Exactly. So the IKEA customer definitely ends up with unnecessary additional costs. Either from the Y-distributor variant (which I had already considered yesterday) or if they keep the strainer and buy the entire rest new. Because just buying a new drain pipe is not possible; a standard one wouldn’t fit into the IKEA pipe!
What a waste of cost and time! And all just because some complete fool at IKEA decided to replace the Atlant with such a completely ridiculous, impractical design! Doesn’t IKEA have any kind of final quality control to test the “great” new products for functionality? Or is it really possible that they want to force customers to buy the more expensive 2-basin siphon? That just can’t be true!

Since I am currently planning a new Metod kitchen myself and already know Atlant from Faktum kitchens, I think this detail is somewhat overrated. Lillviken is definitely an improvement over Atlant because it saves space thanks to the oval shape of the pipe in the area of the horizontal pipe run and the thinner siphon. It really comes down to those two to three centimeters that make it possible to still have room for the trash bin inside the sink cabinet.
At Bauhaus, you won’t find a “space-saving siphon” or what is sometimes called a “furniture siphon” for less than 25 euros. In the 10 euro price range, there are the standard siphons where the siphon is directly under the sink outlet, which then takes up valuable space right in the middle of the sink cabinet.
It may be true that for people who want to connect both a washing machine and a dishwasher, the Atlant was better than the Lillviken. But the majority only have one dishwasher to connect and want to make the best use of the space under the sink.
