What are the best makes of kitchen taps

[R.Oak]

I know very little about this side of plumbing. What do you guys think are the better makers of kitchen taps. There are so many around im unsure which ones are best. Im looking for high quality taps without paying a fortune for them. Any advice would be great. Thanks

I've not had problems with bristan. Plus 5 year warranty for the customer.

Seconded,I always go with Bristan ,even at home,never had a problem but if you did ,you know customer services are first rate and parts will always be readily available in the future

Gone off Grohe stuff the last few years

IMO bristan stuff isn't as good as the price suggests , I had them out 3 times last year.( One bar mixer and two taps )

I like Franke and Bristan for kitchen taps

Bristan or franke. If you look on the Bristan website and find the product code of the item you like put the code into Google and I am sure you will find the item cheaper.

Beware of the Bristain easy fit taps talking to sales staff in Graham's today more reported pop offs

franke for me, generally I think if its quite a heavy tap and feels all nice and stiff and has good chrome plating then it is a good tap , don't know why I think this tho! haha

Taps these days are all pretty much shyte. Even the so called good brands. If you/they like the look and design of them buy them. They all work and when they start playing up bin them. We are in a throw away society.
