Oliveri Sinks Nu-Petite

60 years as a plumber and my own NP602 S/S 15 year old sink gets a rust hole, no rust in any other part of the sink except in this location on cage flange and sink where water sits around groove on both sinks when you empty sink. I lodged what I believed was a genuine warranty claim as quality stainless sinks in a kitchen or laundry environment… Read more

do not rust through, no corrosive substances stored under sink normal detergents used in sink. Lodged warranty claim with Oliveri who out source warranty claims to T2 Services. T2 services disallowed claim because something I did caused it. In my opinion don't waste money on expensive sinks as the cheaper sinks seem to last as long as the more expensive brands and the lifetime warranty in my case was useless as it only covers manufacturing defects found when sink is delivered or not long after, not even a pro rota payment offered and my advice very carefully examine your sink the day it is delivered for any blemish or sign of surface rust especially area where plug hole cage goes and is hidden by flange when installed also it was suggested from T2 services the mark would have appeared prior to installation or not long after installation by which time it would have been hidden under flange rubber also it could be possibly caused by an external factor not long after installation.

Really Love the Size and Functionality – Oliveri Nu-Petite Double Bowl Inset Sink With Left & Right Drainers NP653 I'd wanted sink with two drainers and a 3/4 sink on one side. Instead I bought the NP653 which has double sinks, double drainers, and includes a plastic colander insert and bamboo chopping board. I also purchased the optional utility cover. This is a larger sink set up… Read more ·  1

(1550mm long), and will be great for the entertainer, or a family. Bowls are 30l and 28l. It takes a 3 litre saucepan comfortably. With the rounded sink edges it's easy to clean, and drains well. Best used with a decent pull out sink mixer. The functionality with the chopping board insert, colander, and optional utility tray is excellent. When I've had a lot of dishes that needed a light wash, I've used the utility tray as an extra drainer. The chopping board insert and utility tray allow for extra preparation space, which is a great feature when you need all the bench space for other kitchen tasks. Note, the chopping board and colander fit on either side, but are designed to go on the sink with the diagonal corner (28l), as the board has a diagonal to match. The optional steel drainer ONLY fits the larger 30l bowl. Please refer to the photos. You can also sit the colander in the sink by itself, but it sits best at the front of either sink, or at the back of the main bowl (30l).

All wooden chopping boards should be lightly oiled, wiped dry, and left for 24 hrs before first use. This helps prevent moisture warping the board. Furthermore, any wooden board should be allowed to dry thoroughly, rather than remain in a wet environment. So if you leave your chopping board on the sink permanently, it will go mouldy. You CANNOT put a wooden board in the dishwasher. Plastic, and glass chopping boards have their place (I put my plastic board in the dishwasher all the time), but generally wood is the recommended medium for chopping boards. If you want more info on chopping boards, please google it, I'm not an expert.

It is possible to scratch the sink. Our sink somehow got a few scratches during installation. I have enhanced the photo to show the small scratches. Scratches seem to be a common complaint for modern sinks. The sink is 304 grade SS, which is the industry standard and can be corroded by prolonged exposure to salt, acids or chlorine based products. Shouldn't be an issue if you are rinsing your sink properly when exposed to such. And use a non bleach cleaner. Otherwise look for a 316 SS sink, which has greater resistance, and costs more. This is why I gave the Nu-Petite 4 stars, rather than 5. It isn't a cheap sink, should they have used 316 SS???
