Reviews

On the Internet you can find reviews that talk about the need for periodic replacement of the crane mesh.

This disadvantage can be called a feature of operation.

Some users complain that when turning on single-lever mixers, it is difficult to find a comfortable water temperature. As a rule, owners of inexpensive devices face such a problem. They have a temperature adjustment angle in the range of 6-8 degrees, and a comfortable temperature mode of water allows adjusting the adjustment angle within 12-15 degrees. Such adjustment is provided in more expensive models. In other words, the inability to quickly achieve the optimum temperature when turning on single-lever mixers SmartSant is the reverse side of the low price of the device.
