Why Did We Like It?
The primary attraction of this unit is its Nickel-brushed finish and metal body, which provides an elegant and classic look. Its two-handle design will allow you to have easy control over the hot and cold water flow. And the ceramic valves turn effortlessly to ensure smooth operation.
Besides, this model is designed for performance and can withstand the test of time. The drain stopper can easily be pulled up and down using a lifting rod. As a result, you can wash your hands quickly without having to touch the stopper.
Also, the drain mouth is attached directly to the sink basin, allowing all the water to drain completely. This will allow you to keep your bathroom cleaner and hygienic.
Moreover, the NSF-certified ceramic valves provide a dip-free performance that saves water and delivers long-lasting performance.
What Could've Been Better?
The bizarrely long outflow pipe is one of the significant drawbacks of this bathroom faucet. So, many users might need to cut its length using a hacksaw or similar tool accordingly. If the pipe doesn’t fit the sink area, the installation might become an issue. Hence, we would’ve preferred shorter-sized pipes for easy use.
Pros
- Metal build and brushed Nickel finish
- Easy to install and control
- Drip-free valve
- Smooth flow of water
- NSF-certified ceramic valves
Cons
- Long outflow pipe

Why Did We Like It?
This brushed nickel 2-handle sink faucet gives it an elegant look and makes it much easier to use as compared to other faucets. It also comes with an aerator that provides a restricted and non-splashing stream of water. Moreover, the rigorously tested cartridge avoids any leakages, otherwise found in older faucets.
We also found the installation much more manageable, and you do not need a plumber for the purpose. Just insert the faucet, tighten the nuts, connect and tighten the supply hoses, and you are ready to go. That's not all; the brass construction makes it corrosion and tarnish-free, thereby ensuring a long-service life.
The 2-Handle design offers better control over the flow of water. Plus, the drainage pipe and toggle stopper prevents the water from dripping. Hence, this faucet will provide you with good value for money.
What Could’ve Been Better?
Although the drain is easy to install, it has some issues that make it difficult to use over time. A plastic lip from the drainage assembly remains stuck above the basin and does not allow all the water to drain out. As a result, it may become unhygienic to use with a prolonged water deposit.
Pros
- Brushed nickel finish makes it corrosion-free
- Lead-free supply hose
- 2-lever handle for easy water adjustment
- Easy to install
Cons

What Could’ve Been Better?
While this elegant-looking sink faucet will add to beauty of your bathroom, it does not offer an option to control the water temperature. You might have to keep using the cold water, which comes out every time. Other than that, some customers have complained about small metal pieces sticking out from the bottom. It can damage the rugs and also cause injuries if users aren’t careful.

What Could've Been Better?
Although the bathroom faucets of Soka are durable, innovative, easily installable, and integrated with unique features, customers might find some of its aspects to be unnecessary or absent. Firstly, it does not come with a pull rod, and secondly, its drains are made of cheap plastic. Hence, you may need to purchase separate pull rods and drains.
Pros

- Facilitates high-performance aerated stream
- ABS sprayer for smooth flow of water

Bathroom Faucets Buying Guide
Bathroom faucets come with different styles, designs, features, and finishes to customize and decorate your space.
When selecting the right faucet for your bathroom, you need more than just looks that appeal to the eyes. You might get drawn towards a specific look, but it is crucial to think about its fittings, materials used, and handle type, to understand if it will fit your needs.
If you are looking to replace a leaky faucet, you might not have several options in hand. In such a case, you will just need to install a faucet similar to your previously installed one or one with more features but a similar design. On the other hand, if you are remodeling the bathroom and need a new faucet, you will have an infinite range of options when selecting the right bathroom faucet.
A long-lasting and corrosion-free faucet will be most important for your bathroom. In this regard, you should ensure that it is made from stainless steel or solid brass and features no-leakage ceramic disc cartridge valves.
Besides the material, the number of holes it requires for installation and where the faucet would be mounted will play an important role in its selection.
Also, visible parts like a spout, finish and handle also need to be taken care of during the selection process. But don’t get overwhelmed with these factors- our comprehensive buying guide will help you make a better decision.
1. Type
All bathroom sink faucets do not go well with every sink. For example, many houses have a small sink basin due to availability of small areas and would need a smaller faucet. That’s why faucets come with one-hole, centerset, or widespread design.
Centersets are for washbasins with three holes and handles separated by 4 inches, while single hole faucets have single or separate handles. On the other hand, vessels are taller faucets and come with single and multifunction handles.
2. Color And Finish
Color and finish of your faucet need to complement the rest of bathroom fixtures and accessories. For instance, a chrome-finished faucet fits better with classy and modern bathroom designs. Besides, they are available in various colors, including black, nickel, brass, stainless steel, copper, bronze, or gold.
3. Valve Construction
Every bathroom faucet has an inner valve installed, which controls the water coming through the sprouts. The quality and the inclusion of a washer determine its durability and reliability of a faucet. We feel that the best bathroom faucets are the ones that come with brass-base metal, brass, or corrosion-resistant workings.
4. Washer And Washerless Faucets
Compression-valve faucets are the ones that work through a stem, which moves up and down to pass the water. These kinds of faucets are pretty common in older homes and the washer tends to wear out gradually to avoid the complete shutdown of the water flow. But once that happens, the faucets start to drip water.
Washerless faucets, like ball faucets, have a rotating plastic or metal ball, which regulates the water intake. Besides, they reduce the likelihood of malfunction, as there’s only a single moving part. Cartridge faucets, on the other hand, use rubber O-rings for controlling water flow.
Likewise, ceramic disc faucets are maintenance-free and involve two ceramic discs that rotate in a shearing action to allow or block the water flow.
5. Control Options
A wide range of control options is available in the bathroom faucets, which can be selected on the basis of your needs. These include cross handles, knobs, joystick, lever handles or push–buttons, controls. Along with that, you have touch-activated or touchless models. These would not need you to use knobs or handles for controlling temperature or water flow and works well for users having accessibility issues.
6. Other Considerations
You can also explore other options in your bathroom faucets to make them look more beautiful and elegant. These can be decorative handle buttons, LED lights, integrated supply lines, or matching pop-up drains.
Along with these, you can add water-efficient designs to your faucet. Although some models are already WaterSense certified, you can customize your choice for saving more water and in turn money. Having a quality faucet that fits perfectly with your needs and requirements will make your life a lot better.
Bathroom Faucets Verdict
It is understandable that selecting the bathroom faucet from a huge collection can be a daunting task for you. We hope you have gone through the reviews and have gained a brief idea about what each of our recommendations have to offer.
So, among the options mentioned, we think that the WOWOW deck mount is the best bathroom faucet if you want to give an elegant and classic look to your bathroom without missing out on functionality.
You can also opt for the Phiestina bathroom sink faucet if you do not feel like calling a plumber for installation but still want to give a luxurious look to the bathroom. Ultimately it comes down to your needs and requirements. And remember that you will also need to look into your budget and bathroom décor for selecting an appropriate faucet.
That’s it from our side. Take care, and do not forget to tell us about your favorite from our list of options!
