In our practical test, the LEODERA fitting exceeded all expectations and completely fulfilled the manufacturer’s advertising promises.
No leaks or moisture problems occurred during the leak test . The tap remained absolutely dry after the test, with no signs of moisture or dripping at the connections or spout.
The lever movedeasily and smoothly in all directions , regardless of the water temperature and pressure. This enables effortless and precise control of the water flow.
The water jet emerged evenly and without splashing at all pressure levels tested. The jet shape remained clear and defined, without irregularities or turbulence. The water jet quality therefore left nothing to be desired and contributed to a pleasant user experience.
The ease of cleaning the mixer tap was particularly positive. The surfaces were extremely easy to clean and left no stains or residue after cleaning. Even after several days of use, the surfaces remained spotless without any additional cleaning measures.
No scratches or fingerprints were found during the visual inspection. The matt surface proved to be very resistant and easy to clean. All fingerprints could be easily removed, so that the mixer tap will look like new in the long term.
To summarise, the black bathroom tap from LEODERA not only offers an aesthetically pleasing design, but also impresses with its robust quality and ease of use. The end user can look forward to a high-quality product that leaves nothing to be desired in terms of functionality and ease of care.
