I admit that in this house, not all parts are a snapper. Only I have not, whether sink mixer, single lever mixer or shower thermostats previously had a good experience with the valves. Recently I have received at a exotics, of a 3/4-inch shower faucet for more than 30 years spare parts. I draw two conclusions, in general, the things are very durable and if they even cease to function, they can be repaired again.
We come to the rated product.
Packing
Simple cardboard packaging for the typical artisan, along the lines of the good thing is the good in it. In any case, can the Article unpack quickly and tends to be very securely packed. Wrapped the one-hand lever mixer in a soft filling and additionally well protected by an air cushion foil against scratching during transport.
Quality
The Grohe Euro Smart-hand basin mixer in the mid-high design is a beautiful and timeless Single handle faucet. Already when unpacking falls on the high quality of workmanship and the materials used. The surface is very good and highly polished chrome. Grohe writes in his text GROHE SilkMove ceramic cartridge - lasting ease. It offers 5-year manufacturer's warranty. Whether such a cartridge was installed, I can not judge. What I can say with certainty that the mixer in all directions running really smooth. No jerking, no hook, no, just perfect. Also, the supplied flow also has a surprisingly high quality, it is made of metal, with other manufacturers I had already once with plastic procedures to make do.
Installation
The installation of the advertised Quickfix rapid installation system is unproblematic. All seals of the siphon, the flexible hoses and to assemble the one-hand lever mixer are included.
