You never realize what you had till it's gone . . .
Replaced the old sink with a new one. No big deal right? A sink is a sink right?
Not exactly . . .
The new one has a VERY flat bottom. Which means nothing drains and nothing washes down.
Pour some milky residue in the sink? It just sits there.
Have some food particles in the bottom? Before you could just splash some water around and they would all quickly slide down to the drain. Now since there is no slope, they have no tendency to move towards the drain at all. You have to manually wipe them or else use the pullout spray hose to chase it down the drain.
Now I have to spend a ton more time scrubbing and rinsing out the sink than I ever had to before.
With the sink I got a faucet sort of like this (not that model, but same idea, with the control lever to the side and the pullout hose)
Simply put, all that distance from the lever to the faucet and through all that extra hose creates quite a lag which makes it difficult to adjust the temperature as you have to wait about 4 seconds to see the result of your positioning. Plus the small lever makes it difficult to finely adjust it in the first place. One position is too cold, tap it over a hair and it's too hot.
The previous model was similar to this (WITHOUT the pullout hose). It was very responsive, with the temperature changing immediately as I moved the lever plus it was easy to finely adjust both the volume and temperature.
But most importantly, if you get a sink, DON'T GET ONE WITH A FLAT BOTTOM
