    Omg...you are a miracle worker...I never thought anyone could ever convince me to buy a single basin -- until now! ☺️ Thank you so much for your thorough, thoughtful, "relevant" critique! It actually means a whole lot with you coming from a double-basin household like I did. 😄

    Yes, this video is 4 years old, but you gave me even more reasons to look forward to my future large basin sink.
    In our next house that we’re moving to in a few weeks, there is no dishwasher. The only place we can fit one has room for an 18 inch, not a regular size.
    I have a collapsible, plastic tub that I thought I would use in our camper, but I don’t use it.
    Your idea about the tub was something I hadn’t thought of! The smaller dishwasher perhaps won’t seem so small now.

    • @eyeonit469
      @eyeonit469 3 роки тому

      I move alot, and if there is a double sink in the house, it is ripped out before I even hang up the clothes. Don't know how people can waste so much time trying to soak or clean and rinse a frying pan never mind cookie sheets or roasters. There are large singles with 12" second sink if you have a garberator or like the freedom of that second access to the taps but once you have a large single, you never go back

    I was like you - ALWAYS had a double basin sink and washed dishes with soapy water on one side and rinsed in the other. After recently getting new countertops, I still went with double sinks but they installed really DEEP sinks that came with grates (extra maintenance - have to scrub the grates at least once a week🙁). I’ve always stacked dirty dishes on countertops but hate the way that looks. Recently, I’ve started putting a few dishes in the sink and squirting dish soap on the dishes and using a hand held scrubber sponge and then rinsing and it goes by so much faster than the 9ld way. I can finally see the benefit of using a big single basin tub. Too late for me, but I totally.y agree with all of your points. Your kitchen remodel is beautiful. I really like your faucet and that you put marble where your faucet goes - very clever!

  • @denisereed2195
    @denisereed2195 4 роки тому +4

    I actually have a two basin stainless sink with, what I'll call 1/4 and 3/4 split of the basin size. It was purchased at a big hardware chain over 20 years ago. Everything but my biggest cooking sheet will fit in to soak and we still have the other side to drain cooking water or run a different temp to fill a water bottle etc. I also have a dishwasher, and it sounds like I sink wash my big stuff similar to you. However, I never see sinks configured like that anymore (I've seen 2/3, 1/3 available mail order but, you loose that big basin). Like you, in our camper I also use a wash tub. So if I ever need to replace my sink, you convinced me to go big! TFS

    I love your sink. I have moved into a 1965 ranch home with tiny double sinks. I'm getting ready to start gutting it. I've been hunting for the perfect single sink. I like the lip that is on yours that hold the cutting board... but I also love your windows!! Glancing over at my kitchen from the couch, I can absolutely see a bay of windows replacing the single one over the sink. Thank you for your video. Will have to see what else you've got on your page!!

  • @Dr_Xyzt
    @Dr_Xyzt 4 роки тому +2

    Your tub idea is brilliant. The single large sink gives the area a very low-clutter appearance. I'm working on a copy of my existing kitchen, and the single basin sink is the main topic. It's the big stuff that gets you. The 24x18 cutting board, the turkey roaster, the pickling pot, rinsing the turkey, the casserole dishes, the pressure cooker. The main modification the new home will have that my current one doesn't, is a small water heater specifically for the kitchen. Instant hot water.
    A double basin sink is nice in that you can have a dirty side and a clean side.

    I love big sinks! I had a blanco in the house I just sold. I did notice that it started to pit. I didn’t have this model but I love all the features. The one thing I really loved my blanco sink for was washing large refrigerator drawers and shelves. It’s was also great for baby bath time too! I truly miss my sink.

    Thank you so much for your video. It has given me my answer to which type I want. When we bought our house way back when the first thing I did was replace the small double stainless steel sink with a very large and deep double Blanco sink which I have loved . We are planning on moving in the near future and hubby asked if I want another sink like I have now and I got to thinking about it and wanted to do some researching. Cause as much as I love my sink there are still some things that aren't real practical with it. Many of which you have stated. I looked at the triple sinks for a bit but then it came to me that a single might be more functional like you have shown. So its a single sink for me. It will be perfect for what I need cause my needs are pretty much the same as yours Thank you again so very much for sharing and showing how practical and easy a single sink is to use.

    Great video, I am in the process of getting a new house and designing my dream kitchen. I never thought the decision of 1 or 2 basin sink could be so difficult. I grew up with a double sink. Years ago i a previous house i had a very large sink with a smaller basin. I LOVED the depth and size of the sink but found it difficult to utilize the smaller basin. I look forward to having my large basin sink back and using it to clean my larger cooking items will be a big plus. after watching your video it was an easy decision.

  • @veronicallamas9333
    @veronicallamas9333 4 роки тому +3

    I just upgraded my whole kitchen and I thought I wanted a one basin sink but in the end I went for the double. I kind of for some crazy reason didn’t like the thought of having a single drain with the garbage food disposer. It tends to eventually get pretty nasty (the rubber part) after a while and I just like the thought of having one without that issue. I’m also glad I didn’t get mine too deep as well. I visited family yesterday and after washing dishes in a deeper sink, I realized it’s not to great for my back. But I do love the look of a single basin.

    • @Enig_Mata
      @Enig_Mata 3 роки тому

      I understand your issues with the deep bowl single sink. I got a mat from Costco for about $10 and problem solved. It's a squishy sort of mat and it's amazing what a difference it makes. As far as the food disposer, I've never had an issue with the rubber cover getting nasty. I guess I keep it clean. However, I thought I would have a problem flushing the drain pipes. Nope - just cover the drain with the rubber cap, fill the sink halfway and remove cover. That vortex is so satisfying.

    You changed my mind. The only positive I thought was beauty and big dishes. My dilemma was how do you rinse and where do you put the dishes to dry. Don't like them drying on counter at home, yet that is where I have the dirty ones. ???? Mine dry in sink at home. Yet mine dry on counter top in RV. Now RV's have these sinks. I too, in my RV, put dirty dishes in a tub. Never thought of doing the dishes in the tub and using sink to rinse. TY
    But..... I have thought of having side by side farmer sinks (this is what we call them in our area). Thank you for the helpful ideas.

    I see that your taps are set into what I think maybe granite? What is the reason for this? I presume to avoid wood water damage? Thanks x

    I love my new 36" single basin sink and we went with dark grey. Im not so crazy about the rack tho because you have to lift it to really clean all the scraps left behind. I like that it helps to protect the sink so I tried it but ended up taking it out. Maybe Ill give it another try again in the near future.
