Has anyone bought taps from tapwarehouse.com? They seem to have really good prices for taps. There's a few pull out taps that are sub £100 yet still have 5 years of warranty or more. This tap seems exceptionally good at only £142 (here) but it still comes with a 15 year warranty. Seems like it gotta be half decent if they're offering such a huge amount of warranty on it. Thoughts?

Yes, I have bought from tapwarehouse, but they sell a wide range of products.  

Your link goes to the full list for me, but the three that are £142 are all Crosswater and I rate Crosswater really highly.  Enough that every water outlet in our house apart from the kitchen sink is Crosswater!

We have the Grohe Minta and I don't know how I managed without it, so easy to rinse around the drainer now and the spray is great for washing salads.

Sorry, this is the correct link: https://www.tapwarehouse.com/p/cucina-cook-kit-mixer-spray-head-co714dc

I've never heard of Crosswater but sounds like it's a reliable brand. Fact that it comes with 15 years guarantee is also a very positive sign that it's going to be a reliable tap (as well as having long period of peace of mind).

From what I researched, I don't think the Grohe Minta has the same blade jet spray as the Grohe Lady Lux. Most kitchen taps only have two modes:

1. Normal flow mode
2. Spray mode (kind of like a shower head)

The Grohe Lady Lux has both of these modes plus a 3rd one that is kind of like a scaled down car pressure washer. It's a feature that I really like but I haven't seen this on any other tap.
