for small items u can take the risk and buy from taobao. Kitchen sink is something that will be installed permanently 10 - 20 years, so not worth taking the risk. U save may be RM 200 ( per year RM 10) but in case leak or rust u nd to waste more money to place it if u install it as undermount. Even importers got cheated by facotires in china. Claim to be 304 grade but given 202 grade steel.

Sink could also be damaged during shipment, even i courier sinks within domestic, some dented. waste time to return and wait next shipment

i think only the skirting is 5mm not the entire sink. sorry cant read mandarin, so cant check the details. In malaysia there are 3mm sinks and suppliers confirm only the skirting or edges not the entire sink.

as 5mm is thick, if u plan to undermount it, it will be extra work for the carpenter and they might charge extra, unless ur top is tiles. do double check with carpenter

if u wanna know more, u can drop by my shop to compare and i will explain the details hw to get a good and practical sink. U may ask for zean, show me the photo of the sink u wanted to get and ask me for some info.

This sink is not good for washing big stuff, inner bowl size 360mm only (most standard sinks have 380-400mm, while HCE chef series 450mm biggest so far in the market). Moreover, kitchen sinks are usually designed to stack on each other to save shipment cost, hence if the upper of the sink is 360mm, the inner could be 340mm only. a standard wok at home diameter is 400mm excluding the handle. I have similar shape sink in my showroom, so u can look and compare. If mainly for design n not for washing, then it looks good and modern

Hi Guys,

Looking for a sink as i am moving into new house and reno kitchen.
Looking for a double bowl, with a drain also if available.
I visited bigbath in Kpg and saw the Tora i-sink which seems to be pretty attractive for the price 1250

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/tora-sus...s120608000.html

Has anyone got experience with this brand which you care to share?

Thank you,
CA

Yes, did for a couple transactions. Definitely worth it more than paying triple for the same thing in malaysia.
Dont let the salesman scare you.

i would suggest to avoid nano sinks as they are not as scratch resistant as granite sinks, since it is black in colour, any minor scratches will make it look ugly, regular hair line stainless steel would b better.

NANO = a coating like car nano coat, wont last forever.

Some nano sinks claim to have warranty but definitely no guarantee against scratches. Nano Sink price Vs Normal Sink price +- RM 80 only, not much hence many ppl might consider NANO.


Some brands sell NANO sink cheaper than regular steel sink, according to suppliers, they use lower grade steel then coat it hence it would not rust, so dont really need to use 304 grade steel. However, if u dont take care of the coating and damage the coating, it could rust.

GRANITE is really scratch resistant as i m using it but not stain resistant. Hence, if u were to ask me to suggest, i would go for regular hair line satin finish stainless steel

i am using one. Taobao sink, so far so good. the sink is very heavy also and i have it under mount with my tiles top. i guess the 5mm is the whole body and not the surface only.
however, do be careful when u shop in Taobao. if not sure better ask the seller in detail and always read the review (best is the picture).
