You can always get discounts. Anyway, for these stuff, I prefer to pay a little more for quality stuff that lasts, rather than a couple of years later, tap leak or movement get stiff or chrome start to tarnish or peel.I'd say between Grohe, Hansgrohe and Toto, they are reliable. Searching for discussions here will reveal that some prefer G to HG and others prefer HG to G. My view? Can choose based on which design you like. Either one will serve you well. Both have some manufacturing in China. You can ask them if you prefer to stay away from the China ones.I think Toto is good value stuff too. But if you can't get over the association with public toilets, then don't get it lor. But what better test of reliability? Should also be less expensive than G or HG.Bravat - never heard of it, so sorry, no comment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strikingreality 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2011 The reason Grohe is cheaper is because it is made in China. That's what my designer told me.Your designer has not gotten his/her facts right. Grohe does not have a factory in China. Grohe has a Made in Thailand (The Bau range), Assembled in Thailand (The Euro range) and a Made in Germany (everything else) range. The Thailand-made range is obviously cheaper.Hansgrohe has a China factory, hence they have a Made in China and Made in Germany range.Kohler as well has a China factory.
