Has any one had problems with the "easy mount" on a SS sink? The cushion mount slipped out of the mount ring on the second day.Is vibration a problem?

See the youtube video called "Waste King Garbage Disposal EZ mount system" and/or the video "How to Easily Purchase & Install a "Waste King" Garbage Disposal from Amazon.com". You need to fit the rubber ring properly. Put the hard, screw-on, silver ring on first. Then the black rubber ring. Lift the silver ring up and out of the way so you can fit the rubber ring INTO THE GROOVE ON THE DISPOSAL and then let the silver ring drop back down on top of the rubber ring.

The sink has no undercoating but does have pads. We have purchased one for one house and came back and purchased for another house. Best is the clean design lines and the fact that there is no "hump" for a drop in mount. Agree that the only drawback are the corners to clean.

Daily use sink got some water & scratch marks, I just use dish soap & green Scotch pad then wipe dry.still very happy with this sink, reasonable price & other pricy SS sinks not as deep as this one.

I have it under mounted in my kitchen where it has been working quite well. Bear in mind, the sink is uncommonly deep and so things must be carefully measured. The plumber and I had to do some last minute re-jiggering but all work for the best. It's a very good, attractive sink but must be expertly under mounted.

I have since moved from the house in which I installed this sink (but I do plan to get another one for the new house) so I will try to answer from my memory. I am not exactly sure what you are asking, but I mounted this as an undermount, and all of the interior surfaces and corners were smooth. The rim (that was mounted under the counter) had angles on the edges, but the sink bowl itself was rounded and smooth. The profile of the sink bottom if you looked down at it from above was similar to the cross-section of a gumdrop - a dome at the top and a flat bottom, with slightly rounded corners at the bottom. Is that helpful? Did I not understand your question properly?

I don't have this issue, but check around where it snaps down, is anything in the way (tall screw head, etc)? Is the seat positioned correctly? Worst case, if you call Kohler and explain the issue, they usually fix your problem. Which may include shipping you a new seat. I have 3 of these in my house, and all work great for me.

I just tried this on my SS kitchen sink ( we have very hard water) I'm not prepared to recommend this product for SS. However I highly recommend for Fine silver tableware, copper, brass etc

Ihave had my sink since april and i love it...no scrathes or problems..i just wash it out with soap and water....i do not have a garbage disposal with this sink because we compost here in seattle and it is not needed and took up too much space under the sink. When i had a garbage disposal in my other double sink i put it in the smaller sink and wouldn't know why you would put it under the larger...the small sink worked great. I am really happy with my new sink

Hi: If you are using a vessel sink, it is a good idea to use the mounting ring. It keeps the sink off the counter top, it is aesthetically pleasing and it helps to clean under the sink. The vessel sink sits on top of the mounting ring. As far as an overflow is concerned, you would use a drain with overflow only if your sink has an overflow. It depends entirely on the type of sink you are using. Usually, vessel sinks do not have an overflow, whereas under mount and drop in sinks do. So I suggest you check your sink. Hope this helps. I will add that this is a very good quality drain. I have two in my house. Thanks. Hi: If you are using a vessel sink, it is a good idea to use the mounting ring.

I replaced the mounting assembly even though I didn't need to. Either would have worked. I had a new sink with a very old disposal. I am barely qualified to change a light bulb and found the process easy. I used nothing but screwdrivers, pliers, and the wrench that came with the unit as the old plug, gaskets, clamps, and pipes hooked up to the new unit without a problem.

I'm not sure because I don't have a sink to test it. But when I did have a stainless sink,I used SoftScrub and it wasn't bad.

When this sink was orginally installed by the plumber they left it sitting on the granite. It moved fairly easily. I called my plumber back because I was worried that the sink moving would damage the pipes. He applied clear silicone caulk to hold it in place. It does not move at all and you cannot see the caulk.

I have the grate that came with it in almost all the time, but I think it may scratch and show marks easily because it is so shiny. It is a much nicer SS sink than I have ever had before and I think it cleans very easily with sponge made for non-stick pans and dish detergent. I am so much happier with this sink than my old Corian sink that stained easily and I couldn't put hot pans in.

I installed the sink/faucet. They work very well. My wife and I HAVE NOT encountered any loud noises when turning the water on - in fact our faucet runs rather quietly. Has anyone encountered the sink not fitting flat, having a slight wobble/turn? Thanks

I did have a problem early where the mount cracked at this point after a short period of use. The effected part was promptly replaced under warranty. When I replaced it, it did not feel too snug but it was a snug fit. I would not directly force if you feel its too snug. My recommendation would be to put some hard soap on the threads (scrape on a soap bar), then turn the screws into the mount slowly. Back them out a turn, and then screw in two, back out a turn and screw in two, repeat until the bottom of the shrew head is at the top of the metal.

I have had my sink installed since March 29, 2013 and I have no problems as of yet. This is located in a half bath on the main floor of my home which gets used on a daily basis. Not sure if this helps you or not.
