Blanco 511-652 Diamond Super Single Bowl Kitchen Sink, Anthracite Finish

Comment: I purchased a siligranit sink from the company, "Buy Plumbing" through Amazon. It was damaged during delivery. They have a 15% restock charge, even though it was damaged while being delivered. Then I reordered a new one, but it wouldn't arrive on time (this whole time we are sinkless from the remodel). Then I told them to cancel the order and they said I HAD TO ACCEPT THE DELIVERY, so they also charged me for the new sink to be delivered and returned, even though I refused shipment and told them that I didn't want it. I disputed with my CC company and they are still charging me $139.79, because they sent a damaged sink. Buy from a local company, so you can return it the same day, if there is a problem. There are often, I was told by our plumber, problems when these siligranit sinks are shipped. Whatever you do, save yourself the aggravation and expense of dealing with this awful company.

Comment: Absolutely everything I ever wanted in a sink - large size, easy to clean, doesn't show dirt. Looks great. Love this sink!

Comment: This is beyound my biggest wishes. The sink is roomy enough for my big cookie trays or even my 2 year old grandson. I can't wait to get into full baking mode with this sink as the clean up will be a snap. The sink was a tight fit but the contractor made it fit and it looks great.Blanco 511-652 Diamond Super Single Bowl Kitchen Sink, Anthracite Finish

Comment: This sink is everything you expect. It's gigantic, almost 10" deep, and except for being slightly wider than a standard 33" opening the installation was simple. I replaced an existing sink and had no issues, the whole process took only a few hours (remember, I am NOT a plumber and had never done this before). Having previously purchased a black Thermocast sink from Home Depot I was hesitant to get another in a similar color. However, where the HD sink was easily stained, scratched, and constructed of [basically] fiberglass, this Blanco sink feels exactly like granite. The "Anthracite" color is a little towards the gray end of the color palette, but I have it next to a deep black double oven so that may be misleading. I believe anyone looking for a black sink would be more than satisfied with this sink.

I have had the sink in for a month now and I cannot stress how resistant it is to staining and scratching. My house has hard water so I do use the Blanco Cleaner about once a week and it has kept the finish looking brand new. I also purchased a Blanco drain at the same time, talk about a perfect match! The flange fit perfectly into the indent in the sink, they were clearly made for each other (and did NOT require plumber's putty... with no leaks!).

Comment: I love this sink. For years I've used double sinks and hated not being able to clean really big things without getting water all over the floor and me. Every day I say "thank you" for this great big beauty.

I was a little concerned at first to get a black sink because we have very hard water which turns everything white. But no need to worry. This sink is the easiest to clean I've ever had, never shows scuff marks, and the hard water doesn't seem to affect it. It's an all "pro" sink with no "cons."
