The faucets are popular goods in the plumbing market. They are produced by domestic factories, Chinese factories, large and small European companies, as well as firms in other parts of the world. We buy some types of mixers because they are cheap. Moreover, there are specific brands that specialize in budget plumbing, and there are brands that are popular due to their quality and design.
Trading brands of mixers that are in special demand in Russia only partially intersects with a list of world market leaders. First of all, because domestic consumers most often buy cheap faucets of such brands as Vidima or Smartsant. If Russians choose middle -class brands, they buy Gustavsberg, Mora, Grohe and Kohler. All these brands, with the exception of Kohler, are European. The world market agrees with us only in choosing Kohler and Grohe.
You can buy faucets in Rostov-on-Don or in another region of Russia. All those brands that are popular abroad are brought to us, but the domestic buyer still chooses what is closer to him. And he is closest to the goods of economy-cathegors, therefore, he chooses the Bulgarian brand visible, the Russian brand smartsant or zent, as well as a number of Swiss, German or Chinese nonsense.
The world market also prefers European brands, but already the best status. For example, the German brand Grohe has established itself durability, technological and design, therefore it began to be in demand among practical and modern buyers. In some cases, Gustavsberg enters the top of world leaders.
It is believed that the American brand Kohler constantly sets the standards of the quality and style of mixers in the market around the world, and the products of this brand are in the top of the best available goods.
Another popular world brand is Moen (also American). It has become popular thanks to the unique constructions of plumbing (including mixers) and a guarantee of quality for your product. Another American brand Delta has become popular thanks to customer reviews, and the mixers of the California brand Pfister are considered the most stylish in the market.
If we compare the overall style of the chosen mixers, then the Russian consumer (as well as people from South America and a number of Asia and European countries) chooses very simple models, and Americans, most Europeans, Canadians, Australians, Japanese and, in some cases, people living in Asian countries, choose complex models of mixers. These are stylish and functional mixers; As a rule, rotary, large, durable; Sometimes with a thermostat.
By the way, if you look at the top sales top in the category of mixers on different world sites, you can see that matte models are popular, and in Russian stores – brilliant glossy. In addition, the most popular world models are very durable – they externally create the impression of a powerful element of plumbing, and in reality they are made and good and strong material. In Russia, people choose the mixer as an accessory for plumbing, and not a full -fledged element of plumbing. This explains why small, compact models are selected, designed to organically merge with a sink or sink.
