    They are meant to be installed in a corner.

      I get it, but speaking as someone who used to design kitchen layouts for a living: Don’t put your sink in the corner. Just don’t.

      Also, this has one major “feature” above and beyond the usual diagonal sink in a corner cabinet, in that you can swivel the faucet into the middle position and dispense water directly onto your floor. Genius!

        swivel the faucet into the middle position and dispense water directly onto your floor

        Or directly into a bucket.

        There are two thing you never put in a corner: sinks and Baby.

        If you have a faucet can swivel, you could probably always put it somewhere to spill directly on the countertop. Still ugly design, though.

        Doesn’t the faucet travel over the corners so it wouldn’t spill on the floor (much anyways) without pulling the faucet out?

        My ex has the regular sink diagonally in the corner- and she’s too short. It has to be farther back from the edge of the counter to miss the corner. However she’s 5’2” (and overweight) so it’s harder to reach, enough to be an annoyance every time she washes dishes.

        Just don’t put your sink in the corner. There is no good solution

        Yeah this seems like something you would do if the space didn’t permit anything else. Which is the case sometimes. But it’s not something to elect when you have other options.

      • Wootz@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Ok, I’m super curious. By “In the corner” do you mean putting a sink on the actual corner unit? Or by the tablespace immediately next to it?

        In the case of the first one I totally get it. The corner unit is a cursed part of the kitchen anyway. If you mean immediately next to it, why not? Not disagreeing, just curious what a professional says.

        That does tend to happen. Even without swiveling the faucet, moving dishes between basins causes a bit of a puddle to develop. Thankfully I have a tiled floor so it doesn’t matter too much.

        Perfect for when you need to mop the kitchen floor-- no bucket required /j

      This makes so much more sense. Still wouldn’t want it, but I get it.

    • hierophant_nihilant@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yep, and they are actually awesome! I personally hate washing dishes when there’s a pile of them in front of you because of all the splashing. This layout makes cleaning so much easier. Additionally, you can put up some stuff for defrosting in the second sink

      Finally, was wondering where exactly these things would have been used 😮

      source
    • echodot@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Could you just not put it there? I never known any sink in existence that is plumbed into the corner of the room, so presumably the piping has been redirected so that you need a corner sink, it’s literally the very definition of a solution looking for a problem and indeed a problem has to be created so the solution is required.

        This is probably it. Whatever was on clearance or fell off the truck is what they installed, logic be damned.

        My guess is the handyman special. Bought the wrong hardware for another client months ago, and finally found a sucker that bought the “hey, I have a brand new sink that never got installed from another job collecting dust. I’ll hook you up”

    The fact that this sink doesn't have a channel for overflow from one sink to the other and has no other obvious overflow control is really bothering me...

    source
    • Kecessa@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Kitchen sinks don’t usually have an overflow

      source
      • KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        They usually overflow into the other side of the sink. There is a raised rim along the outside, and the area between the two is very slightly lower. This means that the water will overflow into the other side.

        Of course if both are full, all bets are off.

        Sinks that are directly next to each other are usually separated by a divider that’s lower than the counter. I assume that’s what he’s talking about

    • Dicska@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      While it would still be an abomination to me, it’s not impossible that the overflow holes are on the near walls which are not visible from this angle.

      source
    • Alexstarfire@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      But it does… Both sinks are set into it slightly. It’s not fantastic but it should still work.

      source
  • basketugly@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It’s actually called a Slayer sink cause it’s double basin.

    source
  • Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    If you took the corner sink (installed not in a corner like that) but with a 3rd triangular sink in between the others… it would be terrible in entirely new ways!

      You can buy a second one, thats a big plus!

    I've only seen these and never used one. So I do not understand what is mildly infuriating about them. Is it just that water will spill if the faucet is in the middle?

    source
  • pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It’d be better to have the three-sink setup they have in commercial kitchens which are stacked next to each other so you can move a dish to the next without dripping water all over the counter.

    source
  • CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I have this one. It’s not that bad actually, once you get used to it.

    • Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I worked with one. Soap scum stays on that middle metal thing, and it’s always wet no matter what. It’s such a weird design.

      source
      • CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yeah. It’s slightly messy, but it’s ergonomic enough. I’m not sure why you’d choose to install it not in a corner, though; I guess they liked the way it looks but never actually do the dishes themselves?

    I put one of these in a Victorian which had a kitchen being brought up to code. Doors and windows cut up the kitchen wall space, leaving this as an elegant solution to have an efficient kitchen. I did have to reinforce the seams behind and at the chevron cut at the sink edge. I liked working at the sink. Dishes were easy to reach, and water did not splash when handwashing dishes, but making more room for modern appliances was nicer. If the kitchen was not destroyed in a flood, I would still have it.
