What do you love/hate about your kitchen sink

[Wills]

I'm currently putting together my new kitchen. I really hadn't realised that there was soooo much choice out there. So what's a useful feature and whats useless or simply a gimick not worth going near. Can you really go far wrong with a one half sink in stainless steel with a draining board (what I currently have)

Avoid white at all costs.

I really like my double sink, I use one for washing veg (has a filter plug to catch the veg peelings) and the other for washing up.

Stainless steel.
Shines up beautifully with a brillo pad.

Ours is round, with a round draining board..Don't go there.

It's too small and you can't get drainers to fit.

don't get porcelain ones if you have a titanium ring, they get very scratched (as my basins will tell you)

What's a titanium ring??

we have a white double sink from ikea - love it
never stains
never scratches
v v nice!

think it's porcelain

White - avoid - stains....... give me back my old stainless steel one....
STupid bl**dy plugs that supposedly go up and down by turning a knob - it doesn't...

a ring made of titanium

[bemused]

like a wedding ring or another piece of jewellery

the porcelain doesn't stain!

Ahh, was thinking it was something you were cooking with that you had to wash after

avoid white it stains, even if you bleach it it gets to a stage where its still stained

think carefully about black if you live in a limescale area
stainless steel scratches but that can look nice

wish I'd gone with stainless steel now

get a sink big enough to fit an oven tray in .. nothing more annoying

an extra half-sink is an optional extra (not important IMO)

a great tap is a good investment

draining board necessary ..

Avoid white.

My sink is a stainless steel 11/2 which I have no problems with.

I do however get pissed off with my tap .It is one of these high curved ones,so the water flows from a great height and splashes all over the place.Wish I'd chosen a different tap.

I second avoid white, especially plastic I have one and have to bleach it constantly. I have a lovely new 1.5 stainless sink in the garage waiting to go into my new kitchen with afab tape with an extendable hose and shower type head.

we have a white franke fragranite (99% granite) sink

it was not cheap

avoid like the plague

My mum has a black one, very nice. she says its easy to clean and am considering it myself. It also has a fabfo waste disposal type thing

fabbo noy fabfo

not

wood around it NEVER again....

Have square franke belfast style stainless steel sink and it is great No scratches really and quite deep but wish I had gone for the bigger one but have sold the house now so doesn't matter.Agree re white looks lovely but stains

I have this one .

It's fab - well as fab as a kitchen sink can be . In the corner out of the way - doesn't take up a huge amount of space.

I have a Franke stainless steel 1.5 bowl sink in my new kitchen. It is a vast improvement on the nasty so-called white one that it replaced

We have a white enamel one - love it, looks fab and always comes up sparkling clean, but can get scratched with our metal saucepans (the marks do always bleach out though). Our old stainless steel one looked awful, really stained and water-marked despite all my efforts, but we live in a very hard water area!

well, I simply adore our insinkerator - it's a garbage disposal system and is just fab - any leftovers on plates you just scrape into the sink, shove them down the plughole with the brush and switch on the insinkerator.

We don't have wheeliebins here and have to store our full bin bags in the utility room so this really helps.

I have a left hand drainer & sink next to a right hand drainer & sink (drainer sink sink drainer) so washing up/rinsing is so easy (all S/S)

Stack on the first drainer wash, rinse, drain on the other side - heaven
