Danze D203012 Melrose Single-Handle Lavatory Faucet, Chrome

Bought five of these to replace builder grade faucets. I wasn't expecting too much for the price but I was very pleasantly surprised. These faucets are built like a tank. They have a very solid feel. It seems like the chrome is nice and heavy. Gunk wipes off easily and it shines like new.

I messed up and ended up having to call customer service for a part under warrantee. They shipped it out quickly and actually sent two! So, customer service is top notch.

Cons: I had to look long and hard to find any. The strainer that comes with it is simply that, a strainer. It does not close to allow the sink to fill with water. Since I wasn't expecting a strainer, I was fine with that. Another point is that they have a somewhat contemporary look. Of course, I knew that by the pictures and it is a matter of personal preference. And, finally, the last con is that they are not 2.0 gallon/minute water saving flow. Under 80psi, they operate at 2.5gpm! But, the flow seems even stronger. The aerator works very well.

Installation was as easy as any faucet. (I hate plumbing with a passion but it was as painless as I could hope!)

Overall, I highly recommend this faucet.

I bought a pair of these to replace some very old dual translucent knob faucets. They were forty dollars each as part of an Amazon gold box deal.

The installation was straight forward and took about 30 minutes each (most of the time spent removing the old faucets.) The drain piece which comes with them only has a screen over the top - there is no plunger to stop up the drain if you want to fill the sink. The single handle moves smoothly and is guided to the center when you turn off the faucet.

For the gold box price, they serve the purpose, look nice, and clean up easily (my kids tend to get toothpaste all over them.)
