BLANCO, White 522429 PRECIS SILGRANIT Single Bowl Undermount Kitchen Sink

Purchased this sink for a total kitchen remodel, ended up returning it over a stainless steel sink, but keep reading, as it was a very close decision. Overall this sink was very impressive, and if it weren't for the difference in size, I think I would have gone for this over the stainless one.When the first one arrived, it had a large crack in the corner. THIS IS COMMON FOR ALL composite sinks apparently I have read, because they are rock hard, are more prone to being dropped during shipment, but once installed, they are much tougher than steel. This is because steel is somewhat flexible, and will "bounce" when dropped. Be prepared to have to return and exchange it, do not plan the delivery so close to installation that this will cause issues if it's broken.I had tested the broken model by taking a steel pot and whacking it much much harder against the sink than any drop impact the sink will ever have to face. There was the slightest hint of a scratch left behind, but it rubbed out and went mostly away with pretty much 0 damage. You will be very hard pressed to ever dent, or chip this ever.I cracked an egg, poured concentrated bleach, and chocolate milk over separate parts of the bowl and let dry for a couple hours. No color bleached out, no stains set in, everything wiped away with just a little water and a rag.A pretty unimpressive, average knife was run along the bowl, not very hard, but the tip being dragged across the bowl did leave a trace of a scratch. This is probably the area that worries me the most, but unless you are purposely trying to scratch it, I don't think would need to be worried about too much.Overall I was very impressed, and if I weren't limited by my 30" sink cabinet, and had more options available to me, probably would have went with the composite. But because the 27" stainless that's available on Amazon from Frigidaire, is 2" deeper, and about a good inch longer (depth going tword the wall) I would have probably stuck with this one.

I was very worried when shopping for a black kitchen sink for our kitchen remodeling project. I read horrible reviews on other brands before stumbling on this BLANCO sink. It still looks nice and new despite being heavily used. The best part is that it has doesn’t scratch at all. I’m extremely happy for this purchase.

Arrived in perfect condition, installed easily. However, it didn't come with a template for the countertop cutout. The counter top contractor we hired said that while most sinks come with the cutout, BLANCO typically doesn't provide one. He measured it as best he could, but had to guess at the radius size in the corners so it doesn't perfectly match now, something no one but me notices, but still. I'm overall very pleased with the sink.Couple of things I wish I would have known ahead of time: the black color makes every little piece of food show up obviously in the bottom of the sink compared to our old stainless sink. Also, the sink didn't come with a flange for mounting the drain/garbage disposal so we ended having to use our old one which is a regular silver stainless steel color. Our garbage disposal uses a different style mounting flange, and it doesn't seem to be available in black.

The sink is really pretty. However, after only having it installed one month, we dropped a sharp knife and the tip took a chip out of the bottom. From all the good stuff we had read, we were very disappointed. It’s an under mount sink, covered with a gorgeous slab of granite, so we’re not going to be able to replace it.4 years later: Still hate this sink and how careful we have to be. A sink is not supposed to be fragile. The little chip repairs are terribly time consuming.

Love the quality, but wish it had more slope front to back and side to center to clear out sink. Nice color and easy to maintain.

Sink looks great with my stainless steel appliances, hasn't a scratch or a spot after three months, and is easy to clean. This sink isn't stainless steel, but the color looks great with stainless steel. I'd read so many reviews about stainless steel sinks that got scratched almost immediately from something that wasn't even scratchy, or got rusty looking spots in a few days, or water didn't flow to the drain properly, or something else bad, and I worried that I'd never find a good kitchen sink to go with my new stainless steel appliances. But I kept looking a long time and I found this one and I love it!

We purchased a Blanco sink when they first arrived on the scene about 7 years ago. A little skeptical at first because we thought it was not durable.BUTit turned out to be the best sink. Did not scratch or dent like stainless and was much easier to clean. To give you an idea, we installed the sink then remodeled the house. SO... the sink became a utility sink. Paint brushes and paint everywhere on the sink surface. And it stayed that way for a long period of time. A mild solution of soft scrub and a utility sponge was all it took to make it new again.So this sink is our second sink. We decided to purchase this one because it was their new product line. The remodel of our new home is ongoing but the sink has not been installed as of yet. The new one has a little smoother surface and seems a little lighter. So we will comment as the remodel continues.Easy to install and a functional template for cutting hole.Excellent quality.

The product is beautiful and this vendor got me the product 3 days ahead of schedule. The product was well packaged and came undamaged. I told this vendor I had the problem with the last sink I ordered and I needed ASAP in time for countertop installation. The new vendor got me the product ahead of schedule and it came well packaged and undamaged. Bravo!
