Being a plumber for over 20 years, I have seen too many of these faucets. In the 90's they were really the bottom of the barrel, but they have been making great strides in quality and performance. They are a less expensive faucet and have shown that they can stand up to the daily grind. 10 years ago I would have talked you out of getting one, but now they are a good faucet and worth the money you pay for it.
