What makes the KRAUS KBU22E such an amazing kitchen sink?

Even if you are newly acquainted with kitchen hardware, you might still be aware of Kraus and their fantastic range of products. The KBU22E is the latest in their lineup of modern kitchen sinks which boasts a variety of unique features.

The KBU22E double bowl sink is one of their finest when it comes to having a unique and versatile design to fit every kitchen decor, which can either be traditional or modern.

Defined primarily by its quality, the KBU22E comes with the best in industry NoiseDefend Technology. It keeps the sink soundproof while giving it a protective coating at the same time.

Let’s take a look at some of its more unique features that make the Kraus so popular.

Rust and corrosion resistant

Stainless steel is by far the most popular material used in kitchen sinks, and it is not surprising why. Stainless steel is famous for being cheap and one of the most durable cores for sink design. And the KBU22E uses the T304 type of stainless steel that grants it exceptional resistance to corrosion and rust.

This TRU16 real 16 gauge construction is fantastic when it comes to sturdiness; it makes the sink surface 1.5mm thick which contributes a lot to its durability and long lasting nature. And with their trademark MicroShieldTM, the sink is made extremely resistant to daily wear and tear and prevents damage that could possibly age your sink.

Optimal design for everyday use

In our experience, there are a lot of modern sinks that disappoint when it comes to drainage. But with user convenience in mind, the KBU22E comes with a gently sloped bottom, which improves drainage and does not allow standing water inside the bowl.

With the ideally curved corners, the sink is extremely easy to clean with just the wipe of a cloth and low concentration cleaning agents. The gently curved slope and the double bowl design ensures that the sink has a classic build that suits every kitchen decor.

Modern and innovative build

If your current sink is giving you problems with garbage disposal, then the Kraus KBU22E can indeed turn out to be an ideal alternative.

With a 26 oz grinding chamber that is equipped with a galvanized steel grind system and a 1/2 Horsepower Dura-Drive Induction Motor, the KBU22E goes through the toughest trash effortlessly.

Additionally, the Power Cord Kit can be installed easily with the help of a three-foot UL listed cord strain relief clamp and wire connectors. The sink even comes with installation instructions as well.

Where does the KRAUS KBU22E fail to meet our expectations?

Stainless steel is an affordable core material that is not just durable but extremely corrosion and damage resistant as well. But it loses out on much of its grandeur when it comes to water stains. Percolated water, if not dried out can stain the steel surface and make it lose a lot of its luster.

Additionally, stainless steel has a silvery metallic finish which may suit a variety of kitchen decors, but for the washroom or the living space, it is an ill-fit.

To Conclude

With powerful grinding and fantastic versatile features, the Kraus KBU22E is guaranteed to meet all your kitchen sink demands and more. And at an affordable, pocket-friendly price it can be the perfect replacement for your old and worn out sink.

We hope our review today helped you out with your choices.

Till next time!
