Will it rust?
Zuhne sinks are made exclusively from solid surgical-grade ultra-performance rust and corrosion proof stainless. Your sink is protected against rust over it's lifetime. If a rust-prone item such as a cast iron pan is left in the sink in standing water, the pan will deposit rust on the sink. This is not permanent and can be removed with a standard stainless cleaner. In areas with extremely hard water, wipe the sink dry for the night. Refer to the sink care flyer included with your Zuhne purchase and see how a few seconds a day is all you need to keep your sink sparkling and hygienic forever.
Will it scratch?
Any stainless sink, regardless of make, is prone to scratch marks. Use scratch protector bottom grate (included) to minimize this. Scratch marks blend in with sink grains and tone down naturally over time. You may choose to ‘fast fade’ these marks by buffing along the direction of the grains. A Zuhne sink is not only a piece of jewelry for your kitchen but also a restaurant-grade heavy lifting workhorse. We invite you to use it as such - with total peace of mind.
Will it drain fast enough?
Our sinks feature grooved or sloped base for faster water and residue drain. Ensure sink is installed level and plumbing trap/line is unblocked.
Is this genuine 16 Gauge?
Unlike 99% of the brands on Amazon, Zuhne is directly listed with US and Canada 3rd party certifying bodies. We use uniform 16 Gauge top to bottom, inside out. Most brands advertise thick decks to mask thin bodies. Not us.
Why Zuhne?
Zuhne is an award-winning American owned and operated company. We are also one of the fastest growing kitchen sink brands in N. America (CBP Data 2015-2019). Zuhne sinks have outperformed traditional brands in every blind test. From the moment you unbox our world class packaging to finding your sink sparkling even after 20 years of use, the Zuhne experience is different.
“I am a contractor who installs sinks for a living – Zuhne sinks are far superior to any brand I have seen in my 30 years on the job.”
“They answered my call in the first go and a wonderful rep handled my queries with utmost professionalism.”
“The look of the sink alone made it worthwhile but then there was the quality. Not jarringly shiny like the sink I replaced. Rather a soft, soothing glow that blended right in with our appliances. Easy to maintain. No pings from wares moving in the sink. So quiet I can run the garbage disposer without waking up my toddler.”

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Design - This is subjective for everyone but this sink is really sharp looking. It's deep at 10 inches. Add in the 3 cm thickness of my granite counter tops and you get an overall depth of 11 1/4 inches. That's something to think about for shorter people and kids. The sink this replaced was a Corian molded in double sink. That was just 9 inches deep. 2 1/4 inches doesn't sound like much but it creates a whole different feel to the sink.
Speaking of double sinks, I hated that thing. The wall in the middle of the two sink basins just ate up space and made each basin less useful. For me, a single basin sink is just so much more useful when it comes to washing big pots and pans or stacking up dishes after a dinner party.
The corners have just enough radius on them that you can easily clean the sink with your finger pushing on a sponge. But it looks very modern, not like the stainless sinks you had as a kid with big rounded corners and a big radius where the side walls meet the bottom. This has more of a square look to it with almost right angles where the sides meet. It's sharp looking. The finish is brushed rather than polished which should cut down on the visibility of scratches and keep it looking good as it ages. As shown in the photos for the Amazon listing, it also comes with a stainless steel rack that provides protection for the bottom of the sink. The rack comes with rubber feet for the bottom and rubber bumpers that install around the perimeter so the rack doesn't scratch the sink either. They also include a little bag of replacement rubber bumpers for the rack. There is liberal sound deadening material attached to 5 sides of the sink. The sink is totally dead acoustically. As in, water hitting it doesn't create any "drum" effect nor does setting down a pot or coffee cup. It's pretty much silent.
Materials - The 16 gauge stainless steel is heavy. The installer remarked about the weight when he first picked it up. Compared to the usual 18 gauge sinks you'll find at Home Depot this sink is heavier, more rigid and should resist dents a lot better. My personal advice is to steer clear of 18 gauge sinks. I didn't use the provided drain assembly because I have the sink hooked up to a garbage disposal which requires it's own proprietary drain unit. The sinks drain hole is standard size and the disposal unit went in without a hitch. But the provided drain assembly is also of high quality. And I'm not sure what material they used for sound deadening but it works really well.
Fabrication - The sink arrived in flawless condition. The finish inside the sink was perfect. No dents or dings or scratches. The sink itself came wrapped in a non woven fabric bag. Everything was plumb and square, nothing bent. It installed without a hitch.
As for the reviews that comment on scratches. Yeah even high quality stainless steel is gonna do that. While steel is hard, it's exactly the same hardness as your stainless steel silverware or pots and pans. They will scratch each other. A ceramic dish or cup is even harder than steel. More brittle, more fragile, but harder. Ceramic will scratch steel. You can be careful but I just accept the fact that any sink is going to scratch. It gains character with age.
As for the reviews that are lamenting water spots or rust spots, guess what? Stainless steel does that too. It has to do with your local water and it's hardness (mineral content) and acidity (pH). Chemistry will not be denied. As others have said, keep a bottle of Bar Keeper's Friend under the sink and give it a polish once a month. One bottle will probably last you 10 years.
And before you go running for Corian molded in sinks, let me tell you that's what I just ripped out. They are horrible. Ours was molded in white. Dump a cup of coffee, tomato sauce, coffee grounds, red wine, or certain fruits in the sink and you have instant staining that looks disgusting. That required scrubbing with a bleach based cleaner about 4 days per week to keep it from looking like a sink in a ghetto apartment. It was a big reason for my move to granite and stainless steel.
Want a granite sink? Expensive, extremely heavy requiring special installation, and the most labor intensive to maintain. No thanks.
I'm really happy with this sink. I can't really think of anything I'd change. Of all the materials out there, a good quality stainless sink is my favorite.
The Zuhne 28" model fit nicely in my 30" cabinet and looks great. I was concerned that the smaller sink would be noticeably smaller than my previous 33" double basin but having the extra depth with and one large basin there is plenty of room to fit any dish of pot we have. I'm happy with the size.
The extra depth along with our goose neck faucet means there is a lot if distance for the water to travel before hitting the bottom of the sink. This results in some splash back which can spray back out of the sink. Keep this in mind when selecting a faucet. Ours has a pull out head so we often pull the faucet out a bit and hang it lower to eliminate the spray. Or just don't turn the faucet on full blast. Also not a big concern and not the fault of the sink so no negative rating due to that.
The sink seems to drain ok. At first we had some spots that seemed to collect a little standing water. The installers used a belly strap (2x4 under the sink to support the wait) which I thought might be causing this sink to flex up and not drain properly. But the sink is so sturdy I don't think the belly strap is affecting it. This was concerning at first but after using it for a while and cleaning the sink out with some stainless steel cleaner we found the drainage improved. Perhaps cleaning the inside affected the surface tension allowing the water to drain out better? Not really sure. Still monitoring this since we have only been using the sink a short while. If the drainage issues return or continue to be an issue I will update my review but for now I think it's a non-issue.
The sink seems to scratch easily and we didn't like the rubber mats that come with the sink to protect it. Water seemed to get trapped under the mats and we were concerned that could damage the sink or cause other issues. I would recommend putting something in the bottom to protect it, but we have just been using it without the mats and being careful until we find something to protect the bottom. From other reviews I've read I imagine this isn't any different than any number of other stainless steel sinks so it didn't affect our rating. The scratches are minor but noticeable when looking for then. It would have been nice if the sink came with a metal grate to protect the bottom like other sinks I've seen.
Overall this is a very nice sink. Looks great, solid construction, great insulation, and good size. Less than perfect drainage and fairly easy to scratch surface are my only complaints but still think this sink deserves 4.5-5-star rating. Would still highly recommend.
Will it really is that good. Great quality, looks awesome, well insulated, good accessories and all for less money.
It drains well from all areas, I have the 36" sink and it's massive and water still told to the drain. Food particles can be sprayed or wiped easily to drain.
Can't say that I am going to dry wipe it out after each use like the directions say, but for us a sink is a functional work area not a kitchen show piece.
The rack on the bottom is good for helping with contact and reducing scratches and helps the draining process. The colander and trays are long enough to reach across the sink width.
Installation was easy and shipping was quick and the unit was well packaged.
I will follow up in a few months to update the review. But for now I would highly recommend this Zuhne sink.
