????Blanco Faucet????Must know now

18 years ago

I asked about this faucet as part of another post, and I think it got lost in my ramblings (starting to panic about making concrete decisions).

I need your help. Has anyone used a Blanco faucet? I had to go to a lower faucet so may plantation shutter over my sink could actually open. What do you think of this one? For those of you with Ticor sinks, would the finish match? Link below.

The other one they suggested was a Grohe Alira-I don't like the look as much, but it was highly recommended. It was also more money. The blue is actually gray.

Please, please, please...ease my mind!

    Forget about Blanco faucets. They make great sinks, but their faucets are not the best quality. You cannot go wrong with the Grohe Alira. They have the best warranty in the business and their customer service is awesome. You might be able to find it online for a few dollars less, but I strongly recommend purchasing from a local authorized dealer. Carleen

    I have a Blanco faucet in my present kitchen sink. It's almond to match my almond Blanco sink. I've liked it very much and plan to buy another for our new house when we build--this one will be stainless steel or brushed nickel as I'm having a double stainless sink. I've had the Blanco faucet since we remodeled the kitchen eight years ago--no problems and I really like it.

    Hope this helps.

    Yikes! I read the first one and thought bummer. I read the second one and went maybe????? Anyone else?

    I'm looking for stainless steel, under 8 inches tall, long reach, and sprayer.

    I've had a Blanco for almost two years, and it's been great - no problems whatsoever. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

    We have a Blanco, and it's been super. Had a problem with a very small leak when it was installed, and the customer service we got was incredible. I highly recommend.

    Love love my Blanco Purus, including the side sprayer. I almost spent 2.5x the price on a Dornbracht, and I've never regretted the decision.

    I've had the Blanco Modera for about 6 months and very happy with it. This model is too tall for you though.

    Oh, thanks so much. I'm glad that you all like your faucets. I'm so proud I finally bought my Ticor sink this morning. I waited to hear more about the faucet. So far, it looks like the Blanco. Anyone else for the Grohe?

    I had the same faucet you are showing for 7 years. A great
    faucet. I did not have any problems. I think it has a lifetime warranty.

    I am buying the Blanco Grace faucet for my new kitchen. The kitchen faucet supplier explained that Blanco faucets aren't as high quality as other faucets because Blanco pieces together parts from various places in order to keep a lower price point.

    I love my Blanco sink and doubt they would do faucets in a horrible quality due to reputational risks.

    I've no idea if he was pulling my leg or not. But I thought I'd pass it along...

    Anyone have the Blanco Chelsea faucet? If so, care to share your experience?

    Love my Blanco. It is gorgeous, works beautifully and feels very solid. It is a pull down model and the finish is satin nickel.

    I have a Blanco Harvest in Brushed Nickel. Love it.
