I softened the outside edge with a file and wet sanded the rim to a smoother satin finish. Other than that we are very happy with it. It fits the counter well and the extra depth is very useful when space is limited.

Size, depth, and shape are perfect. As a former double sinker, I had no idea what it had been missing. I became a convert within the first hour. The best part is the grate. No other sinks that I looked at before choosing the Leafloat had one. The only fault (and it’s slight) is that the bottom is fairly flat. It drains the water to the drain but generally not the solid parts. They have to be sprayed into the drain basket. Overall, well worth the money. The Amazon price was the best one I found, but about $100. The guy that helped me install it liked it so well that he ordered one for himself.

This sink is great! Sleek looking, great accessories, and a perfect fit. We had this shipped to the crew that was building our basement bar and it worked out great. I’d highly recommend this, price was right too.

This sink is amazing. Totally changed the look of my kitchen. It is huge! I wanted to go from double sink to single and this did the trick.I did not install the garbage disposal for now, I will try to use the supplied catch tray instead and see how that works. Keep in mind if you do want to use your disposal you will have to use a different drain. I could have used the one from my old sink if I wanted the disposal.The install was fairly simple to do by myself. I had to reroute some of the drain pipes so it took a few trips to the hardware store and about 5 hours to completely remove the old sink and install the new one. Also, you do not need and caulk to install this sink. There is actually just a thin edge that touches the counter so caulk wouldn’t even work. You will need some plumbers putty for the drain. Removal of the old caulk was probably the biggest headache.I used the 3 hole with a delta faucet and soap dispenser. It looks and functions great. The 4th hole I used for my air gap.Hope this helps. It looks great! Before and after picture attached.

We researched quite a while looking to replace our old porcelain, dual mount sink. We also have laminate countertops and all of our appliances are stainless; this somewhat limits our choices. None of the hardware stores in our area had what we were looking for. At first we were a little hesitant to order a sink online without being able to look at it in person. The number of high reviews are very good for such a new product so we decided to give it a shot. I am glad that we did.This sink is great! It is exactly as advertised; very high quality, thick steel. It was hard to find many sinks over 18 gauge but this is 16 and is quite deep. At 10¡± it is perfect. Any deeper it could be uncomfortable to work in and bend down for an extended period of time.The packaging was awesome. I was nervous about shipping such a big, valuable item but it was packed extremely well. Very high quality packaging. The cutout template was included in the box. Although we did not use it since we were replacing an old sink.Our old sink was the same size, roughly (33×22). The old sink had a rounded hole cut into the countertop. Luckily, we did not have to make any cuts into our counter for it to fit right, but it was pretty close. If you have an existing sink with rounded edges, you might get by without cutting at all. But this is not always the case.It comes with a nice drain and basket strainer although you won¡¯t be using them if you plan on hooking up to a garbage disposal, which you can with this sink. If you do install a new garbage disposal or use an existing one, you will need the pipe connections and disposal mount, so keep that.The rinse grid that it comes with seems to work well as already stated. It does help prevent scratching and such; however, it makes it slightly inconvenient since you have to use water to get stuff into the drain instead of just wiping some things. To keep it looking nice, you will have to remove the grid every so often and clean the bottom, especially the corners. It¡¯s not too bad though.So far, it has not scratched easily which is nice! As others have stated, the one thing that is not great is the angle of the sink floor. Water and food particles tend to sit comfortably around the sink edges. It¡¯s really not that much work to spray it towards the drain, but if you don¡¯t have a good spray nozzle this might be inconvenient for you.This sink is not undermount, so we can¡¯t expect it to be that easy to wipe stuff from the counter into the sink. The edge of the sink sticks up above the counter about 3/8¡±.Overall, the sink is great for the price. Very good quality and looks nice. It can seem weird getting something like this online, but really, it¡¯s simply just what it claims to be.Now, installing the sink was interesting. I¡¯m not sure if I could say anything bad about the design, I¡¯m definitely no plumber; however, I thought I would share some pictures and information about what I experienced. Keep in mind, I did not have to do any cutting in my countertop, so I¡¯m skipping that part.IMPORTANT! You will probably want to install your faucet FIRST before mounting your sink. This is a 10¡± deep sink and once its installed you have only a few inches to work with between you and the wall in a tight place, that goes up 10¡±. I was glad I did the faucet first when I had all the room in the world.Next, the instructions say to attach the ¡°mounting clips¡± to the sink. I¡¯ll talk more about those in a moment. You will definitely want these on the sink though before you lower it into the counter.The instructions said to place a ¡°rope¡± of plumber¡¯s putty along the bottom edge of the outside rim of the sink (the bottom edge that sits on the countertop). What this meant was to get some plumbers putty and roll in your hand until it¡¯s small enough to push up onto the bottom of the sink¡¯s outside edge. (SEE PICTURE OF PEN AND PUTTY)Now, the edge of the sink is really thin, perhaps as thick as a piece of cardboard. So this was not easy. Plumber¡¯s putty sticks better to my hand than stainless steel so this was a bit of a pain. It kept falling off. I don¡¯t have any magical tips for this. Sorry¡After that we had to place the sink in the counter. Funny now that all of the edges that I would otherwise grab are covered in putty¡ The only way I figured to do this without disturbing all of the putty was to get under the counter and hold the sink up from the bottom while I lay down, and then my wife guided it from the top as I lowered it.Now¡ The mounting clips¡ First, I read other reviews where people said they were fine without them. I noticed that while fiddling with the sink it would scoot some out of position, so I personally did not feel like the weight of the sink was enough. Also, silicon is a great sealant, but it¡¯s not really a strong adhesive; so I would not depend on it to hold your sink in place when you put it around the edge at the end. Thus, I opted to install the mounting clips.The clips work like this: as you tighten the nut on the clip, it pulls the sink down as it jams a bracket into the ceiling of under your counter. However, if there is too much space between the wall of the sink and the all of the counter these will not work so well. I¡¯ll show you what I¡¯m talking about.There are a couple pictures (SEE ATTACHED) of the clips on the sides of the sink looking up from the bottom. The two pictures where the side of the sink is very close to the counter wall is how it should look. You’ll notice that one is a pretty tight fit, it barely worked for me.The brackets are threaded. You can see now that as you tighten the bolt it pulls the mount down, which in turn pulls the sink down, and since the edge of that bracket is digging into the bottom edge of the counter there, it makes the sink really snug.Okay, so the tough part. If you look closely, this only works if the space is really tight. If there is no wall on either side, the bolt will start tilting to the side instead of pulling the sink down. Since the back of the sink has more space for the faucet stuff, the mounting clips did not work so well in the back for me. (SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS – note that the pictures of the back shows more room than others and includes a picture of what happens when a bracket starts to tilt sideways).As I tried to tighten it, it just leaned towards the sink and never got tight (SEE ATTACHED). So I figured I could get some adhesive and shove a 2×4 scrap wood in there and make it more tight. (SEE ATTACHED)I used Titebond polyurethane liquid glue (in a purple bottle). It is supposed to adhere to both metal and wood.So it¡¯s not perfect, but the mount is able to tighten now because it starts to press against the wood (SEE ATTACHED).From here, you still have to install your drain and caulk the outside edge of the sink with silicon. I just got some Kitchen, Bath, & Plumbing waterproof silicon and a calk gun. I put a bead around the edge about the thickness of a string of yarn and ran my finger around to push it into the edge between the sink and the counter more. Some places online recommended putting painters tape down on the counter almost up to the edge of the sink; I got by without it. If you like things really neat, it might be worth it. I would probably do that next time, but it turned out okay this time. The back of the sink was hard because the caulk gun would not angle right into the crack; I had to kind of smudge it in by hand. In hindsight, I might purchase a ¡°tube¡± of silicon instead of using a caulk gun, just because they are so much smaller and easier to handle. I probably could have gotten to the back of the sink just fine with that.You can see the finished product in 3 of the pictures attached (one is of the sink/garbage disposal/sewer connection, the other two are of the top of the sink).

Bought this for our son’s new house. At this time sink had to be replaced and not replacing countertops at this time so had to go with the 33″. It is just truly fabulous. Son has been actually cooking and appliances, sink, faucet make such a huge difference when you actually use them several times a day. He’s thrilled and we are delighted it worked out and he loves it.It was easy to install BUT they had to rework the plumbing, only two trips to the hardware store, but that was expected since going from 2 sinks to one. The house is 80 years old so you never know what to expect.Also, no issues with delivery. Arrived safe and sound and ready to install.

Absolutely beautiful and absolutely affordable sink, it is easy to install and sits flush with the counter. I have a tile countertop so I needed to add a bit of grout to fill in some of the edges as well as silicone. Looks very high-end and brings modernism to any kitchen.Warning: It does water stain easily HOWEVER you can clean it to 100% shine using bartenders aid / polish once a week. I just wipe it down when im done using it and it looks brand new daily.

I was concerned that I would not like this sink because of my prior experiences with stainless sinks: typically noisy, hard to keep clean and not very big. I gave up a triple bowl porcelain sink with my kitchen remodel and I loved the versatility. THIS sink changed all that for me. I love it. It’s big, deep and the lines and angles look great in my kitchen. As others have stated, it arrives beautifully packaged – I’m using the box it came in to store quilts! Large trays fit well, there’s plenty of room to fill big pots, drain big pots and room for a dish drainer and dishpan if you want to hand wash. Why four stars? As others pointed out, the angle is a bit flat to rinse crumbs and food bits into the drain; it ends up using more water than I’d like to get everything into the drain. Also, the included drain cover doesn’t work with a disposal; Leafloat needs to address that. It’s quiet, too, partly because of the included rack, which I love. This sink was a marvelous find for the price, I hope I continue to love it for years to come.

High quality – very thick. Template was accurate & it looks fabulous in countertop. (Still has tape on recently-cut countertop & faucet yet to be installed.)
