Purchased to go with my Kraus workstation apron front granite sink. My old Kraus sink in my last kitchen came with this basket strainer, and it was the absolute best kitchen sink strainer drain. Such a good design! Washed well, handled piles of water, tea, icecubes, food bits. Caught everything so it didnt go down my pipes. Was easy to scrub clean and never dented or cracked. Never came loose. Excellent drain assembly for a kitchen sink.My new Kraus apronfront sink had the option of very beautiful, and matching black colour, Kraus strainer drain assembly, but it doesnt have the useful basket design that catches all the food particles!! Function beats pure aesthetics, every single time, so I ordered this steel basket strainer instead.The last one looked great and worked great with 6 years of heavy daily use ( the Kraus granite sink as well) and I am looking forward to many years without issue of this basket strainer drain on my new Kraus sink in my new house.

Easy to install, I was able to do it myself without having to go out and buy anything or know a whole lot about plumbing. It works great for us, catches all the items that fall into the sink, and we can just dump whatever is in the basket into compost. Love it, didn't realize how much we needed it until we got it :)

this one is superb to the original Kraus basket. original was plastic and very, very horribly made. Original cost me the entire kitchen sink cabinet because it leaked since day one and ruined my cabinet. This one was cheaper and installed way easier, has yet to leak after 2 months.Basket is deeper and easier to remove. Overall I would recommend.

Very happy with the quality of these basket strainers. I find that using these terrific low cost upgrades found on Amazon add those little luxury touches to the home.

Quality is not high for the cost. Basket design is not great, the holes are too bag, so food gets past strainer and leads to clogs. Basket diameter is also atypical, so it is hard to find a replacement basket.

I purchased this to use with my Blanco super deep silgranit sink. LOVE this strainer. The basket is perfect and can hold a lot of material before needing me to empty it or give it a shake to keep draining. GET THIS

Great idea....Enhances any sink.... Provides a removable stainless steel basket to catch all solids to save blocking up the plumbing. Does not need to be a Kraus sink - works well with other brands

This thing is awesome! I love how it catches all the food debris so I can just empty it into my compost bin! Saves our drains and septic system!I installed on a Kraus sink so had no issues with it.

This is a must have for any kitchen. This is super easy to use the large basket collects all your debris so it doesn’t run down the drain. I’m not one that wants a garbage disposal. They usually have an odor this eliminates that issue don’t put in the garbage disposal.I use this to help collect the debris. This is a top-notch quality use the added cover when you want to hold water in the sink. It has a good water retention and we’ll stay there till you’re ready to release it.This is very sturdy. I had my first one for eight years with no issue at all. We just opted to get another new one with a new sink. This is a great value for the money. I’ll have one of these on my sink alwaysMy contractor came back and saw the house after he built. It couldn’t believe what a great idea this was. Get one for your kitchen sink. It’s very easy to install or to have a plumber install you won’t be sorry.

After buying a set of "stainless steel" strainers on Amazon last year (no longer sold here thankfully), only to have both completely fall apart in less than a year, I decided I wanted a quality product to go along with my new kitchen faucet. Was hesitant at first about the cost of these, but after seeing how the other ones held up, I ordered these. Night and day difference from the previous set. They look and feel quality, and are true stainless steel. They capture everything from going down the drain and to the septic tank. They look expensive installed and are something that no one else I know has, which is an added bonus. Doubt that will be the case for long though, because everyone who sees them just goes on about how nice they are and want to know where I found them! Highly recommend.

After not finding the right basket strainer at any of the local B&Ms, I was pleased to find this on Amazon with such high reviews. I must say, after installing this in the smaller side of my stainless 30 / 70 kitchen sink I am extremely impressed with the fit, finish, and function.It not only looks better than a standard strainer, but the deep well of the basket allows for the collection of more food debris. The internal basket resembles that of a small pasta colander.The install was very exact and the fit was perfect.

As other reviewers have stated, this drain assembly is quite deep. I am installing this on the smaller side of an offset, double-bowl sink. Since that side is also not as deep, this assembly works bring the level almost down to the other side. This is a three piece assembly: 1) drain, 2) strainer basket, 3) stopper.The assembly is well constructed. It comes with a large, plastic retaining ring (shown in the manufacturer's picture in grey)and both foam and rubber gaskets. The threads that the retaining ring fits to are plastic as well but are sturdy. I am not afraid that I will strip the threads at all hand tightening the retaining ring. The drain threads are also plastic and are well built. The stopper is the same stainless steel as the drain. There is a rubber gasket on the underside that creates the water stop. The strainer basket is stainless steel with a small metal hoop to pick it up out of the drain.Pros:This is really an attractive looking addition to a stainless steel sink. The stopper is much nicer than the plain black, plastic stoppers that I have seen come with drain assemblies and adds a sleek look to the sink. I also like that the assembly comes with a separate stopper compared to the baskets that you have to press down to stop water flow.Cons:I did have a slight problem with the included basket. The little hoop attaches only by pressure by protruding through holes on either side of the basket. As it does, it stops the basket from completely sitting into the drain. I will have to bend these up to allow for clearance to sit in the drain properly. I could also remove it completely but then I would have to work at getting the basket out whenever I need to remove it. I will update once I have modified the basket.Overall, I am pleased that I purchased this. It was roughly $10 less than the drain assemblies that I looked at from my local hardware stores and those had the integrated basket/stoppers instead of the separate ones that came with this one. Even if I wind up not using the included basket, this is far better looking than ANY that I have seen in the stores for the money. Given that I have remodeled my entire kitchen, it would be a shame to stop paying attention to the little details that complete the look of a kitchen.UPDATED 6-17-2013:Modifying the handle on the basket was a simple process. I used a grinding wheel to take off a bit of the end of the handle so that it wouldn't scratch the drain when inserted or removed. The same could be accomplished with a metal file or a Dremel attachment. We've been using the drain now for over 6 months and are very happy with it.
