Our Grohe bathroom fixtures and bathroom renovation was completed in early 2015 and it's now almost 2019. Time flies and who would have thought we have gotten rock solid reliability and continuous compliments from a 4 years old renovation. Our Grohe 19822000 fixture has supplied 4 people with reliable bath and shower facilities on a 24x7, 365 basis and we have neither issues or complaints so far. If you are contemplating a bath renovation my vote is for any of the Grohe thermostatic fixture offerings with the Starlight finish. Simple wipe with a damp cloth is all that's needed to keep all the Grohe fixtures pristine.
