Grohe faucet

17 years ago

I'm looking at the Grohe faucets, either one of the Lady Lux series or the K4. Anybody have one of these faucets? What do you think about it? Thanks

    I have the lady lux cafe - I think it is great. I chose it over the lady lux plus because the spray button is under the nozzle so as it wears you will not see it. Also it is a pull down which is more convenient than a pull out . It looks great and has clean lines.The only drawback is that the spray function is manual in that it does not stay on unless you depress it and hold it.

    I have the K4. Although I do like the looks of it, the spray function is also manual on it and I get tired of switching from stream to spray. We have a deep sink and tend to get a lot of splashing from it also. Don't know if I would pick it again or not.

    I have the Grohe Ladylux Plus, #33.737. It functions beautifully. I really like my Grohe for several reasons:

    - I like that it is not an arch style; I wanted my faucet to extend over the sink by 6 or 7 inches so that I do not have to reach all the way across the sink to catch hold of the spray head the way I would if it were an arch style.

    - I like the shape - some of the Grohe's have a little knobby thing on the side that's not to my taste, but the 33.737 doesn't.

    - it doesn't splash.

    - I prefer its one-handle operation.

    Also, I prefer the Ladylux Plus to the Grohe Ladylux Cafe because the Cafe's spray button is a "hold and release" function, while the Ladylux Plus' spray button stays on spray without having to hold down the button, and then reverts automatically back to regular flow when you turn off the water.

    I have the all-chrome ("starlight chrome"), but I know some people on this forum have the stainless steel version (more expensive) and some have the version with the soft black rubber top which won't show fingerprints.

    HTH.

    I put the K4 prep faucet at my 21" x 16" prep sink. The sink is 10" deep and I do not have a problem with splashing. I think the prep sink faucet is plenty big enough for a main sink.

    Here's my faucet; I love the way it looks.

    I just realized that my link in my previous post was to the Ladylux version which is "Water Care". I believe that Grohe's "Water Care" faucets may be more water conserving, but it's not the one I have. Here's another link showing the 33.737 which is the one I have, although the pic in the link is showing the version with the black rubber head, and I have the all-chrome one.

    I have the K4. I didn't order the "Water Care" version but mine doesn't seem to have much power. Perhaps this is a function of my apartment building's water pressure and not of the faucet itself - hard to say. It looks great though.

    I also have a deep farm sink. Initially I had a lot of splashing but I've gotten used to using it in such a way as to minimize the splashing. That sounds far more difficult to do than it is - I think the splashing is more of a function of the lower sink than the faucet.

    We have a Grohe Bridgeford, which is similar, and also have alot of splashing into our deep sink. We get used to working around it (careful not to just pop the faucet on full without looking what it will splash on the sink)

    We put the Kohler promaster in the kitchen, but put Grohe in all the bathrooms and showers. I can vouch for Grohe...superb chrome, mechanics, smooth operation, just a very high quality product.

    Nothing but Grohe will ever cross the threshold into my house again.... Everything they do is top notch. Customer service is the best as well.
