I've been looking for a replacement for a long time because the shower hose was getting old. Hardware store hoses didn't fit through my old faucet. So finally ordered this one-hand mixer with hose. Easy to assemble and works perfectly. The water pressure is also significantly better - apparently the old mixer was already a bit overgrown.
In my opinion, the shower head is more likely to be used as a sink mixer. The setting is not advantageous in terms of handling. At the beginning there is a thick jet that must first be converted to the shower function. The water consumption is too great as a result. The effort with wet hands is also too great.
At the price I expected good quality. Unfortunately, after about 13 months, small dark spots appeared on the faucet, which indicated a poor coating. So, wrote to SVB and asked for a replacement. This was followed up very quickly, although the manufacturer did not recognize the complaint, according to the SVB.
The mixer looks exactly the same as the 30 year old mixer on my boat. I was happy and ordered. However, the connections to my hot and cold water pipes don't fit (now male instead of female) and the pipes are 5cm shorter (very annoying). Why doesn't SVB offer options for this product?
No assembly instructions. No flexible hoses, must be obtained separately M 10 external thread. The existing ones from the previous model do not fit the M 8. The previous model had to be replaced because the chrome plating had come off. Removal problematic as the threaded pins are completely corroded. The attachment looks better on the current model. In the end, the assembly failed because one of the threads was cut improperly and the connection hose could not be screwed in. Missed the 14-day withdrawal period because of this theater, so return at your own expense. It remains to be seen whether and how the SVB will recognize the Recklamation. There was now no tap, no water and it is approaching 200 euros
The mixer siht actually quite neat, even if it is nothing special. but that's the problem. So sorry to do it. I have sent back the mixer because the price in my view does not fit the product, so much too high.
Helpful?
