I have and use this mixer for 4 years. It is simply perfect. Easy to maneuver. Easy to clean (simply éposne, some soap dishes sometimes). Setting the temperature and very simple and effective flow. The aerator is perfect too: flow always fluid and silent, more I have a very hard water and I do not know the problems I had before with the one it replaced. I replaced all the valves gradually I bought in supermarkets by the Grohe and I think it's good for many years. Take advantage of sales Eclair Amazon like me (I still just bought a sink faucet that way).
