*** Conclusion
* American Standard's "Reliant 3 [inch high] Centerset Lavatory Set" is a remarkably beautiful piece of furniture that handsomely upgrades the look of an ordinary bathroom. I don't know how to say it anymore simpler without giving anyone the impression that I'm that kind of man who fusses over trivial things like bathroom fixtures.
The "Centerset" is a one-piece faucet where a single handle controls both the cold/hot water dispenser as well as the water pressure. However it doesn't end there. This, as I'd come to find out, is only half of the set. The other half of the set is a unique drainage piece that attaches to the molding just underneath the sink. The extra piece replaces the standard bar that lift and closes the drainage.
One of the things I also like about this other than the fact that this beautiful Chrome faucet is quite heavy to hold on it's own is that the set is almost thoroughly made from a heavy weight steel. I've never replaced a faucet set before and was really unaware at how fast the parts--the cheap set that comes installed from your home-builder--cracks and deteriorates. (see picture images from video). It took a couple of days and $25 later to have a handyman and his tools pry apart that cheap p.c.b. screws and washers that fixes the faucet to the face bowl. After removing the corroded pieces, installation was about 30 minutes from start to finish.
** Working in retail for more than two decades I can confidently tell you that quality is the cheapest thing you can buy. This is certainly true with this product. Having the standard faucet set right next to the American Standard is like an old Ford Pinto parked next to Lexus. There's just no legitimate comparison. The set runs, as of this review, at $65 here on Amazon. This is a very good price for the set. It is a great investment that will save you money over time when considering the replacement cost, labor and traveling expense to your local Home Depot. Plus it upgrades the look of your bathroom. You really don't get the sense of it by just looking at the picture of the set, you first have to look at what you have now. Turn on and off the faucet. Then do the same with this unit. You'll see an immediate difference in the look and feel of your bathroom.
There is a downside, however. Once the lady comes over and see it, she'll now want you to change everything in the bathroom like money grows on trees. I don't know what'll be cheaper re-doing the bathroom or building an outhouse and telling your lady, "We're going green!"
*** If you own a home and you need to change the faucet set in a bathroom, especially if it's in the Master bedroom or a Guest bedroom, then American Standard's "Reliant Centerset Lavatory Set" is a phenomenal buy. Five gargantuan stars.
