Rating: 4.9

When developing the Grohe Grohtherm 1000 34143003 mixer, the German manufacturer took into account the peculiarities of Russian life. A two-lever thermostat is an excellent solution to the problem of inconsistent water temperature. The device has an eco mode, which makes the work not only efficient, but also economical. Experts note the high quality of the mixer, as well as a 5-year warranty from the manufacturer. The durability of the unit is ensured by the brass body, made in high-tech style. The mixer parts are protected from corrosion by a multilayer nickel-chrome coating. Considering the ease of installation, the model is the winner of our review.

Users liked the layout of the handles and inputs, which makes installation simple. There are no complaints about the build quality and technical parameters.

Advantages

• German quality;
• 5-year warranty;
• stylish design;
• ease of connection.

Oras Nova 7471

Rating: 4.8

Another thermostatic mixer took the top spot on the podium. The Finnish model Oras Nova 7471 is distinguished by a right-sided hot water connection. The handle has a temperature limiter that prevents burns on contact. Experts appreciated EcoFlow's control over water flow, as well as the inclusion of dirt filters and valves in the kit. It will not be difficult to select a spout for the unit. It was not possible to overtake the leader of the model due to the weakly expressed effect of maintaining temperature.

Users believe that calling Oras Nova 7471 a thermostat is a stretch. But the combination of price and quality is considered optimal, given the Finnish assembly and chrome-plated brass body.

Advantages

• rich equipment;
• high-quality assembly;
• economical water consumption.

Flaws

• weak effect of maintaining temperature.

What to look for when choosing a bathroom faucet

• Ergonomics. Ideally, the stream of water from the tap should fall exactly into the drain.
• Materials. Most often, brass, stainless steel, silumin or zinc are used in production. Cheaper models use stainless steel, which is durable but susceptible to corrosion. Zinc is also weak to corrosion, and is also brittle. Therefore, take a closer look at faucets made of brass (an alloy of zinc and copper). They contain everything: both strength and corrosion resistance.
• Type of mixer. It comes with one or two valves, single lever, non-contact, thermostatic. A classic among them is a mixer with two valves, where each valve regulates hot or cold water. It is simple and reliable to use. But the easiest way to work is with a single lever.
• Coating. For coating, the manufacturer uses chrome, granite, stainless steel, brass, nickel, copper, and bronze. Some models are combined to achieve a specific design, for example, gold, chrome with granite, etc. Here, be guided by your own taste, starting from the style in the interior.
• Manufacturer's warranty. Applies only to manufacturer defects. Anything that occurs during operation is not included in the warranty. Choose a faucet with a two-year warranty. This sign shows the reliability and quality of the product.
• Additional functionality. The mixer also has additional functions. These include a water filter, aerator, pull-out spout, switches for the washing machine and dishwasher, etc.
