Undermount 32-in 50/50 Double Bowl Stainless Steel Sink - Quiet

In this review the KRAUS Premier 32-in undermount double bowl sink is assessed for homeowners and renovators who want a durable, low-maintenance kitchen centerpiece. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of heavy-duty 18-gauge stainless steel construction and a wear-resistant brushed finish that resists dents and corrosion while remaining easy to clean; paired with rear-set drains and deep bowls it suits busy kitchens that need both capacity and quiet performance.

Key Features

• 18-gauge stainless steel: Thick, heavy-duty steel resists dents and everyday damage for long-term durability.
• 50/50 double bowl: Two equal deep bowls make multi-tasking simple, letting you soak and prep at once without crowding.
• Undermount installation: Creates a seamless transition to the countertop so crumbs and water wipe directly into the sink for easier cleanup.
• NoiseDefend silencer pads: Large pads on all sides reduce noise and vibration for a noticeably quieter kitchen.
• Rear-set drains: Drain placement increases usable under-sink storage and keeps the sink interior clear of plumbing obstacles.
• Wear-resistant finish: Brushed, non-porous surface and rounded corners resist build-up and are easier to maintain than highly polished finishes.

Who It's For

This sink is ideal for homeowners fitting a 36-in base cabinet who want a practical, durable workhorse with deep bowls for large pans and pots. It fits kitchens where quiet operation matters and where under-sink storage is valued, thanks to the rear-set drains and equal 50/50 split.

It is less suited for buyers who need an integrated disposal (disposal models sold separately) included out of the box or who require a single extra-large basin. Also, those seeking decorative, high-polish designer finishes may prefer a different line.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid build quality from heavy-duty 18-gauge stainless steel that customers describe as feeling substantial.
• Deep 8 1/4-in bowls handle large bakeware and reduce splash, making kitchen tasks easier.
• Includes drain assemblies with removable strainers and hardware so installation is more straightforward.
• Quiet operation thanks to large silencer pads and full insulation on the underside.

Cons

• Requires a minimum 36-in cabinet which may not suit very small kitchens.
• Some buyers expecting a dedicated disposal kit will need to purchase the compatible disposal separately.
