Hudson Reed Tec Lever Cloakroom Mono Basin Mixer Tap Dual Handle with Waste - Chrome

For £59 this is a good set of taps. I can be picky where the three screw on sections don't perfectly line up but hey I'm on a budget. Very easy to fit, the only thing I had to do was shorten the threaded rod to get a socket on it. What I'm not so keen on are the way the levers operate. The levers fit inside a tube which aren't a perfect fit. One side the operation was extremely easy, the other side was stiff and made a screeching sound on operation. On switching components around I managed to improve it to a satisfactory level, however after a few days use one lever is stiffening up. I have to unscrew the tube slightly to ease it off and it's fine. I'll leave it a while longer to see if I need to ask for any replacement parts as long as I don't need to send the whole tap back! A click clack waste came with it but I chose not to use it as it's impossible to clean out hairs from it. EDIT: I complaimed to the seller about the stiffness of the lever operation and was swiftly sent some replacement parts. I've managed to get the pair of levers working satisfactory but it is clear that the machining on these taps are not as precise as they should be. Another point is the lack of a rubber seal between the tap and the ring base - water does leak through the joint. Also the screw that holds down the spout is slotted rather than hexagon so you have zero chance of adding or removing the spout with the tap in-situ

Beautiful stylish product with silky smooth operation. Feels heavy and substantial. Only lacks a proper seal between the stem of the tap and the rubber footed collar so a dab of silicone sealant is required. No problem though. Love it.

Good product
