Just stumbled across an article about how more and more people are ditching traditional sinks for those sleek ones that sit flush under the countertop. Apparently, they're easier to clean and give kitchens a more modern, minimalist vibe. I mean, I get the appeal—no more gunk around the edges—but I'm wondering if they're really worth the extra cost and hassle of installation. Anyone here actually have one? Curious if they're as practical as they sound or just another trendy kitchen gimmick...
Installed quite a few of these flush-mounted sinks recently, and honestly, they're nice-looking but not exactly life-changing. Sure, cleaning up is quicker without the lip catching crumbs and stuff, but the installation can be tricky—especially if your countertop isn't perfectly level. Plus, repairs or replacements down the line are a bigger headache. If practical is your main priority, I'd stick with a quality undermount sink instead—still sleek, easier install, and way less fuss long-term.
