Starting to hate my Hansgrohe Allego E
Comments (11)With the drain towards the rear of my sink, I found it impossible (not to mention impractical) to find a faucet where the water steam went directly into the drain. The stream from my Delta Trinsic hits about in the center of my sink, and there is no splashing at all. Previously, I had a Hansgrohe Talis S, and it splashed a lot. Maybe it had something to do with the angle of the water stream ... the Talis S projected the water at an angle towards the front of the sink, while the Delta projects the water almost straight down, with just a slight angle towards the front. Since the two have nearly indentical heights as far as the point where the water comes out is concerned, and since they were both used on the same sink, I am assuming that the angle of the water stream had something to do with the splashing. It might also be the case that the Delta has a somewhat stronger water-saver restrictor, though I didn't notice any difference in the water pressure of the stream....See MoreHansgrohe Talis C with Whitehaven sink? other good faucet rec?
Comments (8)I have had the Talis C for 18 months with an ordinary, deep, single-bowl, stainless undermount sink. I didn't know it wasn't recommended. By whom? Splashing? Well, at first there was an adjustment to the deep sink and the high arc. You can splash if you have a spoon sitting in the sink and the water flow hits it. We've all had that happen. There is a sweet spot for entering the flow of water that doesn't cause splashing. I don't splash anymore and I don't have to think about it. I have never had a swiveling problem. I just tested it. When I swivel it to the extreme right or left and let it go, it does move maybe an inch back toward center. That's it. My drain is smack dab in the center of my sink (which I don't mind), but I often have two things going on in my sink so I frequently move it to one side or the other and it stays put. I don't know if mine has the higher or lower pressure output. I suspect the lower and it works fine for me. There is a magnet for docking the hose back in tight. The sprayer stays on until you turn the faucet off, i.e., you do not have to keep pressing the spray button. I would actually prefer it being a toggle on/off switch, so that when I want a regular stream rather than a spray I don't have to turn it off, then on again. I use the sprayer all the time for whooshing everything down the drain since I have a grid at the bottom. Haha, I just looked over at my faucet and it is still obediently off-center in the left-hand part of my sink. I would prefer the handle in the front, so that when I hold things in my right hand (I'm right-handed) I don't have to reach over with my left to adjust the flow or temp. Also, less drips on the counter....See MoreHansgrohe Prep Sink faucets?
Comments (20)I have a faucet that is by C-Tech-I that looks a lot like the Hansgrohe. I got the C-tech-I to avoid the higher cost of the Hansgrohe, and it is solid stainless steel. I have a sink from the same company and have been satisfied with it too. If I had to do it again I would get the Hansgrohe because the angle of my faucet is so straight down. I get a little bit of a splatter to the back counter. I have since rotated my handle to be oriented over the sink like Breezy and Cheri127 have. It helps keep the wet hand drips from getting all over the back of the counter. This picture is before my handle was repositioned: While I think mine is too tight of an angle, I love it otherwise. I really like the pull down feature over the pull out type. I think it is ergonomically easier....See MoreCostco Hansgrohe - Good quality?
Comments (24)I beg to differ. While the big box, mass merchants may not dictate specifications and certainly whomever isn’t manufacturing “special” faucets, the big box stores do have enough purchasing power to dictate price. As in, “we’re willing to buy a 100,000 faucets but we’ll only pay x dollars per faucet.” It’s up to the manufacturer figure out how to make a faucet at x dollars each and still turn a profit. All too often that means cheaper components and, of course, labor. Then the manufacturer may be required to provide signage (POP), displays, labor to move the displays, and buy-back of merchandise that doesn’t sell. Want some interesting reading, try “slotting fees” in grocery stores....See MoreFamCook
