Frap F4352 - universal inexpensive mixer

Number of sales: 2300Average product rating: 4.9

View on Aliepxress

Perhaps, of the manufacturers presented in the top, Frap is the most famous in our area. Their faucets can also be found in Russian stores. True, they will cost more than on Aliexpress.

Model F4352 is a bestseller on Aliexpress and seems to be a universal option due to its simple shapes, different colors and low cost. The spout is straight, but the height is not very large, because the tap itself is small. Anyone who needs it can buy an aerator. There is a built-in channel for a water filter.

Overall, the faucet looks more expensive than its cost. Heavy. Ceramic cartridge. Everything for installing the faucet is included in the kit (some complain that the hose included in the kit is short - for those who are critical).

The faucet is sold in the official Frap store on aliexpress (there are many other cool faucets and other plumbing fixtures there). Everything is delivered by SDEK courier service directly to your home.

Rating

Choosing a bathroom faucet is not an easy task, despite the wide range in stores. The abundance of sparkling chrome products from dozens of companies causes slight confusion. A rating of modern bathroom faucets by well-known manufacturers will help you choose the best one.

The plumbing market is conventionally divided into levels: top, medium, budget. Up to 70% of cheap models are produced in China. Leading companies do not shy away from cooperation with China, placing orders and opening branches.

In addition to the usual inexpensive fittings, surviving domestic factories offer examples of advanced designs. Czech producers settled in the middle peasants. Germany has squeezed out Italians from the middle and upper price groups.

Historically, the best faucet manufacturers are concentrated in Europe. The combination of innovation, tradition, impeccable quality, established design schools are the advantages of top category brands where price is not a decisive factor.

Which imported bathroom faucets are the most durable and reliable? The question does not have a clear answer, but German manufacturers top the quality rating.

① GROHE

GROHE's reputation is based on four pillars:

• Design. Embodies the perfect union of aesthetics and content. GROHE collections have been awarded the prestigious international Red Dot award 15 times for their impeccable design.
• Quality. All new products are tested by simulating daily use for 20 years with high water hardness.
• Technologies. Key areas: comfort, safety, water saving. Smooth lever movement, quiet operation, precise temperature control, wear-resistant coating - GROHE features.
• Environmentally friendly. The company stands for conscious saving of resources while ensuring maximum convenience. GROHE EcoJoy™ – reduces consumption by 40 – 50%.

The brand is successfully promoted on the Russian market due to its diversity, excellent characteristics, and reasonable prices. Along with prestigious floor solutions and side structures, affordable options are offered in the range from 7,000 to 20,000 rubles.

Branded fittings are a good example of a thorough approach, regardless of ranking. Thus, the GROHE BauLoop wall-mounted single-lever mixer is equipped with a 46 mm GROHE SilkMove® ceramic cartridge, temperature limiter, automatic switch, built-in non-return valve, economical aerator, GROHE StarLight® chrome plated. The inexpensive variety has all the advantages of the brand, surpassing a number of well-known competitors in functionality.

Smart products from GROHE include thermostatic and digital taps.

Shower systems occupy a special place.

② Hansgrohe

The founder of Hansgrohe, Hans Grohe, set an immutable standard - the unity of perfection of form and functionality. Since 1901, the company from the Black Forest has been on a path of excellence and innovation, bringing benefit and pleasure to its customers.

In the field of hand showers, overhead showers, shower sets and systems, Hansgrohe has been one step ahead of its rivals since the invention of the universally available hand shower (1928) and shower bar (1953). High price corresponds to exceptional functionality.

Hansgrohe designs range from laconic modern to luxurious modern interpretations of classics.

③ KLUDI

KLUDI is the flagship of German manufacturers of premium sanitary ware. It originated back in 1926 from a family enterprise, production is concentrated in 5 European factories.

KLUDI's credo is quality plus tradition. Attention to detail, strict control of the technological process, constant introduction of current trends, expansion of the range of products have won consumer recognition.

The popular organic trend harmoniously combines body contours, water-saving technology due to air saturation, and low noise. The noise level of AMBIENTA mixers does not exceed 20 dB at a pressure of 3 atm.

AMBIENTA

④ CEZARES

CEZARES is a brand that confirms the opinion that the best bathroom faucets are made by Italians. The cost is impressive: 100,000 rubles is not the limit. However, having spent money, the buyer becomes the owner of a real work of art.

Grace and smooth lines are the hallmarks of the classic CEZARES collections. Chrome or bronze design, crystal wings - will emphasize the luxurious decoration of the room. Red copper coatings, 24 carat gold, marble handles are suitable for the most sophisticated interior.

DIAMOND ATLANTIS

The taps are entirely made of Ariel series stainless steel, treated to look like “satin”, a high-reliability status solution. Retro style is the company’s calling card; fans of modernism, minimalism, and Hi-Tech will also choose models to suit their taste. Floor-mounted, wall-mounted, built-in, and side-mounted options are available.

⑤ BANDINI

Italians are trendsetters in industrial design. Emotional perception is brought to the fore by the studio's specialists; BANDINI manages to combine individual style and advanced developments.

The classic approach is reflected in the collections: Antica, Old England. Pleasant to the eye, smooth curves, rounded transitions, conservative colors: chrome, gilding, white enamel - recognizable brand elements. Laconicism, practicality, simplicity of lines are inherent in the representatives of Ice Cube and Dive.

Wealthy customers have known BANDINI since the 90s, but service problems may arise in the regions. Get ready to pay extra for the brand if you want to have exclusive plumbing fixtures.

Average level

Large concerns strive to reach a larger circle of people. The classification is relative; the previously reviewed brands, with the exception of CEZARES, are also represented in a moderate price group, but typical mid-range brands cannot boast of an abundance of expensive modifications.

Most European manufacturers firmly occupy the middle-class product segment. Conventionally, subcategories are distinguished: upper, middle, lower, corresponding to the cost ranges: 50,000 – 70,000; 30000 – 50000; 10,000 – 30,000 rub.

① Damixa

The rating of relatively affordable faucets for a modern bathroom is headed by the Danish Damixa, owned by the global MASCO group. The Danes were the first in Europe to produce a single-jaw mixer with a ball shut-off and control unit, and introduced an indication of hot and cold water. Feedback from the consumer allows us to constantly improve products and move forward.

In addition to the usual ceramic cartridges, Damixa equips the fittings with a patented ball mechanism. The latter allows you to expand the comfort zone to 22% of the lever stroke versus 13% for the ceramic disc regulator. Repairs cost up to 5% of the cost of the faucet versus 25% when replacing the cartridge.

Bronze coating using Brilliance technology, developed by NASA, is not inferior to traditional chrome in terms of wear resistance and does not corrode. Damixa know-how is coatings made from natural granite chips.

Comfort zone - the sector of rotation of the handle, which ensures the optimal water temperature of 30 - 40˚С.

Damixa has created a rational assortment according to fashion trends. Pay attention to the strict Slate series, elegant Willow, functional Rowan, bestseller Jupiter Trend.

Damixa provides a 5-year warranty on main parts, 2 years on hoses, gaskets, faucet axle boxes, shower kits. Completing service at an authorized center after the warranty expires extends it by 5 years.

The main goal of the Finnish company Oras is to make products that improve the quality of life. The models are distinguished by their discreet appearance, good quality, and reasonable cost. Oras monitors and promptly introduces innovations: already in the 90s, the contactless electronic first-born was introduced.

Universal mixer - advantages and disadvantages?

By installing separate sanitary ware elements in the spirit of “one faucet for the sink and one for the bathroom”, you increase the convenience and possibilities of their use. But what to do if the bathroom area is small and you can get by with just one? In this case, the answer to the question of how to choose a bathroom faucet will be a sequence of two actions:

1. Search for a row/stand with universal faucets
2. Selecting the appropriate material, configuration and drain length

We have already talked about the material. As for the equipment, it is necessary to take into account the length of the shower supply hose, the method of fastening (if any), as well as the type of mixer (one of the three discussed above). The length of the spout must be at least 30 cm, otherwise the nozzle simply will not reach the center of the sink and will become quite inconvenient when washing your hands.

This type of bathtub faucets has long been known and does not lose its popularity, especially in small towns. This is an economical and quite convenient option that you will definitely like.
