Review on πŸ’§ Modern White Undermount Sink for Bathroom - Kraus KCU-251 Elavo, 23 Inch by Colin Zilinskas

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor production quality.

Although the price of this sink is attractive, its size made us buy it. We have purchased other Kraus products with good results. Regarding the following reviews, please note that I have installed dozens of bathtub drains in my life and I am not a newbie. When installing the drain, we noticed that the drain pipe runs slightly downwards. and not plumb. We tried changing the position but the top of the drain didn't sit flat due to an uneven hole and bottom seat in the sink china. As a result, after repeated puffs, the lower rubber seal leaked. They took it apart 2 more times, added plumbing grease, it's still flowing. We then decided to install a better quality brass sink drain with a pressure plug and an overflow feature. He leaked too. We disassembled and overtightened the bottom seal again, in my opinion, pushing hard on the drain and porcelain. It ended up being watertight but I would be concerned about long term reliability with so much pressure on the gasket in the drain. The three holes in the overflow area also appear thinly glazed, which can lead to dirt and difficult cleaning over time.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
