Review on Houzer SCEPO 263 BB Scepter Kitchen Brushed by Simon Connelly

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Unfortunately, this is not Hamat - Kitchen & Bath

Hamat makes the world's finest faucets from quality parts. In 2017, they acquired Houzer, who now makes faucets for them that look like the old Hamat models, but are just worthy replacements. The looks and finish are still premium, but the handles don't work as smoothly, and the woven stainless steel Hamat used for the drawer tubing has been replaced with the same cheap plastic used by inferior companies and covered in stainless steel-look steel , to make it look like old materials, so the hose kinks slightly right at the extendable handle, preventing the water from flowing. Bottom line, the faucet looks very nice, but also doesn't work anywhere and is still sold at an insane price. It's still better than many garbage taps on the market, but disappointing overall.

Pros
  • Traditional precision design, solid brass construction
Cons
  • Clarity
