It the sink drainage sloped enough to allow quick drainage or does the water tend to pool in the sink and drain slowly? Thanks!

Drains quick. It is a very large deep sink. Very satisfied with the sink for our laundry room. Also purchased a double bowl Kraus sink for our kitchen. No complaints.

That has nothing to do with the sink that has to do with your plumbing. Mine doesn't pool and empties readily.

The sink bottom is slightly sloped, and it drains fairly quickly. It drains just as quickly as any 'normal' sink. It is not sloped enough to get every last drop of water out, so you'll have a few small water drops left all across the bottom of the sink.

It drains alright but you'll have to spray debris down the drain... It also scratches easily, but they can be taken out with a scotch pad. It's beautiful and I'm happy with it, but there is some effort involved.

Yes. The sink is engineered to have the water run toward the drain. It is sloped enough to drain, but flat enough to comfortably clean up after a meal. With regard to "Apron front sinks" Often a fireclay apron sink will drain more inconsistently because of the hand sculpted manufacture of fireclay, but not a stainless sink.

Hi. Thanks for reading our reviews. A slight slope is no problem. Our yard has about a 5% slope, and we point the orange pool edge uphill so that it captures a little more water before it begins to run over the top.

Yes. The slope is not great enough. Water drains, but very slowly. It is painful. And not very hygienic at all. The sink is gorgeous, but it's a hot mess when it's used. Sadly mine is under a $4000 slab of marble so I'm stuck with it.

The drain is on center but does NOT have a slope. You need a sprayer to rinse out the since. Love it just the same.

I am very happy with this dish drainer and have not experienced any of the slight problems others apparently have had. You can use this drainer to the right or left of the sink, as you can easily rotate the draining mat around and position the metal drainspout over the sink. It is also possible to use the item with the shorter edge toward you, so that the drain setup goes narrow yet deep on the counter -- or the other way around such that the longer side faces the user and the setup is not so deep, in case you have a narrow counter. The spout can be installed either way. Totally flexible.

I have had mine for two years and the water does stay low but I attributed that to the reduced water usage. I have not found the fill to be that slow...it's not super fast, but about what I would expect. I have been completely satisfied with the AS one piece since it was installed. Hope this helps.

my yard has some slope to it also. I use the slope to my advantage, I put the pool end on the slope so it's easier to empty the pool water at the end of the day. I have maybe a 15-20 degree slope so it's not an issue, but I would think 45 degree might be a little tricky. so in short it's not an issue.

I haven't had any issues with standing water or food scraps due to the pitch of the sink... at least no different than normal sinks. What I have noticed however is that if you have a stiff disposal gasket thing (ours is almost all the way closed) it can be slow draining, but if I open it up the water drains very quickly. TL, DR: Make sure you get a free flowing disposal gasket thing and you should be fine.

I concur with the others About a half inch. If your drainage is good you should not have a problem. If your sink runs slow, it could be.

A little bit of water sometimes remains in the bowl--but not a lot. I like the sink. It fits perfectly in my particular space. However, if I could have found one with more curve on the base of the sink, I would probably have bought it instead.

The tray is shallow and flat with grooves to drain. The problem is that the end farthest from the sink is not raised so, being flat, it does not drain well. I would think a raised sink would make it drain away from the sink and would accumulate the water in the tray until it overflows ... but which way?!?!?

It actually has a center section that is slightly raised creating a tiny slope around the sides of the raised area. The entire bottom is perforated. I've had no problems with it draining.

You need to have a good area to drain it. We attached a hose to the drain so we could strategically place the water. We also climbed inside to wash the sides and floor, turned it upside down over an outside climbing toy we have in the yard and after a couple of days folded it up for storage. It was a bit of a pain, but about what you'd expect from a pool. I didn't mind doing it and am looking forward to pulling it back out this season.

The creases help direct the water towards the drain; the sink bottom isn't completely dry once the faucet is shut off, but there aren't noticeable puddles either.

It does have a small slit drain underneath the section for silverware. It's handy for hanging over the edge of your sink, although in practice there isn't enough slope for the water to actually drain.

Hi...When water is draining off the dishes,etc there is a small hole that allows for draining into the sink. I don't know how you would change this since it's the feature that makes this rack unique in that it doesn't need to have anything under it. It's very well designed, a bit small however, but it works for me. Good luck! Gabriel

It doesn't splash but it does seem to drain slowly so when I am washing my face I pull the pop up drain out. It really is a nice sink and a good value so not a big deal to do.
