Reviews of the best kitchen and bathroom sinks:

As a homeowner you may need to replace a kitchen or bathroom sink one day and it's good to know what is out there to make a wise decision on style and function. You need a sink large enough in the kitchen to handle lots of dishes, is easy to clean, and doesn't scratch so quickly when pots and pans are thrown into it. The top manufacturers of kitchen sinks are Kohler, Franke, and Blanco with Franke kitchen sinks being the best in our eyes. Franke makes single bowl kitchen sinks, double bowl kitchen sinks, drop in sinks, specialty sinks, apron front kitchen sinks, and titanium kitchen sinks. Franke is the world's largest stainless steel sink manufacturer and with their higher nickel content, their sinks are more rust proof. The Franke MHX-720 double bowl apron front goes for $1735 and the Franke GNX-110-18 single bowl undermount sink goes for $414. Other best selling Franke sinks are the Franke ORX-110 ($497), Franke PRX-110-21 ($357), Franke GNX-110-28 ($615), and the Franke GNX-110-20 ($438). You can find all models, descriptions and prices online at Fausink.com. Another good website is at Frankekitchensinks.com.

The glass vessel sinks range in price from $159-$299. There are painted glass sinks, textured glass sinks, etched glass vessel sinks, and single/double layer glass vessel sinks. Copper sinks are another great accent to any kitchen or bathroom, but buying one is harder than most of the other styles. Copper sinks are rugged and durable but need maintenance to keep their unique finish. Sinksgallery.com carries the most copper sinks we could find online with spectacular artisan crafted sinks.
