I had a 20 year old enameled cast iron sink with a double bowl (one small, one large) prior to this and it was pitted and rusting around the fixtures.  This sink is so much better.  Love the large single bowl that my cookie sheets and platter can fit in.  Had a stainless sink in the past and couldn't stand the constant water spots.  This sink cleans up nice with just soap and water or some Barkeeper's Friend.  Have only had it for a month, but am very pleased.  The only MINOR issue I have is the strainer.  Wish the holes were a little smaller for those of us without garbage disposals.  Again, minor issue -- would not trade the sink because of it.
