But which of the many manufacturers presented on the modern market are still better?

Market leaders in faucets. TOP best manufacturers

The rating pedestal for faucets and accessories can be compiled from different points of view and according to various criteria (reliability, price, warranty period, material, variety model range, design, market availability, ease of installation and use).

Thanks to many years of analysis of consumer demand, the TOP best manufacturers of faucets for sinks and bathtubs is the following list:

• HANSGROHE and GROHE
• JACOB DELAFON
• VIDIMA
• LEMARK

The first line of leadership is traditionally occupied by brands from Germany, such as Hansa, Grohe, Hansgrohe, which have been operating on the market for more than a century. In most cases, they present brass products of impeccable quality, which boast a long warranty period of at least 10 years. Next come Italian family firms - Gessi, Visentin, Newform. European quality at a reasonable price, multiplied by exquisite style, is given to the consumer by the French manufacturer Delafon. The fourth step in the ranking is occupied by a brand from Finland, widely known to Russian consumers as Oras. Finally, the top five is completed by the Spanish company Roca, which represents a whole range of design lines in any style, from classic to high-tech, and Teka, sold in 100 countries around the world.

The best of the best: features and advantages of faucet manufacturing companies

Hansgrohe began its development in 1901. From then to this day, she continues to accumulate many years of experience, turning her own masterful developments into unique, luxury products that will appeal to consumers thanks to their stylish appearance, ease of care and the ability to create the most comfortable space in or in the kitchen.

The faucets of this company are laconic and modest in form, but presentable in appearance and functionality. Their only drawback is their rather high price.

Among the popular models of mixers are the Focus series models. For example, the Focus E2 mixer, which has a ceramic mixing unit, a water temperature limiter and an aerator. Water flow is 5 l/min. Compatible with instantaneous water heater. Has a chrome finish. The average price is 50 euros.

Logis Classic is a kitchen faucet model with two ceramic valves for hot and cold water+90 °C degrees. Used for instantaneous water heaters. Water consumption – 5 l/min. Swivel spout angle 120 degrees. The average price is 70 euros.

All faucets of the brand use a number of innovative solutions that operate in different directions - in the field of saving water, simplifying installation and reducing time for care and maintenance.

The manufacturer has tried to equip almost all models with EcoSmart technology, which allows saving water consumption (water consumption is reduced by up to 60%, amounting to approximately 5 l/min). It is implemented through the aeration function and a special elastic water flow limiter when the water flow is saturated with air, as well as through automatic response to changes in water pressure with subsequent flow limitation.

Working for decades, without knowing any compromises, the company has earned the status of a manufacturer of 100% quality products with excellent design and impressive manufacturability, which sets the tone for all competitors in the future.

BauClassic is a single-lever model of basin mixer with a smooth body. Single hole mounting, metal lever. The mixer is also equipped with an aerator. There is a system quick installation. The average price is 59 euros.

Grohe faucets of the Eurosmart, Europlus, Eurostyle, Eurodisc series today have become the personification of fashion and quality. For example, model 23037002 of a single-lever mixer from the Eurostyle cosmopolitan line will be able to attract consumer attention with such advantages as ease of execution, ceramic mechanism and monolithic spout. An important quality is compatibility with both the sink and washbasin. There is a quick installation system, an aerator, and a plug during draining.

If you need a rotating spout mechanism, it is better to pay attention to the chrome-plated model from the same collection under number 23043002. It has a flexible hose, but the price is higher.

If the key characteristic is compactness, it is better to give preference to a model from the Eurosmart series - 23323001. The design is based on brass with an anti-corrosion coating and a ceramic mechanism. These qualities will be the key to long-lasting and trouble-free operation. The mixer is equipped with an aerator, water pressure regulator, 35 mm ceramic cartridge, flexible hoses, and temperature limiter.

JACOB DELAFON has been manufacturing bathroom fittings for over a century. The main trump card of the company is high ergonomics, the best steel combined with a stylish classic design, where everything is thought out to the smallest nuances.

The model range consists of collections characterized by smoothness and a peculiar “fluidity” of forms. These qualities are also shared by the Delafon Cuff E45532 CP single-lever wall-mounted brass faucet with a chrome-plated body and adjustable temperature fluctuations water. The mixer is designed for bath and shower.

The company recently introduced faucets equipped with sensors that can monitor water temperature and pressure in the plumbing system, which makes it possible to significantly extend the life of the faucets. Although the warranty period is not too modest - 5 years. The only disadvantages include the manufacturer’s excessive commitment to traditional design.

These include the single-lever basin mixer from the ALEO E72275 CP collection. Round chrome plated shape. Installation is carried out on the sink. Material: brass.

The homeland of the ORAS brand is Finland, and the main production facilities are located in Poland, Germany and the Czech Republic. The products are distinguished from competitors by their affordable price with decent quality and external characteristics, and this is exactly what a wide range of consumers need.

The main direction of activity, according to the manufacturer, is the manufacturability of solutions, so its devices can rightfully be called a “miracle”. They are able to “remember” the water temperature and regulate its supply, “monitor” the economical use of resources and prevent the risk of burns.

One of the popular faucet models is ORAS Vienda 1725F-60 - a single-lever faucet with a swivel spout and valve for a dishwasher. Case material – brass, chrome plated. A special feature of the model is the matte color of the case.

Thanks to the thermostat, the Oras Safira 1348U bath and shower mixer can remember temperature regime, used in most cases, which eliminates the possibility of burns. The set includes a spout with a switch and an aerator. EcoFlow water flow control is provided. It is possible to regulate the temperature.

Shower mixer Oras Nova 7446Х. Working pressure - 100 - 1000 kPa, water flow 0.24 l/sec, chrome plated, ceramic cartridge.

The manufacturer has several collections in its arsenal, each model of which is ergonomic, silent and reliable. There are also luxury plumbing fixtures with an electronic control system.

Among the disadvantages is the use of ABS plastic, which reduces the service life of the products.

ROCA is a manufacturer whose specialty is exquisite design combined with technological innovation.

Each device released under this brand is, without exaggeration, a masterpiece of plumbing. At the same time, the quality and service life are not inferior to external beauty, and the cost remains at a relatively low level. Mixers from this manufacturer can be purchased at prices ranging from $50 to $300, but there are also models that are much more expensive. Avant-garde and classic, Provence and high-tech, the most demanding buyer will be captivated by the variety of styles.

The Bulgarian company VIDIMA is almost the only one of a series of numerous competitors that openly displays data on the resources of its products for public viewing. In this way, buyers receive a real, rather than projected, idea of ​​the specific service life of a particular device under certain conditions of its use.

In other words, this manufacturer does not at all strive to “catch up and overtake” anyone, but, first of all, makes everything necessary for the average family - convenient and simple equipment with a universal design, reliable ergonomics and traditional style. The faucet of this brand for sink and washbasin BA007AA of the Sirius series, for example, is in no way inferior to more expensive and “promoted” German analogues.

The BA244AA Quadro series model with a 5-year warranty is also distinguished by its compactness and simple but pleasant design. Two-grip model for washbasin.

LEMARK mixers – European standard and attention to detail

The manufacturer Lemark has long established itself in Russian market. Each model is tested in laboratory conditions. As a rule, the manufacturer gives a 4-year warranty on faucets. The products are safe for health, as they are created on the basis of high-quality brass. Mixers are distinguished by their original design, reliability, practicality and affordable prices.

A striking example of new products is the single-lever model of the Comfort LM3061C mixer made of brass. The mixer is equipped with an aerator and a 3.5 mm ceramic cartridge. It is possible to connect to a drinking water filter.

Another original model of modern design mixer Unit LM4506C. The mixer is equipped with a metal handle, cartridge and aerator. Service life is more than 30 years.
