Disclaimer: I know nothing about taps.
Is it good? it's a tap.
Is it cheap? it's discounted by $150 from the initial price.
Was the original price good? I don't know, it's a tap.
Why should I buy it? Maybe you need this as part of your international tap collection.
Is there some advertising blurb that can tell me more? Yes:

Bring an elegant sophistication to your kitchen with the Veronini Sink Mixer. With a solid DR Brass construction, and durable plated finish, make this Mixer the focal point of your kitchen. The Mixer features timeless etching on both the handle and aerator, allowing Italian design to add a classy, yet practical touch to your every day.
This premium kitchen mixer is made with solid DR brass construction and is available in modern electroplated Matte Black or Chrome finishes. The cartridge is of the “ceramic disc” style, and 25mm in size. The spout has a 360 deg rotation for complete functionality. Included in the box is 1 x mixer tap, 2 x flex hoses, installation & cleaning instructions and warranty information.

    $59.49 with PTCH15 on ebay

    for identical looking tap

    • King Steuart on 14/03/2022 - 13:22

      Taps are only identical looking if the inside is identical otherwise it's ridiculously likely that it's filled with cheap parts that will break after 1-2 years

    What is it? Oh it's a tap.

    I was googling to see if this tap is any good and came across this other Ozbargain post (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/643195) and subsequent Lead in Aldi sold taps concern (https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/retail/a-kitchen-ta…)

    It does appear to be a different tap, but it was enough to make me hesitate for now. I pretty ignorant on the subject but wanted to pass along my "research". I'm happy to hear from others who may be more informed than myself.

      I came here to say “caveat emptor” re: lead from ALDI taps.

    Whether it's a bargain or not @ $99 is always difficult to discern with own-brands. But the original price sure isn't a bargain - a well established brand tap can be had any day of the week for $250.

    • alidli on 14/03/2022 - 14:37

      That's probably made in the same factory as the $99 one.

    "With a solid DR Brass construction, and durable plated finish, make this Mixer the focal point of your kitchen."
    With such shoddy sentence structure, how could I trust the build quality of this tap?

    For what it's worth, I recently replaced our kitchen tap with this one that is somewhat similar and a fifth of the original price of this one, and it goes great.

    • Bunsen on 14/03/2022 - 17:32

      does it swivel or it's fixed?

      i need a new mixer tap for the laundry tub.

        It swivels :)

  • FloatingPoint on 14/03/2022 - 11:17

    I don't have any experience on this tap but apparently this is made in Italy.
    With this price range I don't think you will find anything else that is not made in China. It's up to you if you want to compare this to the Bunnings or eBay stuff.

    • WatchNerd on 14/03/2022 - 11:20

      Are Italians known for making the best taps?

      • FloatingPoint on 14/03/2022 - 11:22
        +2

        Probably not, but may have a lower chance of lead intake compared to Chinese made.

      • werty98 on 14/03/2022 - 13:02

        An Italian with only 1 year warranty is probably worse than some Chinese.

        Have a look on reece.com.au, European made tap must have at least 10 year warranty.

        • FloatingPoint on 14/03/2022 - 15:24

          Hence I said "With this price range".
          Some of the Reece stuff are asking for >10 times the price as well so not a fair comparison

        Mario and Luigi are Italian… so yes?

      • George Washington on 14/03/2022 - 15:53

        Italians make pasta and supercars?

    The lead issue related to a different tap and it turned out that the testing that found an issue was infact flawed…

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-07-26/aldi-confirms-tapware…

    We had a tap that retailed over $600 that developed a leak. I couldn't get a replacement cartridge apart from importing one from Italy at an equally stupid price so I bought an ALDI tap as a replacement. Since then we installed an outdoor kitchen and I bought another ALDI tap.

    These are both decent taps, operate smoothly and they don't leak. If it turns out that the cartridges are hard to get then they will be replaced by something like this one linked above. At the price it will be good value.

    I like the knurled ends - telecaster style.

  • mikmac on 14/03/2022 - 14:52

    Although I'm not associated, I can confirm that the supplier of these taps is an Australian company that mainly specialises in high end tapware. These specific taps are Italian made taps and cartridges also. Generally speaking, they are better quality then most taps made in China.

    Also, in reference to the lead issues, that was the previous supplier that was found to be selling low grade taps and hence the change to the he current Aus suppler.

    • danishcookie on 14/03/2022 - 17:52

      complete noob here, does it swivel? tx

      • Muzeeb on 14/03/2022 - 17:55

          Thank you, does this do hot and cold before I pull the trigger?

              @Muzeeb: One last question: would this still work as a sauce dispenser tap?

              • Muzeeb on 15/03/2022 - 13:35
                +1

                @[Deactivated]: Of course. But only sriracha sauce when you select hot.

    These are distributed by Linsol and are cheap because of the 1 year warranty

    For comparison, Linsol's other mixers have warranties between 5-25 years

    At this price point, get a mixer from IKEA with a 10 year warranty and a high likelihood they will look after you if there are any issues
