Hansgrohe Focus E2 31806000

Design and quality

A special feature of the Hansgrohe Focus E2 31806 kitchen faucet is a low swivel spout with 360 ° free rotation, located at a slight angle to the body, and a traditional single-lever joystick located on top. The solid weight of the massive case of the device does not raise any doubts that it is made of real brass and will not crack after a few months. The discreet but practical design and high surface finish deserve special praise. The model has two versions: polished chrome and brushed stainless steel. The choice is up to your aesthetic preferences, but keep in mind that the matte surface is more easily soiled and marks are more likely to remain on it.

Design and service features

The precise dimensions of each element of the faucet provide a balance between ease of operation, freedom of action and reduced water splashing. The jet height of this model is 155 mm, which allows you to wash multi-liter dishes only in sufficiently deep sinks. The built-in AirPower aerator reduces water consumption by up to 12 L/min, while the QuickClean technology for instant cleaning of limescale that accumulates in the aerator area makes it possible to easily deal with blockages in the water flow with a flick of the wrist. It is based on the use of soft but durable silicone storage inserts, from which plaque is much easier to remove than from a hard metal surface.

Quality assurance and installation flaws

High-quality assembly without backlash with a soft stroke of the control lever and successful ergonomics of the device meet the expectations of a well-known brand product. The warranty period for this mixer model is 5 years, but with proper care it will last at least three times longer. And everything would be fine if the impression was not spoiled by flaws in the configuration. The faucet comes with flexible hoses with 3/8 inch threads, which can cause installation difficulties and require adapters that will have to be purchased separately.
