As you probably already know, Blanco is one of the top sink manufacturers right now. They have been around for a long time, and they probably aren’t going anywhere any time soon.
If you’re looking for a sink with equal sides, check out the Blanco Diamond Equal Double Bowl. Just like the name sounds, you are getting the classic equal bowl design with this particular model.
The material used for this sink is 80% solid granite. This is the material that Blanco calls SILGRANIT and it has the same touch and feel of natural stone. Because stone is extremely highly resistant to scratching and chipping, this is one of the most popular types of sink on the market right now.
In addition to being scratch and chip resistant, this granite is resistant to several other things. Because it is black and non-porous, it is highly resistant to stains. If you have ever owned a white sink that stained easily, you understand how frustrating this can be at times. Certain things such as blueberry juice, black tea, or red wine can very easily stain some sinks if not quickly washed away. With the SILGRANIT materials you do not have to worry about that.
In addition to being scratch resistant, this sink is also resistant to damage from direct sunlight. Because most sinks are often in direct sunlight for hours and hours a day, it makes sense that Blanco would try to make sinks to resist this kind of damage. Just keep in mind that no design is perfect, so even a resistant sink may experience damage after 10 or 20 years of use!
Another advantage of the SILGRANITE material is that it is very easy to clean. Because it is non-porous, most materials do not stick to it very well. This means that you do not have to scrub, and instead a simple sponge is generally sufficient to clean the sink.
The equal double bowl design is extremely popular for several reasons. Having one large sink without a divider is often a pain because you cannot separate drying dishes from those that are dirty. If you do not have a dishwasher and have to use a sink all of the time, it is even more of a hassle if you don’t use the equal double bowl design.
Now let’s take a look at what customers think of this sink. I can talk about something all day, but until you see what customers think it’s hard to judge the quality of it.
Overall, Amazon.com users review this sink with a 3.5/5 star average. This is based on 4 reviews of 5/5 stars and 2 reviews of 1/5 stars. One of the negative reviews said that parts were not included, the other said that the sink stains and has tiny pitted areas on the bottom.
Meanwhile those customers with the positive reviews love it. They said that it is easy to install and beautiful. Another customer commented on the fact that it’s a deep sink so it can hold a lot of dishes.
So do I recommend this sink? It seems okay, but there are other great sinks out there that you may want to look at first. If you do decide to go with the Blanco Equal Double, check it out on Amazon.com to save about $200 from the list price.
