the last mixer from Grohe lasted 15 years. The reliability of the brand is time-tested. However, the difference in generations is still noticeable - the eyeliner is now flexible, the metal goes to the mixer three times less than before. Even the clamping nut is no longer brass, but ordinary galvanized. The plug in the drain also goes not metal, but plastic. In general, the savings, I hope, are justified, let's see how it will be in operation and reliability.
