*The maximum score is 100 points

On the manufacturer’s website, the Susara bath mixer from Bächlein receives an average of 4.6 stars in customer reviews. One point of criticism is that some customers complain about the volume of the water jet. However, many consumers appreciate the reliable function of the single-lever mixer tap, which enables silky-smooth opening and closing thanks to the built-in ceramic cartridge. The innovative aerator is also praised for its aerated spray quality and optimized limescale protection. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that installation is easy thanks to the installation set supplied. The quality of the materials and the accuracy of fit of the components were particularly good.

Prices of up to €150 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products of this quality and scope of delivery. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €72. With a price of € 74.95, the Susara bath mixer is therefore currently in the lower price segment. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
