10 years, 15 years or even
with a lifetime warranty) - the more reliable the sink is, the higher its overall quality, all other things being equal, but the more expensive it will cost in comparison with analogues.
However, depending on the market (country in which it is sold), the warranty for the model may differ. For example, for the countries of the European Union, America and other advanced states, the guarantee can be increased.
