Review on ๐Ÿšฟ Pfister LF 049 JDGS Bathroom Defense Brushed Chrome by Mike Ogunlana

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks great in the bathroom. There are no suitable fittings for Roman baths etc. So be careful!

This faucet immediately upgraded my bathroom. I like the way it looks. Here are a few things you should know: (1) Remove old faucet handles: Not possible if they are rusty and you do it "as directed". I couldn't turn off the old faucets at all. A handy Dremel tool with a metal cutter mounted and working from above removed the old handle assemblies in less than five minutes each. (2) The grips did not fit at all when reassembled according to the instructions. I found a video online on how to remove the knobs and the secret is that they screw into the valve assembly. This is not described at all in the instructions. After rotating the bottom of the handle a few times, the handle will lock into place. (3) There is no suitable facility for a Roman bath. I have a roman bath that just needs some good decorative hardware to match the sink fixtures. Pfister doesn't make them. I'm really a little upset about this. (4) There appear to be flow restrictors, but the water flow is sufficient for sink use. (5) If you install one, the next one will be installed very quickly. It's actually incredibly easy to install once you have some experience. However, the instructions are not that great.

Pros
  • Sanitary ware for kitchen and bathroom
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
