When buying a mixer, it is recommended to consider the parameters of the model in order to make the right choice.

First of all, you need to decide on the type of temperature and water pressure regulator. It is important to evaluate the convenience of the option you have chosen and find out all the pros and cons. Hansgrohe offers all types of lever mixers. One of the most popular is a faucet with two valves for supplying cold and hot liquid. Standard products with turntables look quite rich and beautiful, especially in classic interiors. They are usually plated with bronze for a more luxurious look.

Unfortunately, these options are more convenient in the bathroom than in the kitchen... Housewives often have to use the tap to wash the dishes, and it is inconvenient to adjust the comfortable degree every time. But single-lever models in this regard are much better and more modern. It is for this reason that single lever products are now more popular for kitchen sinks.

The Hansgrohe models with an original bridge crane are also quite interesting. This is one of the varieties of rescuers with two turntables, but in this case the valves are not attached to the body. They are connected to each other by a pipe resembling a bridge, and the spout itself is located in the middle. The use of such devices follows the same scheme as with a standard analogue. They are optimal for Provence or retro interiors.

An innovation in the world of plumbing is faucets with touch or push-button control. There are models where the screen is located next to the twist in place of the lever or valve, on others the buttons are installed directly on the valve body. Such devices are very convenient, and most importantly, they save water. You can preset the temperature and pressure force, and the liquid will flow only after you bring your hands to the curl. Of course, the cost of such mixers is quite high, but the quality and usability are appropriate.

The valve body should also be correctly selected. The shape and design of the device are selected individually, depending on the kitchen interior. However, there are some nuances related to the functional side. It is advisable to choose a device with a swivel spout, so you will be able to wash containers at any angle. A similar tap is required for two sinks. The height of the device is selected depending on the depth of the sink.

You should also pay attention to convenient additions, with which more and more models are equipped.

• A great feature is the pull-out shower head with a hose, which is magnetically attached to the spout. It is convenient for washing large containers, thoroughly cleaning fruits and vegetables and rinsing the sink.
• For families with small children, faucets with a built-in filter for drinking water supply are an excellent option. A separate hole is provided for this.
• In stores, you can find a device with two spouts: an upper and a lower. The first makes it possible to wash the dishes well, the second is convenient for washing cutlery or food.
