GROHE 30189000 | Ambi Kitchen Tap

Absolutely great. Looks really smart and straight forward to install. About 90 minutes to remove old and fit new for a DIYer due to kitchen sinks being so damn awkward! My son held the tap in place so I could fit all the bits underneath. I chose due to Which review liking the brand and I’m glad I did!

My old kitchen mixer tap had starting dripping quite badly after only a few years. I thought it would probably be cheaper to buy a new tap than get someone in to fix the old one, so I decided to spend more money this time in the hope that the new one would last longer.I'm not great at DIY, but if something can just replace the old one without pipe cutting etc., I'll give it a go.The only tools I needed were an adjustable wrench to undo the nuts to the water supply (couldn't find a spanner that fit in my tool kit) and a box spanner which I had from last time I did this (generally less than a tenner from Amazon). The box spanner is a sort of extended spanner which allows you to undo the main nut behind the sink which holds the tap in place (and do up the nut on the new tap). You might need some PTFE tape to save leakage on the nuts.First thing was to turn off the water at the stopcock.I had to remove the sink waste pipes as they were in the way - I did a 'fly-by' video on my phone of the under-sink set-up before I started. This can be useful when you're putting things back together. I took some time to clean out the waste pipes as they were full of detritus.It's a good idea to put some bowls and towels down to catch spillages.Surprisingly, things went very smoothly - it mentions on the item description that adapters are need to join onto the water pipes, but I didn't need them. When you attach the tap to the sink, you can't see what you're doing, but it was fairly straightforward anyway. The instructions weren't great. A diagram seemed to refer to a collar that I didn't have, so I wondered if the instructions were for a different tap - but it didn't seem to matter.Once installed, the tap looks great. The spout rotates very easily, as do the levers which turn on the water - I like that, as if your hands are dirty, you just need to nudge them to turn the water on.So, very pleased overall - I hope it lasts.

Our kitchen tap failed after only two years in our new build home so we wanted to find a more reliable tap.After lots of searching and reading reviews we bought the GROHE Ambi QuickFix - Two-Handle Kitchen Sink Mixer Tap, and very glad we did. It looks like a quality tap, our plumber was very impressed with both the quality and how easy it was to fit.

I don't know who was more pleased with these taps, me or my plumber. He said they were great quality and easy to install. I was happy with the price and they look and feel really lovely quality. Easy to keep clean in my busy kitchen. I'm happy to recommend this set of taps and will replace the utility room taps with these same taps.

It's a very solid and attractive tap, tall enough to fill and rinse deep pots, which is a big bonus in our fairly small sink. We found it slightly wobbly at first, so the plumber installed a tap hole stabilizer (about £3) which did the trick. The hoses supplied also required adapters, which wasn't clear in the instructions. The operation is very smooth, and the handles line up well. It's only just been installed, so can't comment on long-term use, but it seemed to be an excellent price for a good quality tap.

Grohe still the best ,Stylish and made to last..

Excellent tap nice and solid with smooth spout and handles. Excellent with low pressure hot water.

Having struggled to remove Franke (Carron Phoenix) tap that had always had issues, replacing with the Grohe was straightforward. The tap has a premium feel and I think is excellent value - particularly as it cost significantly less than the Franke.
