Bath faucets from Germany

A faucet is an important element of any plumbing. This spare part allows you to control the entire process of the device. Mixers are of different types and countries of origin. Today we will look at products from Germany.

Let's analyze the main advantages and disadvantages of German-made mixers.

1. The most important and important feature is quality that is at a very high level. German manufacturers always take the production of household appliances very seriously.
2. Every year, manufacturers try improve their products, thereby increasing their quality. Thanks to customer feedback and new technologies that are used in production, mixers and all German sanitary ware are getting better every year.
3. Big choice... The lineup of any German manufacturer in the field of plumbing is distinguished by a large number of specimens, which are different not only in their functionality, color, size, but also in design.
4. Long warranty period. German manufacturers are fully confident in the quality of their products, so the faucets have a 10-year warranty. It should be noted that this period is often shorter for other manufacturers.
5. Unique design. There is a long story to tell about German design and numerous prizes and awards. But there is the very fact that the best companies from Germany put the uniqueness of the product as one of the most important goals. It has to express itself externally, which is why every major German plumbing firm has one or more design bureaus trying to create something beautiful and unique.
6. Linear production. The fact is that often German firms make plumbing fixtures not in separate batches, but in rulers.Thus, the consumer will be able to understand which models will best suit each other.

There are also disadvantages.

1. Of course, this quality costs a lot. This can be considered a disadvantage, but if the consumer wants a premium product, then you have to pay for it. It is worth saying that some consumers consider the set price too high.
2. Service. Everything is fine with the faucets themselves, but in the event of a breakdown, it will be difficult for you to find a service center or purchase parts. This is due to the fact that the design of German sanitary ware is complicated due to the large number of technologies, so it will not be easy, and not cheap, to repair such a spare part.
3. Non-compliance with Russian standards. It often happens that after purchasing a German mixer, the consumer is faced with the problem of incompatibility of the arrangement of parts, fasteners and other components during installation. This fact must be taken into account before buying and always be prepared.
