Anyone have rust issues with this sink? How long have you had the sink?

I've had mine for about 5 or 6 months and it still looks fantastic. No rust at all.

I have a very small rust spot from leaving a knife in the sink. It let me know right off the bat to keep the dishes cleaned up. I really like the sink, how deep it is and don't mind the encouragement to not have messes.

I've encountered no rust problems as yet. I've had mine for several months and it's been under the patio the entire time.

I'm sure it's not the top of the line stainless, but I've had mine sitting outside for 4 months of winter and no rust on the bottom so far. I do have it covered with a good quality cover. I also drilled a few small holes in the bowl bottom for drainage. For such a low price, and if you keep it covered you, should get your money's worth out of it.

I haven't experienced any issue with rusting. How long have you had it. We've had ours for about 6 months.

I have two Kraus sinks - both with the grates. One sink is nearly 2 years old and the second is 8 months. Neither grate is discolored at this time. I believe the grates are constructed of Stainless Steel material. I have tested them with a strong magnet and they are not attracted to the source. Stainless will not rust, but some grades of stainless can become discolored when exposed to some chemicals and some household chemicals can be extremely strong. I would suggest you contact Kraus for guidance either by phone or email. Dan

Absolutely none and my service for 16 is in daily use. I'm sure I have over exposed it to water on occassion -- but no rust. Love it.

I'm a retired plumber and have seen this happen on stainless sinks because people use metal pads on the sink to clean it,the metal embeds itself in the stainless causing the rust, also low nickle content on cheaper sinks will cause the rusting, hope this helps.

Mine have only been installed for about a month and a half so no rust so far. I don't expect any problems though.

I have had mine since March and so far have not had any rust problems. I am actually going to purchase another one for the shower in my guest bath. Hope this helps.

I would contact them directly for a correct answer. I love mine and I've ha it for two years or so and it's never rusted and it's easy to clean. I'd buy this again. Hope this helps!

i have mine for more than a year and have no complaints. if you want to prevent rust don't clean it in a dishwasher.... this is the only advice i can give

I've had mine for 2.5 years and haven't had an issue with rust. I believe it's possible to leave water in the pot 24/7, but I empty mine every two days and let it "breathe" for a few hours
