Does Anyone Have the Grohe Alira Pullout Faucet?

Comments (4)Chrome is chrome. It's the same across all manufacturers. The only difference is if it's a brushed look versus a shiny look. Some manufacturers that offer both will distinguish the shiny by calling it Polished Chrome, but it's not any different than the standard shiny chrome on the cheapest $30 faucet to the most expensive $2K faucet as long as the manufacturer uses the PVD process to apply it to the brass underneath....See MoreTell me about your Grohe pullout faucets
Comments (9)I have two Grohe faucets from the Ladylux3 line. One is a pull out, the other is a pull down. They are both great faucets. We previously had a Grohe Ladylux Plus pull out which was also a great faucet. The pull out has a switch and toggle between stream and spray. The pull down has a switch only; you have to turn it off to switch back to stream. Neither of them hang out/down. They have metal hoses which was a big plus for me. You simply click them back into place to return them to dock, if you don't there is a very slight gap in the pull down when you don't click it into place. It's the cheaper faucets that will hang down and look messy. I would check out faucetdirect.com. They are a reputable company with great customer service. I have purchased many products from them over the last few years....See Moreseeking info on the Brizo Solna (63221) faucet? anybody own one?
Comments (11)Irina, Thanks for the info. I checked the parts diagram and except for the lever design and the hidden spray head of the Solna, the Brizo Solna, Delta Trask and Delta Trinisic use exactly the same parts for one hole installation. Hopefully, that means your experience with the handle should apply to the similar Delta models as well. I need a faucet immediately to replace a leaky faucet. In the long run, I need two faucets and possibly a beverage faucet for a kitchen remodel, but I am not ready to purchase them now. I went ahead and purchased a Delta Trask faucet in chrome to replace the leaky faucet. I like the look of the Solna but I like the convenience of a non-hidden spray head. The lower price of the Trask and being able to buy it today at Lowes tipped the scale. I figure if I want to match pieces from Trinsic or Solna later on, I can always change out the lever if I need to. For anyone looking for reviews on the articulating Brizo Solna, we did order it. Unlike some of the other member of this forum, I love the industrial/modern look of it. The faucet head is a little bit bigger than the "upside down J models", namely the Delta Trask and Trinsic and presumably the similar-looking non-articulating member of the Solna family. Hence, it should generate wider streams and sprays. The lever moves very smoothly. The lever motion range allows the temperature setting to be saved when the faucet is turned off. The articulating Solna shares some looks but (virtually?) no parts with other members of the Solna family. I really like the idea of being able to adjust the spray head up/down and forward/back in addition to side-to-side. However, we reluctantly decided to return the articulating Solna without even installing it because of two design flaws. The most obvious one is that the lever is long and it is mounted very high on the stem. It significantly interferes with the rotation of the faucet arm. The second potential problem is that the black hose from the stem to the spray head is very stiff and not very long. Not only does it resist being bent into the position necessary to aim it toward what is being washed, it stresses the point where the hose is connected to the metal stem. This point is reinforced but only with plastic or rubber. Seems like a high chance for the hose to crack at this connection point. The first should be a really easy design change. It simply requires lowering the handle and making it a little bit shorter so the top is below the point where the articulating arm attaches to the stem. Hopefully, the Brizo designers will figure this out and fix this problem. It is a really cool looking faucet! The articulating arm would have been very functional as well. I am sad to return it....See MoreLana Shulman
