Does your soap dispenser match your faucet?

14 years ago

I am getting down to having everything in place to get my kitchen installed, but have not picked out my faucet. I am leaning heavily towards the Grohe Bridgeford in ORB. THe soap dispenser by Grohe is a different style than the faucet. I also like the Showhouse by Moen bridge faucet in ORB, but it doesn't seem they offer a soap dispenser. Do the finishes have to match exactly? I think it would bug me if they don't?

Anyone know of another bridge faucet in ORB under $1000.00 that has a nice matching soap dispenser?

And what about the water dispenser? I have well water so I have to have a water dispenser on one of my sinks.

They should go together but they don't have to look like a suite.

Or you could go another route. According to the parts guys at the high end plumbing store, Brasstech soap dispensers are far superior to the rest. The hole is bigger (some are only pinholes) and the mechanism is better. The pump core is guaranteed and they will replace it. Apparently a lot of soap dispensers get gunk up and fail.

Mine don't match, but they do go with them. They are different brands, so not exact, but I chose similar shapes, details and finishes. My faucets are Whitehaus and Blanco and the dispensers are Graff because they were the only ones DH liked (I liked them too, but was slightly less picky -- LOL). Two plus years and no gunking. Works well with the Never MT too.

Taggie: hahahaa. Yes, I think he would notice, because he would be the one installing them. Ã¢ÂÂswitch the top part in for the stainless one and not mention a word about it. Don't know how observant your DH is, but mine would never notice itÃ¢ÂÂ But you know, the water filter faucet is starting to leak a little (wink wink wink)Ã¢ÂÂ¦especially when I bang it w/ my big metal pan!!! Hahahaa Breezygirl: oh, IÃ¢ÂÂm way past year 2012 birthday and anniversary already. My 4 girlfriends and I are heading to South Beach for our birthday celebration next month. For our anniversary, I got my beloved Vitamix Blender (oh how romantic). Christmas 2013 present = IÃ¢ÂÂm getting the Blum Servo for the hands-free trash pullout. As for the handles: funny you mentioned it. Our friend came to help install them this morning. He didnÃ¢ÂÂt have enough time to do them all, but he strategically did not do any of the uppers so that he didnÃ¢ÂÂt have to fight me on installing them horizontally. I didn't mention that I hate wasting stuff. Yes, I can Freecycle them, but...still wasteful. thanks, Amanda

Ahh...that's right, I had forgotten they were going to add the ORB. I found this one at efaucets that says it comes in ORB. I like it and think it matches nicely. Here is a link that might be useful: Kohler Soap dispenser ORB

One came with my Delta faucet and we liked it well enough but it suddenly stopped working after about 6 months of use. I emailed Delta and they sent a replacement even though I had long since lost the receipt, but I bought another from Amazon in the meantime and we liked it so much more. It was metal, which the the Delta one was not. It pushes much smoother also. Sorry for the long URL, it's not letting me put it in the bottom for some reason. http://www.amazon.com/LDR-551-P1200SS-Dispenser-Stainless/dp/B0009VJGC8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1372256285&sr=8-1&keywords=soap+lotion+dispenser

I spent more than a year deciding on my new master bath faucets. Oh yeah, it can take that long and be that complicated. ;) I don't know what your faucet looks like so I can't comment on the match. Maybe you could post the faucet. Do the combo that you like, even if you have to buy the dispenser retail. My dispensers probably won't even be the same brand as my faucets. Sometimes I don't like the dispensers that "go" with the faucets. Pick what you like.

Mine have the same finish, but the faucet is Hansgrohe and the dispenser was Kohler. The spout on the Hansgrohe soap dispenser was was too short.
