Grohe or Aqualisa?

[BoBoo]

Okay, so I think I've got it down to either an Aqualisa Midas or a Grohe Euphoria. I think I slightly prefer how the Grohe looks, but know PigletJohn favours Aqualisa which is big plus points. How to choose??

Grohe products are better in my opinion. I have them in the kitchen, downstairs loo and family bathroom. Love them.

Ha! Did a double take as I thought this was a baby names thread

Me too CakeAche . I was trying to think of a nice way of saying please don't do this to your baby!

Put that down Aqualisa!

Thanks Sixties. Only thing swaying me to Aqualisa is that they're British and have a brass thingumy, which I think is a good thing. Will probably go with the Grohe though.

It got me in the baby names horror too! Must pay more attention.

I'm not keen on bar mixer showers. I've had the best results with the ones with the works in a round mixer with one or two big round knobs on the front, for example the Aquavalve.

I think you are wise to go for an exposed mixer. When it goes wrong you can undo a couple of nuts and connect in a new mixer (standard pipe spacing) with no drama and no bashing into walls. Be sure to get a shower mixing bracket that fixes to the wall and the pipes, then the shower connects to the bracket. It would cost about £15, and save you £200 of extra work later.

I see you like drencher heads. They use a vast amount of water so fill a bucket at your bathtap, time it, calculate how many litres per minute you get.

I've just installed that aqualisa, on cheap deal at plumb centre. I like it. Always had hangsgrohe before and it's quite good in comparison. Chose it as larger head than comparably priced grohe. My brothers a plumber and moans at crap. He approved of both.

Grohe is probably the best taps available. They are installed in most hotels throughout the world so definitely go for them!!
