Pull out kitchen tap - any good?

nodwah

i wanna get a swan necked pull out- hose kitchen tap - anyone think they're good or bad?

I was going to get the Ikea one but they've withdrawn them thru' problems then my friend today told me none of them are any good (don't know how she knows that!)

I was looking for something like this

thanks!

I have an Astracast which has a pull out and it's fine. I only use it to rinse around the bowl - they are fairly pointless to be honest but I like mine because it's pretty.

We had one put in another house (cheaper tap) and ended up having to change it. Something to do with the fact it pulled out meant that the water feed was going three ways (please don't ask - I have no idea) and the water pressure was affected that we just couldn't live with it and had to use the sink in the utility until the plumber came.

I had them in the states and used them all the time, wish they were as commonplace over here.

My d-i-l had one from Lidl a couple of years ago, about £14.99 I think, she finds it very useful and has had no trouble with it even though it was a relatively cheap one.

Should have any problems with it. Ive fitted quite a few and never had any call backs

It's probably not as stylish as the £200 one .

If you sign up to Lidl and Aldi newsletters you get them about a week before the offers start. Nothing in the latest ones I'm afraid.

Got mine from Wickes as part of fitted kitchen

Brings a slight touch of class to an otherwise basic kitchen, and great for cleaning worktop etc etc

£89 though!!!!
