AM-PM Spirit V2.0 F70A02100

Not Germany at all

The AM-RM trademark is trying to pass itself off as an international European brand with German origin by putting appropriate price tags on its products. Meanwhile, the rights to TM belong to the Russian company from St. Petersburg Aquaart Group. The company's products are far from the original German taps Grohe, Hansgrohe and Kludi in terms of quality, as buyers refer to in their reviews, but it is worth noting the interesting design of the AM-PM tap models, which look very attractive.

Great design and long lasting cartridge

The AM-PM Spirit V2.0 F70A02100 washbasin tap differs from boring counterparts with an extraordinary futuristic design that immediately attracts attention. The angled body seems to lean forward, giving the impression of dynamic movement. The flowing transition lines into the spout, which has a jet height of 102 mm, support its top platform, which is not perfectly flat. On this slightly convex and curved surface is a check valve control lever that has fully earned the right to be called a joystick. Unlike traditional designs with one arm, it has a two-arm lever on the central rack. Such a joystick lends itself better to control with the palm of your hand, and not with your fingers, which takes some getting used to. The outlet of the spout has a hidden aerator that can be adjusted within 7°. The service life of the mixer claimed by the manufacturers, which can withstand 500K on / off cycles, rather indicates the quality of the ceramic cartridge.

Good but too expensive

Please note the non-standard diameter of the mounting hole, which is 32 mm, and the equipment of the device with flexible hoses 400 mm long with the European standard G 3/8 fastening nut thread, which can cause problems with connection in old houses. A solid 10-year tap warranty has a separate 5-year warranty on the cartridge and 2 years on other parts. Despite the fact that AM-PM designer sanitary ware looks good and is executed on a solid four, it is clear that the quality of the product is overrated. And even the long warranty period that the manufacturer gives for its products cannot affect the feeling that the brand's products have the right place in the middle price segment.
