Plastic handles allow you to open and close the faucet with hot water without burning your hands.
Like users and a watering can soul. The jet from it is strong and uniform.
The presence of flexible braided hoses for water supply improves its quality. There are no smells or tastes.
The aerator saves water and makes the jet softer. If necessary, you can easily unscrew it, clean the tap and put it back on.

Buyers noticed that under the gander rust does not form, as is the case with many cranes.
The coating holds fairly firmly, does not climb. There are no dark spots.
Negative reviews
But not all buyers are so lucky with the purchase of the mixer. There are also angry consumer reviews. They complain about the poor quality of the crane boxes. Ceramic shutters quickly disintegrate. Spare parts are not sold. I have to buy with a rubber shutter.
The rod on the shower trap switch is erased . There are no spare parts either. Buyers conclude that the quality of such a product is very poor.
There are complaints that a crack appeared in the mixer body through which water constantly flows out. Other users find cracks in the faucet cavity.
There are complaints of poor mixer performance when the shower is on. Water constantly changes the temperature from ice to boiling water. Such a contrast shower is not in the plans of users. Therefore, they assess the situation as a marriage.
Some customers, after installing the mixer, find out that it does not provide the desired water pressure. Because of this, the column does not ignite, and the need for a mixer disappears by itself. But just need to wash anyway.
Consumers say a single lever mixer cannot be installed on a column. But for others it works!
Users provide statistics that indicate the percentage of quality and defective products. It turned out that 1 faulty accounted for 20 quality ones. Is it a lot or a little? It all depends on which one you came across. These statistics apply to unusable mixers. And there are still those that the owners are trying to bring to life. But to do this is not always possible.
Comparison with expensive faucets
There is an opinion, and it is not unreasonable, that the purchase of an expensive crane is the acquisition of three cheap prepaid ones. Indeed, if you add up the cost of these cheap mixers and compare the result with the price of an expensive one, you donβt feel much difference. But when the road breaks, the losses will be much higher. But no one is safe from such a situation.
