Focus Modern Timeless Easy Clean 1-Handle 1 12-inch Tall Bathroom Sink Faucet in Chrome, 31609001

I bought the Hansgrohe Focus single-handle faucet to replace an old chrome fixture with two control knobs that came with my condo and which I didn't care for. I installed the Hansgrohe faucet myself, which was pretty easy to do, if you have a modicum of "do-it-yourself" skill. If not, then, definitely hire a plumber. The hardest part of the job was removing the old faucet, which was connected by an unholy mix of copper pipes (not the standard braided steel tubes) and hard-to-remove connectors. It was tough, but, I got through it. I love the modern, high arch design of this spout, which is made of brass with a nickel finish. The faucet has a very solid feel and is well-made. Max flow rate is 1.5 gallons per minute. Be aware that this faucet features a very high spout, which might not be to everyone's taste, but, I like it, because one doesn't have to lean down far towards the sunk if brushing one's teeth, or, washing one's face. Also -- big improvement over my old faucet -- the new spout comes out over the sink to a greater length, eliminating the old faucet's annoying issue of constantly splashing water on the vanity surface and wall because of the spout's low arch and short extension length. And, of course, the main selling point for me was getting the convenience of single-handle temperature adjustment, which really should be a standard design requirement, in my book. The single-handle knob on the Hansgrohe feels solid and well-made, and turns very smoothly. The faucet is easy to clean, too (no nooks and crannies for dirt to build up). The spout can be turned about 120 degrees left or right, and, the aerator can be removed very easily by unscrewing it, in order to clean it. Whatever faucet you end up buying, I would recommend going with a brushed nickel finish, as opposed to the standard chrome. It does cost a little more, but, I think that the aesthetics of nickel are far superior. In my humble opinion, anyway.

great faucet, great quality

The appearance is appealing, the faucet was straight forward to install. The drain did not fit the 1.5 inch drain hole, it was too small and it leaked no matter how you install it. The attachment to the drain was also very cumbersome. I had to buy a separate pop-up drain.

great faucet and it was delivered ahead of schedule

Was difficult to install in Israel as it is different connectors eventually I needed to buy new adaptor’s for additional 30 Bucks but it works

Installed 2 of these in our new office and only after fully installed can you tell that the faucet is very flimsy and wobbles. If it was 1 faucet I would think it was the installation, but it was 2. I’d like to remove her and buy new faucets, but we threw away the packaging. So I guess I’m stuck.

Very good.
