Each apartment has a bathroom. It is impossible to do without it somewhere in a country house (only some people prefer to use only a bath). And without what it is impossible to imagine a bathroom? No sink or faucet. This article will focus on the second subject. Moreover, we are going to talk about the best faucets that are close to the title of ideal. You will also get acquainted with the rules for choosing a bathroom faucet.
Which brand bath faucet is better
You can find Hansgrohe products in almost every Russian plumbing store. The mixers of this company are highly reliable - the assembly site located in Germany contributed to this.
For the benefit of the plumbing manufacturer, many creative designers work, thanks to which some faucets get a unique look.
IDDIS
The Russian trademark IDDIS includes a huge number of all kinds of bathroom products.
Mixers of this company have not only high quality, but also an optimal price tag. A wide range allows you to choose a faucet for the interior of any bathroom. The release of this product began in 2004. Since that time, she has won the love of buyers throughout Russia.
As the slogan of the Lemark company says, the manufacturer differs from competitors in attention to detail. Every curve in his faucets has its own meaning! For production, expensive materials are used, due to which a long service life is achieved.
In particular, the company provides a 4-year warranty for brass faucets. And the guarantee for stainless steel products reaches five years!
Rossinka Silvermix
As you can guess from the name, this is a Russian company. However, you should not be afraid of this - all of its mixers have a maximum service life. This is evidenced by at least a seven-year warranty period.
It was possible to achieve such indicators through the use of modern technologies with an eye to Russian conditions. In particular, mixers are not afraid of hard water and strong temperature differences. Foreign impurities are not capable of seriously affecting them.
Vidima plumbing has been in production for over 60 years. The faucets of this company meet all European quality standards and, judging by the statement on the official website, even surpass them! All products come with a five-year warranty.
Faucets are assembled in Bulgaria, but Vidima regularly reminds of German quality - the fact is that the mechanisms used in the assembly are German.

The best single lever bathroom faucets
Vidima Orion B4225AA/BA005AA
This single-lever mixer has an optimal price tag, and therefore a rather large number of Russian residents made a choice in its favor. The product has a vertical installation and allows you to connect a shower head to it, which, by the way, is included in the kit.
Advantages:
- High-quality and reliable design;
- Chrome plated;
- Ceramic cartridge;
- The most popular mounting method;
- Five year warranty;
- Optimal price tag.
Flaws:
- Lack of any unusual technologies;
- Not the best shower hose.
Reviews for Vidima Orion B4225AA/BA005AA show that prices in our country are gradually rising. The manufacturer of this product does not provide any serious technologies that increase the length of the service life.
However, this does not prevent him from raising the price tag quite strongly compared to what was observed two years earlier. But this also applies to all competitors, so it is difficult to write down this fact as a disadvantage.
This faucet immediately captivates with its unusual design. At its core, this product is a typical mixer made of brass. But the appearance makes you think that this is a device from the distant future!
Advantages:
- Unique product design;
- The presence of a nozzle-aerator;
- Reliable and durable design;
- Ceramic cartridge;
- Chrome plated;
- The set includes S-shaped eccentrics.
Flaws:
- High price;
- Problems with the check valve in some instances.
The advantages of this mixer could be listed for a very long time. Reviews for the IDDIS Mirro MIRSBOOI02 show that people like the look, the materials used in the production, and the minimum dimensions.
The method of switching to the shower is also curious here - for this, the spout should be folded under the body. That is to say, the spout performs the role of a lever, and this is very unusual. The problem here is observed only in the check valve - in some instances it causes a whistle. Fortunately, the stores received a very small number of defective copies.
The best two-valve mixers
In Soviet times, almost all residents of our country used two-valve mixers. Therefore, one should not be surprised at the great popularity of the IDDIS Jeals 27004T2K. This product also has revolving handles, so you don't have to learn a new way to use the faucet.
Advantages:
- Very large handles;
- Relatively low price;
- The most popular mounting type;
- The presence of S-shaped eccentrics;
- Chrome plated;
- The shower head does not need a hole in the wall.
Flaws:
- The appearance of the design will not appeal to everyone.
Reviews on IDDIS Jeals 27004T2K show that the product turned out to be reliable and durable. The only controversial point is the shower head, the holder for which is located on the faucet itself. On the one hand, this allows you not to make a hole in the wall.
On the other hand, the design of the product deteriorates noticeably because of this. As for the other characteristics, there are no complaints about them - IDDIS Jeals 27004T2K justifies its cost by 100%.
Vidima Retro R1113AA/B9715AA/BA12TAA
This model most closely resembles those faucets that have been in our homes for a couple of decades. The main difference lies in the design - it is much more reliable, thanks to which Vidima Retro R1113AA (or other products from this series) does not allow leaks for many years.
Advantages:
- The most popular mounting type;
- The presence of a nozzle-aerator;
- Sufficiently large valves;
- Chrome plated;
- Reliable construction.
Flaws:
- Some will not like the design;
- Unreasonably high price tag.
