Did you decide which one? Debating those two sinks too!

Lauren:

The Elkay Quartz Luxe is the best composite sink; even better than their Classic. Much more dense, and therefore stain resistant, than the Blanco.

@Lauren Fazio we ended up with the Elkay Bellucci, which was a tad of a surpise when it arrived as we had ordered site unseen. Given that it's a granite composite there are some darker flecks and although white, it's not a bright white. The manufacture ended up replacing the first one due to the number of dark spots. Elkay was very helpful and responsive.

The positive reveal with the ledge is more of catch all than we antiicapted in this house of 2. When reading the reviews about coffee, tomatoes, etc. we figured that wouldn't necessary apply to us- we don't keep things in the sink and rinse it down imemediately. Not the case. It does come clean with a magic eraser sponge and some elbow grease.

We have the bottom rack and remove it a few times a week for good scrub. 5 months in we've had no issues with scratches or other surface damages.

Initially we did use the drying rack and cutting board features. We've reduced using them, but can envision them being used when counter space is needed in the future.

Thank you so much for your responses Joseph and Katie!

Katie- im guessing you meant the kraus belluci? I’m bummed to hear about the staining. I didn’t want to believe the reviews 🤣. But given that you have to scrub it twice a week with only 2 people…I’ll assume that I’ll just be setting myself up for disaster with 4 boys 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Joseph I’ll look into the Elkay but now I’m more nervous about the granite composite…

I'm wondering what you ever decided? I'm torn and I'm looking into these exact options.
