This tap has elegant looks and is very functional. Controlling water flow takes a little getting used and if you want to avoid splashing you will want to to turn the tap on gently. Controlling the temperature is easy and the pull out hose is absolutely wonderful. It sits well above the sink and provides good clearance for even larger pots. The tap head turns very smoothly from side to side allowing one to have easy unobstructed access to the sink. Overall very happy with this tap.
