Can this sink get rust spots?

I bought this sink for my laundry room. It is not a typical laundry sink, but works for me. It is deep enough and it is pretty solid. Just like with any other stainless steel sink, you have to use stainless sink cleaning solution and dry it after each use. Hope this helps.

I,ve had mine in use for 17months and have not encountered any rust problems. I am very happy withthe sink as it is durable and easy to clean. I had a composite sink in my former house and could not keepit clean.

Franke products are typically high quality and therefore should not rust. If you already own this sink and it is rusting I would contact Franke as the sink has a limited lifetime warranty.

I have never had any problem with rust - stainless steel should not rust under normal use.

I've never gotten a rust spot in two years of usage. However, I did once get a small spot of metal discoloration from a bit of paint remover that I didn't clean up well enough (I use this sink in a shop area). I'm still very happy with this sink - it's extra deep, which is convenient for my usages.

I have only had it for about a year now, but I haven't had any issue with the finish on any area of the sink.

No, but since it is stainless steel, it does not leave rust marks in my sink and I do not use the tray to sit it on since I want it to drain directly in the sink and not have to keep that tray clean! I am extremely pleased with it.

If you put it in the dishwasher it will get rust spots over time. My old set I use to take the rust spots out with steel wool. If you wash it by hand it won't rust.

no, no problems of any kind, am very happy with it. have only had it for six or eight months though, which may not be long enough for rust to show up.

I don't know. It's just an insert, it's over my kitchen sink n I haven't had a problem like rust or pitting

We have had no trouble with rust to date. The sink was installed just over a year ago. We do not use any harsh cleansers that would mar the surface though.

Our water is so terrible that we had to install a water softener system because the water continually ruined our plumbing. I would say that it will spot however, because the finish is a matte finish, I would say that you probably wouldn't notice it.I love this sink because it's deep, wide and is nearly maintenance free.

I have mine in a corner of the kitchen, but it seems to have a powder coat of bronze paint all over, so I think it may not rust.

I've bought the sink in May 2014. No problems with dents or rust. I'm a single retired guy that doesn't use it all that often. Don't know mfg.

I'm on my second one of these irons and I've never had rust spots. And I have FL tapwater, which is so bad I won't even drink it. I would see about returning it.

Possibly. If you had the right bit for stainless steel. This sink is awesome!

I have one of these sinks -- bought it in October 2012. I *LOVE* it. We spray/wipe it out daily when doing dishes. And, we scrub it down about once a week with baking soda to eliminate any buildup and make the stainless shine again. So, at least in our sink, gunk doesn't accumulate. But, you do have to take care of it.

I have mine mounted in my bathroom right beside my sink and love it. I have seen no signs of rust.

I installed Kraus sink about 8 months ago. I think if you leave stopper sitting along side or inside on the surface part of sink it may rust. But the simple solution is to not leave it sitting on the sink. Otherwise the sink is great and may be the highlight of my kitchen. You won't find another farmhouse sink of this quality at this price.

Absolutely. I run it through the dishwasher at least twice a week. There are no problems, no spots, no rust stains. The best flatware ever and so shiny.
