Hansgrohe Metropol Single Bath Flush-Mounted with Lever Handle, matt Black Focus Kitchen tap 240 with Pull Out Spray and 150° Swivel Range, Chrome 31815000, Spout Height 240Mm

High quality tap, the stainless steel finish is really nice, it’s PVD coated finish but from what I’ve read it’s much better and easier to maintain that brushed stainless steel finish. This work great with our water pressure. We previously had a Hansgrohe tap and the pressure didn’t work well at all with that tap. There doesn’t seem to be resistance at all with this tap from our hot & cold supply feeding the tap, I actually had to down down the water pressure because the water was coming out so fast. The square L shaped spout looks great. The body of the tap is solid the handle great size and has a perfect resistance making it pleasant to use.

Thank you Amazon for supplying this tap at an affordable price - just! I agonised long and hard before ordering for 3 reasons. First the cost is high considering I don’t have a designer kitchen and it was to be fitted to a 25 year old stainless steel sink, second, the single lever is on the right and I am left handed and third, is that spray just a gimmick? I am thrilled to report that this tap is worth every penny! I wash up by hand and this tap makes the job so much easier with the spray set to aerate for the prewash rinse, this setting also produces a massive amount of bubbles from the washing up liquid, I use less than half. Though some reviewers said the tap could be the installed with the lever on the left my plumber installed it on the right because that allows a 150 degree swivel which I need for a 11/2 bowl sink. It is no problem because the tap sits so high there is no obstruction to reaching across and you can see the red/blue gauge for water temperature. It runs off a combi boiler and the pressure is fine. Whilst it was bought for practical reasons it is solid and the quality is evident so it doesn’t half smarten up the kitchen! It’ll be Hansgrohe for me from now on.

Already having a number of Hansgrohe taps in the house, we thought that this would prove a good replacement for a failing Adobe tap. We were not wrong. The tap is a delight to look at and to use. The smooth lines are a pleasure to touch, and the flow of water just right. Highly recommended at a very good price.

This will be a long feedback, but I feel worthwhile for a product that I would recommend. I searched for long enough to try and find a tap that has a tall swivel column, thereby reducing the forces applied to the internal sealing rings that the short column versions experience. These forces result in the failure of the sealing rings and the tap leaks around the swivel, which is unattractive and undesirable. This tap appears to fit the bill, but only time will tell if my theory is to be proven; it has a smooth lever operation (both for water flow and hot/cold mixing) and smooth swivel. The problem that I faced was that the tap is fitted with small bore hoses (and presumably small bore internals), which loses pressure and therefore on a hot supply with gravity feed head tank in the loft of a bungalow the flow of water was a trickle. I overcame this problem by installing a pump on the hot water supply, but this more than doubled the cost of replacing the old leaking Franke tap. One other problem was adapting the G3/8 female hose fittings to my 15mm copper supplies, which was achieved by using 15x10 compression straight couplings (the thread of the male part of the 10mm end matches the G3/8 female hose connection perfectly (parallel thread and face to face seals)). The price of the tap was great, especially when you consider that it came direct from Germany (Post paid!), and cheaper than the same item from any UK supplier that I tried. Delivery time was quite acceptable, perhaps slightly longer than some UK suppliers, but then for the additional price I would have expected next day before noon! So, in summary, for those with at least 1 bar water pressure this tap is recommended and for those with less than 1 bar, I would still recommend the tap and recommend that you install a pump (described as a Shower Pump).

We used to have a swan neck pull out Grohe tap that worked well, but - after 12 years - began to have problems with limescale. I found a similar looking Crosswater tap, but that failed after less than three months. This HansGrohe tap has just been fitted as a replacement, and I should have bought it first time around - the mixer tap action is smooth, the pull-out works well, the laminar flow of the tap (no splashes) is amazing. Very happy with my purchase - a bit more expensive, but you're definitely getting what you pay for.

This is a very sturdy tap and the look of it really suits my new kitchen. The spray function is very easy to operate, and the tap is high enough that I can easily put tall vessels beneath it, although the pull-out hose is also useful for filling taller items. I do have a slight problem in that the tap swivels back to the left too readily rather than stay in the position that I turn it to, but I suspect this is something to do with the way it has been installed and hopefully can be sorted out by my plumber. I do recommend this tap and I'm very glad I didn't go with the option recommended by my kitchen designer and which would have cost in excess of £400; I doubt that her recommendation would have been any better than this Hansgrohe tap.

Another vote for this excellent piece of German engineering. This tap has actually been DESIGNED - function and form married together perfectly. A joy to fit (unlike the sink!) and flawless in use from the start. My only observation is that I had to "guesstimate" the 7Nm of torque which should be applied to the screws below the large brass retaining nut (think 7 small apples and a 1m-long bar attached at right-angles to the screwdriver...). Brilliant idea, though - easily beats randomly tightening the nut with a spanner in a potentially confined space. It's a pleasure to use and I look forward to flawless service for many years. As already pointed out in others' comments, don't forget to order a pair of 3/8" male to 15mm compression fittings (assuming you have standard UK 15mm copper pipe).

I really like this tap! It feels well made and looks stunning. It is very shiny and modern looking. It does mark, but it is easy to restore the shine with a dry microfibre clothe. I read other reviews about needing certain fittings but they must be pretty common place as my plumber had what he needed with him. The spout swivels very easily. This tap is non splash. I love going to work with a dry jacket these days! I have been using it for about a month and have no problems to report. I would highly recommend this tap.

The tap looks great! The brushed stainless steel finish is exactly what I want. Very fast delivery.

Qualità ottima ad un prezzo molto inferiore rispetto a quello delle vendite a dettaglio.

très beau robinet de cuisine, de belle finition je recommande vivement

Très bien : ce mitigeur allie un bel esthétisme au caractère fonctionnel et au confort de la hauteur e 160 mn environ sous mitigeur . Je l'ai acheté en remplacement d'un mitigeur avec douchette de marque FRANKE et ce Hnagrohe s'adapte parfaitement aux caractéristiques de l'évier de marque FANKE également. Dépose de l'ancien et installation en une vingtaine de minutes au plus. Je le recommande naturellement en espérant que sa durée de vie soit aussi longue de l'ancien (presque 20 ans)

Bardzo dobry bateria, poprzednia wytrzymała 18 lat, (dokładnie taki sam model).
