Kitchen Mixer Tap

Just wondered if anyone can recommend a decent kitchen mixer tap suitable for a low pressure system - looking to spend max of £60-£70.

I was quite interested in this one:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bristan-CSH-EFSNK-Easyfit-Kitchen/dp/B00PW3MNBY/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3STZX7KX5JTVR&keywords=bristan+kitchen+tap&qid=1643832385&sprefix=bristan+,aps,269&sr=8-3&th=1

However, some of the reviews about the Bristan Easyfit taps are not that good and also someone mentioned it is better to go for a conventional mixer tap rather than one with ceramic disc valves for a low pressure system.

The tap we currently have came with our Howdens kitchen and we have replaced both ceramic discs at about £20 each and a few months on the dripping has started again. The replacement discs probably cost more than the tap did when it was new.

Many thanks for any advice.

Stopped smoking 27/12/2007, but could start again at any time :eek:
