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

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 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.

Great tap and really easy to install until we got to the water valve connections. We missed these sizes when purchasing and had to install new valves - bit of a pain but they should include these in the box as they don't fit the standard UK connections. For the price of the tap they should be included. All in all the tap is a great replacement and love the water flow and is nice upgrade to the kitchen sink.

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.

By far the best tap I have owned, a bit pricey but that's fine if the quality is there. solid, functional, not just pretty, easy to clean. Water does not splash all over the place on landing in the sink. Considering how often the tap is used daily, well worth it.

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).

Got the tap today, haven’t installed yet as the description of the product is not accurate. It’s polished, rather than brushed as described. Interestingly, some other hansgrohe kitchen taps are noted as “shiny” on Amazon. To me this is “shiny”, and brushed is equivalent to matt. Haven’t decided yet whether to return it or not, but the product didn’t meet expectations upon unboxing. Update. I changed the rating from 2 to 4 stars assuming it’s still a good quality product and the discount off MSRP is good, but the product itself is en route back to Amazon. I ordered a different model from stainless steel (Talis M54) hoping it won’t be “shiny” as described but proper brushed steel.

The tap was in perfect condition, box was a bit damaged but who cares? Works beautifully, easy to install and looks the business. Delivery took a few days, not beyond the promised timescale, seemed like a long time but that’s only because we get so used to near instant delivery from Amazon!

Solider Artikel, wertig verarbeitet.

Wekt prima , mijn oude kraan was defect . Door deze vervangen , en echt super goeie kraan . Heel tevreden over .

Compré un grifo barato de 40€ y nada más ponerlo perdía agua, así que me anime a éste de mejor calidad y la diferencia es bestial. Muy contento

Het voordeel van een kraan van een merk is dat het monteren en aansluiten in een bestaande situatie vlotter gaat dan bij sommige ongekende en goedkopere merken

Wir sind rundum zufrieden. Nachdem unsere zuvor eher günstige Armatur nach knapp 10 Jahren den Geist aufgegeben hat und im Prinzip schon eine ganze Weile kein Hingucker mehr war, wollten wir was ordentliches / uns hier nicht wegen 30-40 Euro Ersparnis nachher über irgendeinen Fehlkauf ärgern. Für mich relevante Punkte - durchweg positiv: + optisch echt schön / offensichtlich wertig - lässt sich bei recht kalkhaltigem Wasser bisher gut reinigen + gute Höhe, um darunter Töpfe / Pfannen / Spülschüsseln / Gieskannen zu positionieren, ohne immer die Armatur im Weg zu haben + einmal angeschraubt ist das Ding stabil mit der Spüle verbunden. Hatte im Vorfeld etwas Bedenken, dass die doch stabile / gewichtige Armatur aufgrund ihrer Höhe bei zu starkem Ziehen / Drehen an der Armatur aufgrund des Hebels der Spüle Gewalt antun könnte - das ist aber nicht der Fall. + dreht sich echt leichtgängig / angenehm Einzige gelernte Lektion beim Einbau: Man sollte sich bewusst sein, dass unterschiedliche Armaturen unterschiedliche Befestigungsmechanismen mit sich bringen. Die hier beschriebene Armatur hat nach unten raus ein Rohr mit Außengewinde, durch welches die Anschlüsse verlaufen. Das erwähnte Rohr muss folglich durch das Loch in der Spüle. Unsere alte Armatur hatte kein solches Rohr und hat lediglich die Anschlüsse/Schläuche durch das Loch in der Spüle gereicht, weshalb das vorhandene Loch zu klein für die neue Armatur war. Zum Glück konnten Freunde mit dem entsprechenden Werkzeug helfen. Es wäre jedoch naiv anzunehmen, dass man grundsätzlich jede Armatur durch jedes Loch kriegt bzw. sich hier mit einem "einfachen" Heimwerker-Werkzeugkasten selbst helfen kann. Wir hatten einen recht speziellen Metall-Bohrer mit entsprechenden Ausmaßen zur Hand, wovon in der Regel jedoch nicht auszugehen ist. Auch schien eine Metall-Feile bei entsprechender Ausdauer und Krach-Toleranz Erfolge bei der Erweiterung des Lochs zu erzielen (das dauert aber und macht echt Krach). Ob man mit den typischen Stanz-Werkzeugen (wie auch hier bei Amazon erhältlich) ein bestehendes Loch erweitern kann, ist mir nicht klar / hatte keins zur Hand. Alles in allem - eine super Armatur - würden wir jederzeit wieder kaufen. Der Plan, die in 30 Minuten zu installieren ist allerdings so nicht aufgegangen.
