What Customers Are Saying
The Kohler Duostrainer sink drain and basket appears to be a mixed product in terms of quality and performance.

Additionally, some customers noted the strainer did not effectively hold water in the sink. However, several customers were satisfied with the overall quality and performance of the drain.

Top quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m very happy with the Kohler Duostrainer! The build quality is excellent..solid, heavy duty and clearly made to last.

Defective
Same as all the other 1 star reviews with the black finish. It’s peeling off after less than 2 years. This is one of two defective Kohler products in my brand new home. Both were bought and installed by a professional plumbing company.

Paint coming off very shortly after instillation, I would not recommend.
This thing is a piece off crap, less than a month installed, the paint was coming off. The paint first was coming off in the lower section, so it wasn't due to items rubbing against it. Then you could see the paint bubbling on the surface, and sure enough it is now coming off the rest of it. I also purchased a Fauset in matte black, I hope the same fate doesn't happen to it also. I will now purchase a new strainer from the company that I purchased the sink from.

Solid drain - color closer to black
Would RecommendThe drain is very solid and heavy duty. All the parts feel quality-made. The basket sits well in the drain hole and it’s easy to twist to plug the drain in order to fill the sink. I took off one star because we purchased the oil rubbed bronze color. It’s very dark- so much that I had to double check that we received the correct color. We did - it’s just that the oil rubbed bronze is very close to black. So it doesn’t exactly match our other oil rubbed bronze fixtures like the faucet and ...
