Did anyone have issues with scratching? Similar sinks have drain issues but they also have scratching issues. How about this one?

It was the one that was made by same manufacturer, VIGO. I actually bought them both at same time. It has rubber feet on it so everything drains well. You will be very happy with both pieces. Great quality.

I bought the wire mesh drainer that fits from corner to corner down in the sink. It works great. No scratches for me! However, I would think without any kind protection it would scratch over time.

Our sink is nearly two years old, and we're a family of eight, so it gets a LOT of use. It has an accumulation of hairline scratches on the floor of the sink, and much fewer on the sides. I think that's just what stainless steel does. There are no deep gouges or dents. It's very heavy-duty stainless steel.

Over time, every stainless sink we've owned has scratched. You can polish them out, but it requires a fair amount of work.

All stainless steel will scratch through use...it's part of the charm and character. I love my sink! Especially since it was so economical and comparable in quality to much more costly "brand" name sinks.

No, BKF is good for cleaning but doesn't remove scratches. I don't think any cleaner will. Scratches are the downside of any stainless steel sink, no matter how good the quality. Some people use the bottom grids to avoid scratching. I know one person who buffs her sink with very very fine sandpaper and mineral oil (I've not tried this and am not suggesting it!)

Alex, I am very sorry to hear that you are having trouble. We bought our sinks for a new home and we have not progressed to the point of installing bathroom fixtures and it a couple months away. I hope you find a solution and, if so, please post your findings. Good luck.

I've had mine for almost nine months now and only found one tiny rust spot in my sink where the rubber bumper twisted around and the rack was exposed to the stainless steel sink. From that point on, I always make sure that the rubber bumpers are facing down where the rack rests on the sink bottom and haven't experienced any rust stains since. This is a great product and has saved my sink from many scratches!

I haven't found it to be a problem. I get so any compliments on this sink. Hope you will enjoy yours.

I haven't had any issues with scratches. I'm not using Comet etc just baking soda. I LOVE this sink. Yes, the pitch should be more so it drains better but I will never go back to a two compartment sink again.

Hi! I have not noticed any scratches on my sink, although it is not a very new one. And I have looked for the "metal feet" and they do not look like metal to me. I am very happy with them, event though I would have liked it they were a little less flexible. But so far, so good!

I am not bothered by water spots on this faucet. I don't think mine is especially bad looking. It's a work horse. I do probably clean my sink every other day.....but I am not a neat freak or cleaning fanatic. Still love this faucet. Don't use brillo on anything stainless steel - it will scratch it. However you can use a FINE steel wool on stainless steel sinks. It will make it look like brand new. Don't rub really hard in any one spot.

I can tell you that the one sink leaks and they have sent us a new sink to install. Not real happy with the quality . Door damaged, wanted to send us a repair kit! I demanded a new door . Wants us to apply silicone every 3 years for leak but we are going to change sink out. I believe the whole counter top would be easier to remove than just a sink. It is a very heavy unit as a whole. The sinks are not typical size so if you remove counter top I would suggest getting new sinks also.

That is correct. We've had ours almost 3 years now and have had absolutely no problems with this sink. Known others who had one for a lot longer period than us and never had a problem.

Basically any stainless sink or priceline surface sink are easily scratch. This sink does have a surface facing the person who is using it. If you have a big belt buckle, lose the belt. If you want the farmhouse look, you probably need to live with it.

We have not had any problem with scratching. We use the pan for lasagna and use a knife to cut lasagna in pan and have had no problems. The finish has kept the shine.

It has dawned on me that maybe the reason you aren't getting good results...is old porcelain layered on metal. It may have worn thru to base ?Just a reminder that sinks are one of our least expensive items to replace in kitchen :) Un-less you desire one of those top of the line "farm sinks".Anyway, good luck...just thoughts I wanted to share.

I have never used the sink without the wire mesh insert so for me it has never been scratched. The sides are scratch free as well. Its a great sink.

I have not noticed scratches as it is stainless. I do not throw pots and pans into the sink but I expect to see normal wear from daily use. Bottom grid keeps the sink bottom looking like new.

It drains alright but you'll have to spray debris down the drain... It also scratches easily, but they can be taken out with a scotch pad. It's beautiful and I'm happy with it, but there is some effort involved.

I don't have any scratches in mine but I keep the grates down all the time. My sink get used a lot too!
