Opinions on Rohl faucets?

16 years ago

We're choosing faucets for our bathrooms, who knew there could be so many choices out there? :-)

We found one that we like the look of, made by Rohl (C-spout widespread from Rohl country bath collection, see the link below). But I've never heard much about Rohl, does anyone have experience or opinions with them? I was originally thinking Grohe or Moen, which I've heard good things about, but none of the Grohe really spoke to us, and the Moen I liked best (Brantford) my husband didn't like as well.

Mainly, though was concerned to go with a brand I know nothing about - any reassurance or warning for me?

Here is a link that might be useful: Rohl country bath collection

I have the same faucets - the rohl c-spout widespread in the country collection with the cross handles. I haven't installed them yet but they are beautifully made, heavy, turn smoothly etc. Friends of mine have them installed in both bathrooms and kitchens and say they are functional as well as beautiful. Rohl is definitely higher end than Moen, probably about on par with Grohe - although I have read bad things about their lower end and lower priced cisal line.

Thanks for your feedback, good to know that the brand is a good one. I just knew basically nothing about it. If anyone else has experience with Rohl I'd love to hear it, but I'm feeling better, thanks!

Sorry you did not get an answer. The problem may be that Rohl sells many faucet lines, so when you refer to a Rohl shower, it may not be possible to answer as there are many shower valves sold by Rohl from many different manufacturers. If you settle on a particular model, you might inquire again. California faucets has designed and manufactures its own thermostatic valve. By reputation it is a good one, although we have not yet installed one.

pupwhipped- I'm sure the Rohl Country faucet will look fantastic with your Rohl farmhouse sink! Something nice about having both from the same "solid" brand. With the farmhouse style, your body & hands will naturally be closer to the faucet water stream because you won't have the 3 1/2" or 4" of countertop between you and the front edge of your sink. You will only have the thickness of the sink's wall. When you are all hooked up and running, let me know how you like it!

A friend of mine has that Rohl faucet and really likes it. The only thing she wishes she did differently is to buy the smaller size. Her sink isn't that big, and that Rohl faucet comes in two sizes; she chose the larger one, but the smaller one would have fit her sink better. But she really likes the looks of it, and how it operates.

Which faucet for a Shaw Rohls 33 inch farmhouse sink? Type and size?
Q

A 33” width sink is actually not that wide - compared to some sinks we see on here. One pull-down faucet is fine and you will be able to spray the entire sink. You do not need two faucets for a 33” sink. I think it would look too crowded. I also like the Kohler Artifacts faucet because it is a traditional look, but still looks good with a kitchen with transitional elements. While your Shaw’s sink is quite traditional, your granite is somewhat contemporary, so you want a faucet that can look good with both. The Hansgrohe Joleena you mentioned is a contemporary faucet, not transitional. That’s fine too, just wanted to give you more to think about.

We have had the Perrin & Rowe faucets by Rohl both in our bathroom and in the kitchen (the traditional bridge faucet that gets knocked off by other brands). The quality is fantastic & the finish is lovely. Love them!

I have them in my kid's bathroom. They are very nice and have a substantial feel. So far, so good.

I'd be careful of Moen. I have a Grohe in powder room -- it's been great. The only thing Rohl I have is a soap dispenser in my kitchen. I was told that it was one of the best (they do tend to be a problem sometimes) and they were right.I have had no issues with the soap dispenser!
Moen faucets were in the house when we bought it new 13 years ago and I was happy to have the Moen name. But those faucets and shower fixtures have dripped and leaked and the finish chipped off -- awful. They couldn't be repaired. When we got around to replacing them in the Master bath we had to stay with Moen (which didn't make me happy, something to do with the valves in the shower and tub aren't interchangeable with other brands and too involved to switch out). But there are different levels of Moen and I do like the ones we have now. They've only been in the MB for a few months, though. So we'll see how they hold up. If you shop for Moen, don't go for the most economical. That Moen name doesn't necessarily mean what it used to.

Interesting, hadn't heard that about Moen. We went in thinking Moen or Grohe, but as I said didn't really find one that we both liked, but the Rohl appealed to us both. So I guess maybe it's a reasonable choice, at least nobody's giving me major warnings about them! They are more expensive than say Delta or something like that, but we plan to be here for a while so I hope they'll justify the cost.

I'm really happy with the Rohl faucets in my kitchen and bar. I've had the kitchen faucet for several years now. It has a satin nickel finish and the bar faucet has a polished nickel finish. When the kitchen faucet started to look grimy and dull, I just took it off and scrubbed it with a brush to make it look good as NEW.
