I have 2 Grohe Start lavatory faucets installed about 5 years ago and the work still outstanding. Since everything was still ok. The faucet was longer, ie the outlet was 12 cm from the center, not so in this version with 10 cm. When material of the union nuts of the connection hoses to the angle valves was also saved, ie these are thinner and 1/3 lower. When mounting one has since been a somewhat uneasy feeling. Positives: The hoses are long enough, however, can not replace, but only lengthen. The faucet is new in any case just as soft as butter as one is accustomed from Grohe. The waste is made of metal. I can report only later about the durability. Because apparently material is saved repeatedly for the same products over time, I'll just buy a faucet even when I saw this before. This one, I would not buy / recommend!
