Thought to myself, at Grohe can not do much wrong and have ordered, because the value for money was ok for me the Euro style.
For essentially:
What I have not seen in the item description (and what is not inside) is the fact that the central part is not made of metal but of plastic. I have also uploaded a product image by the looks accurate. Bothers me personally, yes, but is not as dramatic and does not impair the function.
Unfortunately this component is placed not very clean and the position with me. I do not know whether that is a defect in my faucet, or if that will be in all or most Euro Style fittings so. Since Amazon has offered me an obliging solution, I suppose this little flaw in market value and will have to live with it.
A further point, the icing on the cake for riders like me, visually makes up a little something, is the small recess under the mixer (see also in the photo). I suppose this recess is / was intended for a small sticker that can be placed there, and is a show which side cold water, and in which hot water. As these color display but was attached to the top of the mixer, the named recess is left free, and it's just a white recess to see.
The Assembly has, due to the good mounting solution that has unfortunately not been enforced for all manufacturers, works well, simple and also very fast, and can be performed even by a layman certainly as long as it has a 13mm open-end wrench (I for a 13er Long nut used, so it was a bit easier).
What's just occurred to me that the connection hoses have got a bit short. For me it is just not nice. Do you have to but the UT memory somewhat laterally offset, it could have become scarce.
All in all, I give in all cases a buy recommendation from, but because of few minor "flaws" I admit, despite the low price, "only" 4 stars.
Long-term experience I have not, should result something negative, I'm going but the grudge here.
