Choosing a faucet: what can be more in the market? Master OK

I am glad to greet you on the channel, distinguished guests and subscribers!

Friends, this is not a review of a specific mixer models, and some moments of choice when buying. I'll tell you what I look for when I take from the hands of a new seller a mixer, for example, that such as photo 1 for the kitchen sink.

Dismantle the mixer on small parts no one will give you the right to market, but something is off and check it is still possible. That's what I'm doing.

Weight and equipment

So, shop specialized in response to my interested gaze once said that faucet from brass, a good factory "China" - the brand Rozzy Jenori, with whom I already know about 4 years. By body weight I understand that it's not exactly cheap, and begin to believe that more is worth the money that ask for it. He was not the most difficult, but quite heavy.

What else is included? Yes, here it is worth considering: a little suspicious flexible connection, standard mount and all! Special solidity does not smell, but I was an expensive commodity and is not needed, most importantly reliable, so I will still look for quality confirmation.

The body and spout

Smiling, unscrews from the body spout or "gander", inspects the quality of carving and molding inside the body and bottom. I think, to remove "gander" everywhere you allow, if not himself, then for you it will do exactly. It seems that he Solid metal with a good nut and although not a thick-walled, suits me. A brass or not, can be clearly seen in the pictures below (image 3 a, b)

Everything is made of metal?

To understand this point, it is necessary to look at the aerator (Photo 4a) and the decorative cover, which I put a finger in the picture (Photo 4b). In my case the aerator non-metallicAnd with a plastic coating that is felt when touched - it warmer spout and hollow when tapped.

I will say the same, and under the lid handle. In comparison with the case it is more warm, but not plastic, but not steel or brass. Maybe it's aluminum, silumin but not exactly what represents and seller. Evidently, standing at the counter will no longer be able to know.

Flexible connection and fastening

Although flexible hoses packed it emanates a smell can not hide. Perhaps you're familiar with "flavor of cheap Chinese tires for any handle or something more? And here it is! Immediately I understand that if I buy this thing, the hoses have to be replaced. They initially slightly flattened and with metal braid touch myagkovato.

And the wall of the nuts on the hose does not inspire confidence - tonkovat, although the metal on them to look at is good, but I have already confirmed then, by scratching the inside of the thread (photo 5a). Packed hoses, of course, so you will not check.

As for the mounting kit, then I pay attention to the pressure plate with holes (Picture 5b). Its thickness somewhere 2 mm and is stiff enough, which means keep on a sink faucet. I approve.

Well, it seems not to have learned so little left to say "yes" or "no" to the seller, given a set of contradictory qualities.

Still, I bought this mixer, since the first year I was dealing with this brand, but will have to spend more on normal flexibles. it is important for me that this is a product with a metal brass spout, good seals and fastening normal stiffness.
