How to choose?
When choosing a kitchen faucet, you should take into account some of the nuances that will help you get the best model for you.
Control
One of the main factors is the choice of the type of control, on which the convenience of adjusting the temperature and water pressure depends. Modern stores offer faucets with two valves or single-lever. The first option was popular a couple of ten years ago, when there were no more convenient analogues, but it is still widespread now. Standard models with two turntables on the sides look very nice and dignified, as a rule, they are used in classic kitchen interiors.
Unfortunately, they cannot be called appropriate for the kitchen. The dishes have to be washed often, and it is not always convenient to adjust the water temperature every time. It is for this reason that many people prefer the second type of mixer with one lever. It is enough to set a comfortable degree once and lower the regulator. After that, immediately after turning on the tap, the water you need will always flow.
Spout
Pay attention to the spout. The style is chosen exclusively for the general interior design, but there are points that do not relate to the appearance.
Choose a model with a swivel case for the ability to wash dishes from any angle.
It is especially important to have a swivel spout when there are two sinks. It is necessary to correctly select the height of the tap for the convenience of washing large containers. A mixer that is too long is also not always suitable, as it may cause liquid to splash to the sides. Choose this parameter depending on the depth and shape of your sink.
Additional functions
It is very convenient when the faucets are equipped with a pull-out shower for washing large pots, filling a vase with water and conveniently cleaning the sink. An excellent addition is the built-in filter, which allows you to get drinking water directly from the tap. There are models with two spouts. The upper one allows you to wash large containers, the lower one is convenient for washing fruits and cups.
