What you are buying is the brand and have to assume the build quality and life. Hard to judge those aspects at this early stage. But the flow from this tap is abysmal. Very weak. It's a shame you can't test the product before purchase because you can't return it once it's installed. It looks great with the hidden pull out and matches our black Blanco sink. But the pull out doesn't work smoothly for us due to the taps and pipes under our sink. Our plumber hated installing this tap and found it hard. One of the things that caused trouble was the nut to clamp the tap in place was said to be 16mm, and it wasn't, closer to 17mm. The plumber couldn't get a tube spanner from any plumbing supply or hardware store to fit and do the job. In the end I had to go to an auto parts store to get a tube spanner fit for spark plugs to be able to do the job.

Looks great and build quality is excellent, and matches my Blanco sink. Also I have no problem with the lack of water pressure from my tap - there is more than enough water flow.

I absolutely love the look and functionality of this tap. My only complaint is that the water pressure is disappointing because of the pull out piece. Wish I’d known that before I brought it.
