Like as long as it's UPC and NSF certified and not shady unbranded Alibaba crap.
There's a faucet we like from https://www.vigoindustries.com/ which seems like a pretty legit brand despite being made in China, but even a lot of other well known brands also import their stuff from China.
The designers helping us with the bathroom are recommending a local brand called Pearl, as well as another one called Riobel. Both also seem to be made in China.
Tbh price of the Vigo looks to be close to the other stuff we just like the style, so it's not like it's a pure money savings decision to cheap out on it. Just not sure if it's overpriced for what it is. |
I got a the vigo facuets for my kitchen in 2016 (when they were $150, now they charge $500 for the same model...lol)
after around 6 years, the faucets started "leaking"... I contacted them, sent the video and receipts, and they sent me a new faucets for free... so I guess that's a good thing
also I have the stainless finish on the faucet, it never rust, fade or tarnish, BUT it looks like they put some kind of of clear coat on the stainless steel which started wearing off after 4-5 years. (Under the handle that was constantly expose to water)
Pic of the faucet & kitchen, I got it because it looks big and chunky like those commercial faucets, and only $150 at the time.
The sprayer doesn't actually work well at all.
