Kraus Millennium Vessel Filler Bathroom Faucet

I love, love, love the looks of this faucet. It was love at first sight. It has an incredible WOW factor! Our decorating tastes are modern/minimalist with an Asian flair and this faucet fit the bill perfectly. It is very heavy and substantial. BUT.......it splashes A LOT. We had it in the guest bath so felt like it would be OK. (Even though each time guests left we had to do a thorough cleanup due to splashing). When we did some renovation on our master bath and had to use the faucet on a daily basis......we couldn't wait to replace it. (Our metal vessel sink is 6" tall, 16" in diameter with a 1" thick side wall. Perhaps another type of sink would have made a difference)? There is no aerator on the faucet opening so I even called Kraus to see if they might be able to supply one, hoping that would reduce the splashing. They could not, and we tried to find some type of mesh we could install that might help, but to no avail. (We also wondered if the fact the water has an upward and then horizontal path to follow prior to a downward flow might have something to do with it)? So after having it installed for a year we finally bit the bullet and replaced it. :-( There is no way our new faucet looks as sharp as this one, but....it functions perfectly. So, esthetically I would highly recommend it, but functionally would not recommend.

These fixtures are so modern and sleek. They match perfectly with my oversized vessel sinks and recycled glass/cement countertops. My plumber and contractor initially had a fit when they saw how unusual they are, thinking it would be difficult to install. Instead, they realized how simple it was and noted the extreme quality of the fixtures. These are very heavy brass fixtures with excellent polished chrome, not like those you would get at your local home improvement store and for less. My only problem has been having to show guests how to turn them on! My bathroom is truly unique.

Overall I'm happy with the faucet so far. It has a unique look to it, and looks really nice with the bowl sink. Functionally, I have a couple nits. 1) it splatters a bit when you turn it off and it empties out the long neck of water. Not a huge amount, but enough to get your counter wet. So when you install, you might consider putting it really close to the edge of the bowl to minimize the splatter. 2) the instructions by default have the hot water setting when the handle is in the "up" position... Which i think is the more typical "off" position (and what's pictured here). We ended up reversing the hot & cold connection. 3) the water comes out well. Somewhat similar to normal faucets, but a little wider. If you're hoping for more of a waterfall or watersheet flow sort of thing, this won't give that to you. despite these issue, so far I still like it.
