Copper Sink Pros and Cons - Rachiele® Copper Sinks vs the Imports
| Rachiele® Copper Sinks | Imports |
| Easy Care - Rachiele® copper sinks do not require drying after each use | Must be dried after each use - yes, even after washing your hands! |
| Virtually impossible to dent our sinks without intent | Very soft copper, easy to dent |
| Ever changing beauty inside the bowl. Interior will always return to the color of an old penny. | Bottom of sink will change to a different color than the rest of the sink. |
| Hot items, no matter how hot, will not damage our copper sink interior | Hot items may damage the finish of an imported sink |
| Our copper sinks hold their value. We have sold our used copper sinks for 70% of their original value. | Imported copper sinks are nothing special, hence they do not hold value when used. |
| Our copper sinks do well with hard water and well water. | Hard water may damage the finish of an imported sink. |
| Precision built | Can be as much as 1/2" off - per "their" disclaimers. I guess it depends on how much yeast is in the mix:) |
| Use the sink like a sink | Use their sink like a car - wash, dry, wax. All imports require drying after every use. |
| Rear corner drains allow full use of the sink | Center drains - invented 200 years ago |
| Unlimited options for patina choices on apron | Usually one option |
| Ergonomically designed for each customer | One size fits all, no consideration of height or handedness |
| Extremely durable topcoat on apron | Questionable durability at best |
| We have been in business since 1999 with hundreds of 5 star testimonials | Varies, but none longer than we have been in business |
| Be happy | Be frustrated |
