Does this sink drain well? I have a one hole sink where I need to push debris into the drain hole or waste water trying to flush it clean. Thank you!

It seems to me that it drains like most sinks. I usually use my sprayer to easily wash down the sink. I too am very careful with water as we use a cistern for our water.

We've had no problems with it draining. The bottom has a good slope from all four corners to the drain.

Yes it does. Because it is big I do have a faucet that detaches and I can spray the water around the sink and it goes down just fine.

It drains wonderfully. No problems that my clients have encountered. Recommend the disposal vaccum switch for the disposal.

I use a Waste King. No problems. Love the sink. Get a rack to protect the bottom.

The overflow problem I had was with pot lid flowing in faster than can drop into pot. So I made drain hole slightly larger. Have not had issues since. Drains into pot fine w/o a mess

One section of my sink is about 13"x15". With a drain plug, the normal cycle fills it about half way. It is MUCH less water than washing the same dishes by hand. Also they come cleaner.

I have been doing plumbing for awhile and "truthfully" it's really NOT the sink when it come to draining power. Think about it, if you just put any sink on the floor and pour down water or any liquid, it will go through the sink hole immediately. However, what could/would affect the draining is your plumbing pipes. Some pipe drains fast and some drains slow. I have no complaints whatsover with this sink in terms of drainage, but my plumbing system is only 6 years old. Hope this helps.

The water drains straight down through the side opening. I am attaching additional PVC to route the flow into a flowerbed instead of directly down into my rocks below. I wish it came with an elongated attachment hose but I think the sink is very functional and neat.

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.

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.

No, the drains are more towards the faucet, towards the back, off center. I love, love this sink.cleaning is easy. You can use dish soap or I have used a magic eraser. That works great. If it starts to look a little dull, just wipe with olive oil.

My plumber recomended a "grid" drain only for this sink, as it does not have an overflow. You can install it with a compact "euro" style trap, which looks very nice, but is a little pricey. I actually used a conventional one, and it works just fine.

I got a single bowl sink with one drain hole. Cannot use this part if you are having a disposal. So now I am stuck with this part...can't return it b/c the "return window" closed by the time I had it installed.

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.

Not sure what the other reviewer got but mine def has a whole for water to drain into the sink. It's on 1 side so you just flip around to whatever side of the sink you use it at.

I bought the 502A-16, which is the same sink as this one except 16 gauge. Mine did not come with any drains or garbage disposal attachment, but if your garbage disposal attachment (the metal ring and rubber bumper parts that fit into the sink hole) is still in good shape, the installers may be able to remove it from your old sink and reinstall it in your new one. That's what my installers did with mine without much trouble and it looks and works just fine.

Our plumber didn't have any problems. I have this sink and it is fantastic. One of my favorite parts of the whole kitchen.

NOT flush-able!! Place a trash can within easy reach of the sink and tell anyone who might think to put them in the toilet that they will clog the drain!!

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.
