Can you use it in a clean utility sink? (Laundry sink) It seems like that would be easy to drain and refill for rinsing, but is it too big?

Are you asking if the sink is too big? I don't think so - seems some folks just use the bathtub! I measured the plastic tub I use (which I put in the bathtub) - it is a 12"x17" rectangle that is 12" deep. I can wash a load of undies, or a couple shirts and slacks or a queen sheet in the tub without even filling it clear up. I would think if you use a laundry sink, which might be bigger, you would just keep the water more shallow. You can tell when you have the water high enough to plunge the clothes around easily. In fact, I was just reading the newer reviews here and I like the idea of putting a laundry basket inside the washing tub so you can lift out the clothes to empty the water. You could certainly do that inside a laundry tub! Also, I just did a couple loads yesterday and am still enjoying the mobile washer - short handle and all. My handle has not loosened, but I'm sure I can fix it if it does. I really do like this device - it keeps my inner hippy chick alive in my social security aged body!

In addition to what the others have stated I would add that the space between your sink and the bottom of the drainer would not allow air to flow and is also uncomfortably close to sink's surface. Maybe not the most sanitary option.

Don't think it will work in a sink. Seems too big. Ideal for a shower. Using it in the city so not sure about the odor issue.

Yes it can, although we have not tried it because it takes up too much space and it is easier to just clean it in the sink. But to be absolutely sure, call Kraus USA customer service at 800 775 0703.

I have used it in the sink and it worked well. Get a lot of water in the sink and if it is a double sing have someone hold a washcloth on on of the sinks and just start pumping. Ours was not draining at all and it knocked it loose.

I find it drains very well. Easy to clean. Once in a awhile I put it into the sink to wash it. Easy.

I suppose you might be able to use it to create sink if you have a bucket or tank to pump from within a couple feet of where your sink is located. Keep in mind the pump has to be submerged in the water supply and has no on/off switch on the cord (you'd have to put one where it plugs into the power outlet (would be a shock hazard if turning it off with wet hands). If you're only pumping the water through 2-3 feet of hose, the water reaches the end of the hose quickly. With some ingenuity you might be able to make the pump work for your purpose, but I think a cheap transfer pump might be a better choice. Hope this helps.

I did use it in my kitchen sink and worked well. Don't have a garbage disposal so cannot help you with that question..Sorry John

It fit in both small sink and regular sink. Little slippery when wet, so it should work

Absolutely. There's plenty of room. I actually own a plumbing store and I had to have that sink quick so it was for a customer but I have one on display. The spec sheet even has a knock out hole there as well. =)

No it doesn't. You would probably need to get a kitchen faucet for that function, but that may not fit most laundry sinks.

not sure! maybe cause you can keep it up and let the water drain, or you can lock it down and fill up the sink? It's a really high quality drain btw.

Yes, I'm really happy with this sink. Never had a problem with it not draining completely.

I have not yet installed the sink, and can't give you the exact interior dimensions, but I suspect it would be hard to wash really dirty hands without getting muck all over the place. It's a beautiful sink, but the bowl is really small, dainty is a good word for it!

This faucet isn't designed to fit a normal sink used for potable water. I suppose someone somewhere might drink out of their utility sink, but having lead in these kinds of faucets isn't uncommon. Be sure if you're looking to purchase a sink similar to this to always check the warnings.

I use it in my bathtub but since it comes in different sizes you have to measure the diameter of the drain in the bathtub and/or your sink to determine if it will work for you.

It has a hose that hooks to the faucet on your kitchen sink. It just slips onto it. If it doesn't fit your sink (it fits most sinks), then you could simply pour half gallon pitchers of water into it till you get it about 3/4 full. Put clothes in first and then fill it. When the wash cycle is over, place the drain house in the sink and let it drain and then refill it for the rinse cycle. Six minutes seems to get our clothes really clean. Then 3 minutes for the rinse cycle. Less time because you have less clothing in it than with a full size washer. Overfilling the machine with too many clothes makes agitation (movement of machine to clean) impossible. Overfilling with water will cause some water to leak out the drain hose which is hooked in an upward position during wash and rinse cycles to keep it from prematurely draining. Machine fits pretty easily on the counter next to sink. You need only a small amount of laundry soap for each wash. It does not spin dry the clothes. You will need to wring them out or buy a small spin dryer. You could also place the machine on a table or counter and put a bucket under it for when you need to drain it. You could fill it via a garden hose. It seems to work well with cold or warm water.
