Unfortunately the sink does not drain very well and we are often left with water and food particles (that are rinsed off plates) on the bottom of the sink. It means we have to constantly guide the water etc to the drain with a sponge and wipe out the bottom of the sink. I have not had to do this with other sinks before except for when I am actually cleaning the sink. It is a very large sink and we love the size as we can fit big pots and pans in it for cleaning but it is a shame that the drainage isn't on slightly more of an angle.
