Which kitchen faucet is better to choose

Summarizing our review of the best manufacturers of kitchen faucets, here are the key guidelines needed to make the right choice:

• Weight. Pay attention to the weight of the mixer. Always choose heavier items, as light weight may indicate the use of plastics and silumin in the production.
• Quality. Check the faucet and spout for smooth rotation, twist and touch the faucet.All moving parts of a quality product will move smoothly, without sudden changes and extraneous sounds.
• Stationary and rotary. For the kitchen, it is more advisable to choose faucets with a pull-out spout. These models really facilitate the process of washing bulky dishes and vegetables or fruits.
• Manufacturing material. Give preference to mixers made of brass alloy. This is the most durable option. However, it is worth emphasizing that it is worth choosing trusted manufacturers who use only high-quality brass free of lead in their production.
• The presence of an aerator. A small but very important detail that prevents the jet from splashing, as it softens the impact of water on the sink. Most mixers today are equipped with silicone aerators, they are easy to clean and easy to remove limescale;

And one more important observation for housewives who love cleanliness:
Any faucet will shine for longer if the controls are located under the spout or to the side.
