Workstation Sinks - KORVO

[Conor]

We want a 800-850mm workstation sink in our kitchen, kitchen is being installed 6th December so need it fairly soon. Due to various reasons, we're finding it hard to find anything in stock that will delivery to Northern Ireland. And a lot are silly prices, £500-£900 kind of range, and not much in stock.

 

We've spotted a KORVO sink on Amazon that ticks most of our boxes and is about half the price of anything else we've looked at. Any red flags? The steel spec looks just the same as a Franke, Grohne etc sink so I'm struggling to see why not?

That's one thing that's missing -a roll up drainer. We'd have to get one somewhere else.

So, the sink arrived yesterday. It's a brute. Seems very solid and good quality. It even includes the waste kit which wasn't advertised. Think we've got ourselves a bargain. The rectangular colander that comes with it seems more like a drainer and will do the job well. I cannot figure out why the hell the same thing from Franke/Grohne is nudging £1k.

Same reason as this.

@Conor interested in this sink too. Can I ask if muck gets into that tiny gap behind the ledge?

[Conor]

@luz624 it's still in its box for another week or two.

@Conor got it - once you give it a real test in the kitchen, I'd love to hear feedback on how you find it

@Conor hello, can I check how you're finding the Korvo sink, if installed now? We are close to choosing ours.

@luz624 still not in yet I'm afraid.

@luz624 had the sink in for a few days now. Have a quooker boiling water tap and an insinkerator waste disposal unit fitted. Love the setup. No issues with the sink, really nice and deep. It does sound a little bit hallow, but I suppose any steel stink that size will. Chopping board and drainer are good quality as well. Has a full waste and trap kit with it, not used it because of the insinkerator, but seems good.
