Kichae 28 Drop in Kitchen Sink 28x22 in - Large Single Bowl

Our review of the Kichae 28 drop in kitchen sink finds it best suited to homeowners who need a large, practical basin for heavy cookware and everyday cleanup. The standout reason to consider this model is the combination of a generous single bowl footprint and durable T304 18-gauge stainless steel construction, which makes it useful for washing full-size baking sheets and pots while keeping maintenance relatively simple. Installation is straightforward with the topmount design, so it appeals to DIYers replacing an existing drop-in sink.

Key Features

• Durable construction: The sink is made from dent-resistant T304 stainless steel in 18-gauge, providing strength that holds up to regular kitchen use.
• Large single bowl: The 28 in by 22 in exterior and roomy interior let you soak and clean large cookware and bakeware without juggling items.
• Commercial brushed finish: The satin finish resists visible smudges and makes routine cleaning easier while maintaining a modern look.
• Fast drainage: An X-shaped diversion water design channels water quickly toward the standard 3.5 in drain opening, reducing standing water.
• Easy installation: Drop in topmount installation and included clips and instructions simplify replacing an existing drop-in sink.
• Accessory set included: The sink ships with a roll-up rack, bottom rinse grid, strainer and installation clips to get you started right away.

Who It's For

This sink is ideal for cooks and families who regularly clean large pots, pans, and sheet trays and need a single, unobstructed bowl for soaking and rinsing. It also suits homeowners who prefer a drop-in installation to avoid cabinet modifications and those who value a commercial brushed finish for a professional look.

It may be less appropriate for buyers who require a double-bowl layout for multitasking or those seeking a thicker gauge for extra scratch resistance; some owners report mixed results on scratch durability. If scratch resistance is a top priority, consider a different finish or thicker gauge options.
