Elkay DSESR12722 Dayton 27" Drop In Single Basin Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink - 1 Faucet Hole

This sink is exactly what I needed to replace the under counter that was in my 1 year old HR, under counter mount. Are you kidding me! The company failed to seal around the original sink and the counter top began to warp. It fit perfectly in the limited space after cutting the counter top to fit this sink. This sink is larger and a single basen. The dimensions were right on. The finish and quality are #10, great. Only thing I didn't like, it only had a thin sound deadening coating. I added more. I'll bet if when ordering the company would add more. Additional cost but worth it.

Super value! Beautiful sink. The flat rim makes clean up so easy. And the straight edges of the sink give so much more room. Replaced an old cruddy 25 inch sink in a 36 inch cabinet. This one took up same amount of room but so much more sink space! Love it. The packaging leaves a bit to be desired. Not enough padding around the sink corner. One came very modestly bent. Was able to hammer back into place...carefully!...with a padded mallet.P.s. don't forget to buy the drain assembly.

I wish that this sink had arrived in perfect condition, but one corner was really bent down and could not be fixed so we had to return it. It was a little awkward to have to haul it to a UPS store because the box is so big but it was overall easy to return. We did purchase this same sink from Lowes and we love it. It is nice and deep, seems to be a heavy stainless and looks great.

This is actually a good sink. It's attractive, heavy and seems to be durable. The rubber pad on the bottom makes the garbage disposal very quite. I'm very happy with this purchase. My only complaint is the sink mounting clips had no instructions and I gave up on using them and just siliconed the sink down.

The extra 2" in width make a big difference. I could not find in big box stores with out long lead times this arrive in 2 days very please with pricing too !

BOTTOM LINE -- The sink is 5 stars beautiful and sturdy 18 gauge stainless, Elkay graciously agreed to send the twice-missing drop-in mount hardware free of charge, but installation issues and related delays prevent me from giving a top rating.If you're prepared to buy your own clips and screws even though they should have been included, and you have at least 22" of interior cabinet space (front to back), I recommend it. Love the dual mount versatility, and this sink has the sleekest look I've seen yet for a drop-in mount installation. (Parts numbers and more detail about installation issues below).PARTS NUMBERS -- Per Elkay customer service: Elkay 64090012 for the drop-in mount clamps and screws which were missing in our shipment. Elkay GBG2416SS for a stainless steel protective grid which fits this sink.MISSING ITEMS -- TWICE! Instructions say clamps for an undermount application are NOT included, but clamps for a drop-in mount are provided. We didn't get ANY clamps or screws, so we returned the sink and ordered another. It also came without the clamps or screws. Elkay customer service confirmed that the drop-in mount hardware was included in the purchase price. They agreed to send it out free of charge. Good of them, but this still created delays for the contractor and more time without a sink for the client.The sink cutout template was also missing. It's apparently available online and can be printed if you have access to equipment which can handle oversized images. We opted to draw our template freehand by tracing the outline of the sink and coming in a distance equal to the space between the edge of the sink and the clamp grooves. This worked just fine.INSTALLATION ISSUES -- The dual mount sink was perfect for a frugal client who needed a new sink and countertop now, but is saving for a full kitchen remodel in a couple of years. We planned to do the drop-in mount with laminate counters as a temporary fix and reuse the sink later as an undermount when the quartz counters and new cabinets are installed. BUT . . . the home's 70 year old super-sturdy cabinets have 2" thick face frames instead of a typical 1" cabinet front. This was not discovered until the old damaged countertop was removed. The sink mounting grooves on the underside make it too deep (front to back) to fit our cabinet. The front and rear edges cannot be clamped into place. We decided to search out another model which was only 20" instead of 22" front to back.When best efforts failed to source a smaller drop-in sink, we had to get creative with installation of the Elkay sink on hand. The sink bowl fit, but access to the front and rear grooves on the underside (needed to clamp the sink in place) were blocked by our extra thick cabinet fronts. With the drop-in mount, we hope using only the side grooves and clamps and some extra silicone sealer will be enough to hold the sink in place.THE SINK -- It's so beautiful. I love the single bowl style which makes washing large pans easy. It also leaves more prep space than a double bowl sink, always valuable in a small kitchen. The design is sleek, modern, and attractive. It's 18-guage stainless, much sturdier than the 20 and 22 gauge sinks the big box stores stock.

Fit 30inches sink cabinet. The coming screws were too short and need to buy new long one. Looks beautiful. High CP value.

Was looking for a smaller sink so as not to take up too much room on my counter. It really looks nice, and the single bowl is an ample size. The only thing I regret is that it came with a couple of scratches, but I can live with that and didn't want to return. If you are looking for a single bowl sink that is not as large as the standard single bowl sink, this one is for you. After painting the cabinets, putting in a new countertop, sink, and faucet, the room hardly looks like the 1950's kitchen we started with.
