Ranking of the best bathroom and kitchen faucets in 2022

The use of water in the modern world is difficult to imagine without a convenient and functional faucet. We will talk about how to choose the right faucet for a bathroom or kitchen, and about the best models of devices below.

What to look for when choosing a kitchen faucet

No kitchen will be complete without the installation of a high-quality and suitable faucet in style and design. However, an experienced hostess, in addition to the beauty of a plumbing assistant, should pay attention to its functionality. When buying a sink faucet, you should pay attention to some of its features, which will later facilitate your daily work in the kitchen. So this is:

• spout height

It is selected in accordance with the depth of the sink: the deeper the sink, the lower the gander can be and vice versa. A high spout is convenient when pouring water into tall containers, when washing large-sized dishes.

• Possibility to turn spout

The swivel spout is convenient in that it can be rotated in the direction that is convenient for you. The rotation angle is from 90 to 360 degrees.Minus one - the more often you turn, the higher the likelihood of leakage under the gander.

• The presence of a retractable spout

A retractable watering can is the solution to all the problems of the hostess. It combines practicality and convenience without making the faucet bulky.

• Possibility to connect a drinking water filter

Many modern models are equipped with this function. In addition, some of them have not only a lever, but also a separate spout for filtered water, which prevents it from mixing with tap water.

• Temperature and water pressure limiters

A convenient feature, especially if there are children who already use the mixer on their own. Also, limiting the pressure of water allows you to save it.

• Equipment

It is important before buying to clarify the size of the pipes to which the mixer will subsequently be connected, because. most European models have a connecting size of 3/8 '', and pipes 1/2 '', which requires an adapter, which may not be included in the kit.

What to look for when choosing a bathroom faucet

• bath-shower switch

It comes in two types: automatic and manual. Automatic - when you turn off the water when using the shower, it switches to the spout itself. Convenient, because it will help to avoid a situation when water from a watering can is poured on the head, but I just wanted to wash my hands. Manual - you need to switch yourself. The advantage is that it is possible to use the shower even with low water pressure.

In addition, the switch can be push-button or rotary. This is a matter of taste and habit.

• bottom valve

The ability to connect a bottom valve will eliminate the need to search for plugs to close the drain hole when taking a bath. A convenient system that comes into action by pressing a button on the faucet. In most models, it is not included in the kit, but it is possible to connect it.

• watering can holder

It can be wall mounted or placed on a faucet. Wall holders do not allow you to adjust the height of the watering can, so you have to buy a rod. The holder on the mixer is convenient if you take a shower without standing.

• Mixer throughput

An important criterion that shows how quickly the bathtub fills with water. For bathrooms, a value of 15 l/min and above is recommended. It is important to remember that the higher this indicator, the greater the water consumption.

• spout length

A long gander is necessary if you plan to use it both in the bath and in the sink. If the use is limited only to the bathroom, then a short spout is sufficient, but not very short so that the water jet does not break on the side.

• Thermostat

The presence of a thermostat will save you from constantly adjusting the water temperature, from which the quality of water procedures will only increase. However, these models do not differ in low prices.
