This here looks at first glance pretty powerful. Unusual is also the position of the control lever on the side. But the operation is so simple and intuitive, and the high design rewarded with easy access to the coveted wet. Hand washing is a pleasure again, even shampooing is possible if the vanity (like mine) is deep enough. In addition, the outlet is also pivotally, which the operability even further improved.
I was surprised also about the very long, flexible connections. Since my vanity depends slightly higher than normal, had the predecessor extensions are used to come up to the Eckhähnen. I did not here.
With all the light but you should also see the shadows: As already noted Mitrezensenten, the accessory is really far below Grohe level. The procedure is almost raw casting, the closure is made of plastic and actually too easy to be lowered reliably from the closing mechanism can. He is also still leaking. I simply used the old solid metal back - which is also tight. The linkage to the sequence operation is really very delicate (not mickerig to say) and works very hakelig.
Some disadvantages of the Grohe but can not: The magnetic soap holder, for the natural tiles were pierced, now sitting really too close to the operating lever of the valve (who sat in the old top of it). Also, one should not underestimate the considerable height with respect to any existing mirror cabinets. With me only fits in between a flat hand. But these are, as I said several reasons, Grohe has no responsibility.
Everything is located on the valve itself, discharge, operation, attachment, connections is high quality and well made. Since the rest is under the sink and is also covered by a pillar, I do not mind the cheap stuff so much. Therefore, I give four stars and an only slightly restricted buy recommendation.
