TOP-MOUNT (DROP-IN, SELF-RIMMING)
Best for a tight budget. It sits directly on top of the counter. Top-mounts work with any countertop material and are the simplest to install.
But grime builds up around the lip of the sink. Top-mounts can detract from the look of fancy countertops.
Price $100 to $500.

UNDER-MOUNT
Best for a sleek look and easy cleanup. You can wipe spills and crumbs from counters directly into the sink. Faucets are installed into the counter or mounted on a wall.
