Review on Lead-Free 2-Handle Chrome Bathroom Faucet With Lift Rod Drain Stopper And 4-Inch Centerset Basin Mixer Tap - Perfect For Lavatory Sinks by Robert Jackson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Minor flaws, good value

This is a solid product, and I recommend it overall for the money, but the do-it-yourselfer should know that there are some issues:First and most importantly, it has a bizarrely long outflow pipe (much longer than the standard size). Now, it is better to have too long than too short, but it adds two things- first, be sure you have a hacksaw or the equivalent as a required tool, but second, be sure you measure and cut the excess pipe BEFORE you install it to save yourself a lot of hassle. I had to cut off two inches or so to connect with my (standard height) elbow joint.Second, though it comes with gloves (too small for me but I appreciate the gesture) and pipe tape, it does not come with the silicon for the drain so be sure you have that as well.Lastly, the drain opening and closing mechanism is a) a little flimsy and b) has no kind of screw-on or stopper at the end, so the rod would detach literally every time I used the plug until I put something on the end to stop it from slipping off (I went the lazy route and wrapped with duct tape)If you can handle these minor issues, then it's a great buy.

Pros
  • The basin mixer tap is designed to eliminate leaks and drips
Cons
  • Takes longer than average to fill a sink with water
