2.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful but Flawed, Artic leaves me Cold, August 31, 2008

Beautiful fixture BUT:

It comes with no instructions and no pop-up rod, and once installed it sounds like an airliner taking off when you turn it on even a little. Can be heard throughout the house.

AND caution: it requires 1 3/8" holes. Wish I'd known that before I ordered.

OK, the reason I bought this is two-fold. I purchased my two-bed, two-bath condo two years ago. It was renovated by the seller; he used a lot of modern fixtures that were pretty unique. My roommate moved in not too long after I purchased and it was easy since we didn't have to share bathrooms (a very good thing). Her bathroom was outfitted with this fixture when we moved in, but I had no idea where the seller purchased his material (and apparently neither did he). Either way, she not only managed to chip the glass disk that you see pictured, but the cartridge in the shaft went bad. The plumber diagnosing the issue mentioned that that is a trade-off with cheaper fixtures; they tend to have plastic parts rather than ceramic pieces that don't wear and tear as quickly. I had a choice to make: allow him to charge me out the nose for a Moen fixture that didn't match the decor or use my internet hunting skills to track down the exact fixture as a replacement. I chose the latter and found the same fixture here on Amazon and some other sites. A different plumber installed it after I received it less than 24 hours after ordering it(holy AMAZON PRIME!) and he had some trouble at first; I think it was because he was missing a part that he should have had rather than a difficult fixture to begin with. He asked that I help him hold the fixture in place while he screwed it tight underneath, so keep in mind that you might need assistance. Other than that, it was a relatively simple install and works like a charm! It's not very expensive but it LOOKS expensive, something that I kept in mind when mulling over the options I found on other sites. Yes, it's a bit loud when the water is flowing, but I never really thought of it as odd when I moved in (I sleep like a ton of bricks, anyway).

If you are looking for something stylish, inexpensive and easy to install, I think this fits the bill!

These faucets look betten than a lot of other much more expensive ones. They also look better than similar ones with square glass plates in my opinion. Ignore the two star rating. I just installed two of these faucets. They don't sound much noisier than my old one. It's a little noisier because it offers more volumn of water flow. Installation is quite easy if your existing plumbing is ready. A typical water line is 3/8 X 1/2 connecting the supply line shut off valve and the American style faucets. You just need to take one of the supplied water lines to a hardware store to get a proper adapter/coupling.

I just threw away my old faucet, single sink onyx countertop, and vanity and installed these faucets, double sink granite countertop and vanity. I am not a plumber and have not done much plumbing work. Naturally the task of converting a single sink to a double setting seems daunting. Now I can safely say that any one with regular physical ability, general common sense and enough time can do it. You just need to make many trips to the stores and get help from sales people, but you still need to make final decision yourself. I got a lot of help from Ace Hardware, but I didn't find all the parts that are ideal for my project. After checking out Lowe's and Home Depot, I found some plastic plumbing parts that fit better and saved me from getting more extensions/fittings and doing more trimmings. The idea of hiring a plumber did flash through my mind sometimes, but then doing it yourself has the benefit of understanding your system. You don't have to hire a plumber again when you have to repair it.

A lot of local stores in my area carry these faucets these days. I paid less and no tax getting them from Amazon. Plus these faucets come with their own pop-up drains, adding to their value. I am not sure if other faucets come with their own drains. I highly recommend these faucets.
