Many users like Jacob Delafon faucets. They talk about the beautiful appearance, design and excellent quality of products. I like the ability to insert a filter and get clean water. Jacob Delafon July faucets for the kitchen have even shapes and are concise. Their spout is tall and pivots.
But there are also negative reviews. Customers have complained that the shower to faucet switch stops working after a few months and gets stuck.
Handles respond quickly to water temperature. If it's hot, then you won't be able to hold the handle. It is advised to remove the handle, retainer and crane box, replace the thin gasket with a thicker one (3 mm). It is not clear why the manufacturer cannot immediately install a suitable gasket.
Some users find that Jacob Delafon faucets don't mix well and are noisy.
There are complaints that the aerator is rusting, the crane box is out of order. The cost of a new one reaches 1200 rubles, and it is not easy to find it in an online store.
