Nice design, quality materials and daspect robust. However the design suffers from minor flaws: the upper part of the valve, above the mixer block, is a bit shaky (! It's fragile and it contrasts with the massive aspect of the valve), the removable head properly held in place for now but we feel that with time (and wear rubber) it will hold less and less, and finally when we close the tap a little stream of water continues to flow for several seconds. In short this also explain why this valve is not too expensive. Let us say that it is a quality / price ratio reasonable, nothing more. Update 1 year and a half later: leak in the hose. I would still hoped it lasts longer! Therefore no mystery: low price = low quality. If it all over again I would not take this faucet Aqua Marin.
