Every time I see one there is lettuce being washed. So if you eat a lot of lettuce then go ahead. Deep wide single bowl is all I have and I never thought that I needed anything else.

Right angle/sharp corner sink basins can DIAF. No idea whether I'd use the the vegetable rinser. I do really want a glass cleaner spray attachment, but you can buy those separately.

I thought about one of these but realized that anything other than a really expensive one was bound to have issues. I am looking at those push switches for starters. Then I remembered all my friends with high-end appliances that have problems with those (looking at you Viking) and realized I better just get a normal sink.

that's what I'm thinking too. There's not a single one listed on Amazon with a name you can pronounce because they're all from China.

Like someone else said, the coolest thing on it (to me) is that glass washer and I can find those for sale on Amazon that just mount next to the sink. That's what I am doing with my next build out.

Or... I could just keep using the brush doo hickey I have that has dish soap in the handle. That things works great too.

Cheap Chinese junk that'll have you wishing you went simple. Avoid.

I bought one of the Amazon ones, did away with the built in soap dispenser we never used, and put it in that hole. It's one of my favorite kitchen gadgets and I don't think I'll own another kitchen without one, I use it multiple times a day. I plumbed it to cold water but have been meaning to swap it over to the hot water side soon.

That is some ridiculous overkill right there. But what do I know. I love my single deep composite sink with no dang divider.

They look like more trouble than they’re worth.

I have a 42 inch kohler galley sink with integrated cutting board and containers to place chopped vegetables in.

It has a frat raised shelf to thaw frozen meats on and two faucets.

It was expensive, but it doesn't have electronic gadgets that seem to not be a good idea around constant moisture, that will likely fail at some time.

Works well for me.

Interesting all the positive comments for the glass rinser. I figured that was the most useless part, as it seems to be something the faucet can accomplish easily already.

What am I missing?

Our new counters we only have one hole for the faucet. Our old counter had a soap dispenser and it broke. I could have replaced it but decided not to and to not make a hole for it.

Can always make a hole later if we really need one but you can't remove one.

same

What the hell are y'all putting in your glasses that need a power scrub before hitting the dishwasher?

It's the power of the jet and the fact the glass is upside down during the rinsing, gets those things spotless in a heartbeat for re-use. Ever been to a brewery where they do that between beers?

I often want to re-use glasses, especially for cocktails. Two down pushes and it's brand new.

Also, my kids leave OJ and milk and crap like that in glasses all over the house and it helps with that.

Yep, works great for cleaning baby bottles for our little one instead of having to bust out the bottle brush as well. Or a coffee cup that had residue dry up, I can blast is real quick with the glass rinser and get it right out instead of having to hit it with a sponge, etc, plus keep my hands clean/dry while doing so.

Honestly I thought they were useless at first too until I installed ours, it's come in way handier than I thought it would.

MFing this! Nearly flat bottom in ours makes it always scummy and food tends to hang up there.

We just finished a kitchen remodel and went with a simple, nice 33 inch single basin stainless. You really don't need anything else.

We used this one. Looks great and works like a big sink should...
