HapilifeKitchen Sink Mixer Tap Single Lever Monobloc Polished Chrome Mixers Taps 1 Hole Swan Neck Modern 360° Swivel Spout Mono Faucet with UK Standard Fittings

Many years ago the first ceramic insert taps or faucets came onto the market with an eye watering bang. They promised perfect smooth useage and no leaks plus the ability to design much more funky taps.But the cost. Oh. My. God. The cost. I remember pulling open my wallet and shelling out the thick end of two hundre quid for a fancy sounding tap that She Who Must Be Obeyed wanted with tears in my eyes.Fast forward a few years and you can get a half decent looking tap with a cermic tap insert for less than twenty quid. This one was less than thirty quid for goodness sake. So cheap its not even worth worrying about fixing a tap when it leaks.Which is the slight negative because when the old rubber seating taps leaked you simply spent 2p and changed the rubber. When the cermic tap fails chances are the easiest and cheapest solution is to replace the entire unit which isn't very environmental.Anyway, after four years of kitchen use my previous tap started to drip and rather than let it go because I work overseas I changed it ASAP. It was almost identical to this one and if I was to guess probably made in the same factory in China. So roughly you could say this should give about four to five years of uninterupted service as a guide.Build quality is pretty good to be honest. Seals are well made and the overall feel is hefty with the lever giving a smooth action.You get all the fittings needed included to fit to a standard 15mm ball isolating valve or fitting which adds to the value.To fit is simple and I took about ten minutes from start to finish. I am a marine engineer so used to messing around with pipework but I doubt that even a complete newbie would struggle for much more than 20 minutes to change out this tap.Value is outstanding. Really. Effectively, this sould cost you less than four or five quid a year if it lasts as long as my last one.Looks are subjective but I like this simple, clean modern look. Its also high enough to allow you to fill a water jug or kettle easily.Overall this is hard to knock because its so well made for so little money.

Excellent tap at a great price easy to fit and looks good

I ended up purchasing this item because I could not install the more sophisticated ones because of limited space under the sink. This model is simple but sturdy. It is quite easy to install, without small pieces to fiddle with in the limit space under the sink. While it does not have any of the "frills" (swivel spout, pull out, or replaceable head), it does the job and it looks great. And the price is good too. Great value!

The Hapilife Single Lever Swivel Spout Kitchen Tap is fantastic! It has a sleek, modern design that fits perfectly in my kitchen, and the swivel spout makes it super convenient for reaching all areas of the sink. The single lever is smooth and easy to control for precise temperature and flow adjustments. Installation was straightforward with the UK standard fittings, and the 10-year warranty gives me confidence in its durability. Great value for a stylish, high-quality tap—highly recommend!

Bought a cheap tap to replace a leaking one. It was a pretty easy install and at first all seemed well. However a few months in the pivot started to show a little leak. As it has been swiviled a lot, including by a 7 year old I just assumed it needed tightening a bit. I did this 4-5 times in the last 3 months. Yesterday I noticed a drip from under the handle and it appears the no leak design has failed and is leaking badly. I have no choice but to remove and replace the whole tap. Cannot and would not recomend this tap to anyone looking for a long term solution!

Purchased and fitted just over 12 months ago and still working well. Very pleased with the style, design and function off the tap after having seen a similar style tap at an international hotel chain suite. Quality seems fine and haven’t experienced any problems.

I first thought it was a good deal (bought it in September 23) but then realised it was a cheap made tap sink.It has been leaking for a month now and since it states that it is covered under 10 years warranty, I have contacted the support to see if they can replace it or whatever as it's costing me far more than what I expected to!!!

The media could not be loaded. Great quality, easy install, works well and looks great and bargain price. I have bought a few of these taps now and really happy with them all. I like these taps too because they can be easily stripped down for cleaning if required when in hard water areas
