@@JM.TheComposer they have a good texture and are not slippery.

@@markzuro3592 no sink Ruvati offers is made in China, according to their website: "Where is this sink made? Ruvati is a US-based company. Our products are designed in-house by our Product Development team based in our Austin, Texas headquarters. We have manufacturing, assembly, and distribution facilities in the US, Italy, Dubai, Thailand, and Vietnam. All our high-end fireclay, epiGranite, and epiStone sinks are made in Italy. Most of our stainless steel sinks are made in Thailand and Vietnam.

So, I noticed the reviews where the wirless charging didn't work with the case on was only on the Pixel 2 stand chargers. I have since purchased the case and NO issues with any of the wireless chargers I have. They are all from different companies too. 👍

@@aristomichael wireless charging works just fine with the case in my experience. Can you point to a source for that?

@@luke9822 Not sure what source you are expecting. I tried it in Honda CRV and it went on a loop of connect and disconnect every few seconds. Checked their reddit to realize the same issue is observed in pixel 1 & 2 stands and tesla by other users.

@@luke9822 I am returning my case and slim wallet. After a bit of reading, I believe this is the same issue with almost all cases. Though the phone may look similar, the coin arrangement underneath is different. Most manufacturers made the case for pixel 9 and marketing it as 9/9 pro. But it looks like they are not an exact match. Tried a caseology Nano pop and got the same issue.

@@omjaye it would have been a good idea to include that in my review, but I did in fact check that on both of them and the Ruvati was just as good as Kraus in that regard. There are a few things that can affect the noisiness of a stainless steel sink. The gauge of the metal is a big factor and it also makes the sink less susceptible to dents. Other factors are the insulation material surrounding the sink, the geometry of the sink, and the installation of the sink. We used a Hercules harness when installing, so there's no issue at all with sound on this sink. It's _super_ stable.

@@mejaii It's kind of hard to explain but it's a matte, ever-so-slightly ribbed texture. You might even think it is fabric-like, but it is not the fabric material they have for the dark gray case. It is vinyl, I believe, based on the material description for the wallet that matches it.

It's inside where I show it in the video. They don't list it as a part from what I recall.

@@paulflogeras2309 it's ever so slightly proud of the camera bump, just enough to keep the camera from scratching on a surface, but without adding an unnecessary bulk or interfering with light reflections.

@@paulflogeras2309 it's ever so slightly proud of the camera bump, just enough to keep the camera from scratching on a surface, but without adding an unnecessary bulk or interfering with light reflections. If you search on Reddit, one of my posts there has a closer photo linked in one of the comments.

I had a PD case on my Pixel 7 Pro for 2 years and the ring never bothered me in the slightest. What does bother me is the slightly thicker bottom bumper which interferes with some USB accessories like the Backbone device. Debating on get a PD case for my Pixel 9 Pro XL now.

@ChrisSchlemmer Thanks for the reply. I'm still waiting for my pixel 9 to arrive but I cant decide on a case lol. Are you considering any other cases for your pixel 9 pro xl.

@@paulflogeras2309 I have a clear MOUS case with magsafe since day one with the 9. It is nice, but I cannot stick it on my fridge like the PD case nor can I use my PD phone mount with it.

@@aliasname5518 Extremely strong. Stronger than any other Magsafe style case I've owned.

@@luke9822 nice!

Nice video. Do you have any other peak design accessories? Is the case worth getting if you don't have any other of thier products. Thanks

​@@paulflogeras2309they have good bicycle and motorcycle mounts that lock in tight. If that doesn't matter to you they are probably over priced

I am very happy with my Elkay workstation sink. Did alot of research and went with Elkay

S no good

The inconsistent and wandering measurements I experienced were well beyond the stated tolerances, as mentioned in the video. The base was not moved or bumped. The strain relief is necessary to keep the vinyl tube from bending or prematurely failing.

We had an almost brand new Kohler touchless faucet from before the major remodel and felt wasteful replacing it even though it does not completely align with our aesthetic.

Exactly I live on a well and these flow restrictors are beyond annoying

@@littlepinkguitargirl oh but it saves water, if it takes 10 minutes to fill a 1 gallon bucket with a restrictor and 1 minute without, that's 10X the savings! (sarcasm)

If you read through all of the comments you might see additional answers to your question, but in short, I chose the Ruvati and have been very happy with the decision. It's holding up well and we use it every day.

Let us know how it works out for you. A 3-tier shelf sounds like options, but it comes down to how it works in practice for how you use a sink, and if the additional ledges end up getting in your way more than they help. If you decide to review for the benefit of others, post a link back here.

@@luke9822 I think I'll like the extra tier. The only disappointing thing about the Kohler is the few included accessories. I'm wondering if the Ruvati accessories will fit the Kohler. The measurements seem to be nearly identical.

I like the Kohler prolific, don't like the sharp radius tub corners, how are you liking the sink overall ?

@@Gregbeck-z2w Out of our entire kitchen remodel, which is 100% convenient and perfect for me, this workstation sink is the one thing I keep wanting to hug. I will never willingly be without one again. Once you get used to moving the racks around, it becomes second nature and makes everything easy and clean. Perfection!

Ruvati is headquartered in Austin, TX. Kraus is headquartered in Port Washington, NY. Both have large facilities in those states. As mentioned in the video and in other comments, the stainless steel used to manufacture the sinks is likely from China. U.S. sourced stainless steel is much more expensive.

@@luke9822 I guess that makes sense, but they actually don't make a single product in America. I feel it's pretty misleading

@@johnsolomita1888 If you visit the "about us" section of the Ruvati site, they will discuss where their products are made. I believe they are made in Texas. I mentioned in the video that workstation sinks made with _U.S.-sourced stainless steel_ were outside the budget of this build. Those typically start at several thousand dollars. U.S. stainless steel isn't cheap. If you are looking for options, look at Rachiele. I believe Haven's Metal is also U.S. steel, but you will have to ask them.

It's holding up well. No major complaints. Just make sure to have a can of Bar Keepers Friend powder and a non-scratch sponge for routine cleanings around, and you'll be good to go.

@@luke9822 awesome thanks you for the tip !! I got mine delivery yesterday.so exciting news

I'm happy with the sink choice and have answered some specific questions in these comments. A super minor quibble is that the bumpers surrounding the bottom grid tend to fall off when cleaning, and can get lost down the drain. You can pick up replacements online and is not that big of a deal. www.amazon.com/Ruvati-Rinse-Grid-Gray-Bumpers/dp/B09SBQCS9C/ Also, I think that a strainer with rounded inside corners would be nice to have vs the squared style they provide, for cleaning purposes. Not a big deal though.

We installed the Ruvati, not the Kraus. We have not had rust issues. 304 stainless steel should not rust with either brand. My guess is that the people who experience initial rust are getting surface rust off something else rusting, which is nothing that some Barkeeper's Friend and a scratch free sponge couldn't easily remove. I wouldn't worry about that.

@@luke9822 Thank you so much for confirming so fast! I don't have a lot of friends or family who are experienced or specialize in sink products. Haha.

Around $200

200 but you have to send it for service every 1 to 2 years

You can call Delta customer service with your faucet model number and they will send it to you. Tell them which flow rate you would like. Look up what options exist by googling your faucet model number + "flow restrictor", or just ask them what options exist.

RTK is not that accurate, 10cm without correction, 1cm if corrected but not 0.01 inch.

I'm not quite sure what your question is. Can you clarify? If it is about how a manometer works - which I believe is how this level operates - the video at this site sort of explains the principal. www.prolevel.com/how-it-works/

I do not believe they are standardized across brands, or even among the same brand in different size sinks. Here's a link to available drying racks: www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=betterthing04-20&keywords=workstation_sink_drying_rack&index=aps&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=ur2&linkId=c4678db061354bd7f72e7e440b479f9b Here's a link to colanders, and some are over sink if you want to simplify and just have it extend over the counter: www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=as_li_qf_sp_sr_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=betterthing04-20&keywords=workstation_sink_replacement_colander&index=aps&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=ur2&linkId=c2927959087b340e544830c69f5e2f1d

@@luke9822 Thanks Luke... quite a few makes, but no consistent widths... 16.75 to 18 inches... I hope that your purchase worked out well. A very impressive sink. I'm just not a stainless steel guy.... thanks for the feedback.

I have not personally seen that sink and cannot remember if it was available at the time. I was unable to accommodate a 32" sink in my base cabinet, so it would not work for us. At the time, I know they did not offer a 30" undermount sink with rounded inside corners. I had suggested that they make such a sink when I reached out to them to confirm that the sink that I purchased would work for mounting underneath.

Just purchased this - not installed yet but it’s beautiful 😍

The cutting board is designing to rest on the inside edge of the workstation like every other workstation item supplied with the sink. It is shorter than the sink and does not extend to rest on the counter. If you prefer a cutting board to rest on your counter, you can buy any cutting board longer than the sink and would not necessary need a workstation sink. It's possible that the sink was slightly tweaked and would straighten if installed with pressure (like if you used a sink strap). It's also possible it was a warped cutting board and you could have them send another one. I didn't diagnose it further because I ended up going with the Ruvati.

We only recently moved into the place this weekend, and in the process of finishing the kitchen the cutting board was damaged by dropping it on the corner on the ground. We were planning on replacing it anyway with a wood color that matched the rest of the maple wood in our kitchen, so we are having another one cut and remade. I'm not sure if it was the cutting board or the sink not perfectly aligning. There was very little play with this Ruvati sink/cutting board setup and it wasn't a big issue.

0:28 It looks like I might not have been as good of a communicator as I had hoped, because the point I was intending to make was that even though these are both "U.S. brands," they are made with Chinese steel, and in fact every brand I found, even if it said Made in U.S.A., was made with Chinese steel - even if it was assembled in the U.S. 0:50 I discuss that there are sinks made with U.S. steel, but those are custom sinks costing thousands of dollars. All of that was a long way of trying to let people know that you can use price to determine if it is _not_ U.S. steel because if you are paying less than a couple thousand dollars, you are buying steel that is not from the U.S. based on my research. If people have done research to show that there are workstation sinks made with U.S. made steel that are not that expensive, please do post the verified information in the comments for everyone's benefit.

Hi Luke - I'm sorry if I misunderstood you. I thought when you said this was a US Brand, you were indicating it was manufactured in the US. I apologize if I just confused people more - not my intention. On a side note - I was also searching for faucets to go with the new sink - (of course). I found this amazing website that has very in-depth, informative reviews of over 250 brands. It lets you pick the brand and read the full detail. They had some good detailed information about the Kraus company. Below is the link if you are interested. It is a great resource for reviews of other products as well. Again, sorry for the confusion. www.starcraftcustombuilders.com/sources.faucets.Kraus.htm

Please delete this comment. He clearly and explicitly said they are made in China. And added that there are other US version costing thousands of dollars too.

He did NOT clearly state that these two brands are made from Chinese steel. He said that “most” of the brands out there are made from Chinese steel except for a few custom manufacturers who use US made steel, and the viewer is left to wonder whether this includes these two brands. So the clarification here and elsewhere is much appreciated. BTW, both Kraus and Ruvati are American companies and Kraus is owned by Delta as of the date of this comment.

do you still like your Kraus? Any rust issues?

It hasn't been used yet because we haven't moved in. That said, it's 16 guage 304 stainless steel, so it should hold up like other similar sinks. We mostly chose it because of the rounded inside corners while still maintaining a modern look.

@@luke9822 Best wishes! Saw a homeowner’s review on the Zuhne ss sink & a year later, no rust, maybe bcuz of softer water. Family isn’t obsessed with cleaning hence they’ll need to replace the bottom grid at some point, but they use Bartender’s cleaner & pleased. Scratches as expected.
