Danze D100353 Melrose Two Handle Laundry Faucet with Wristblade Handles and Hose Thread Spout, Chrome

Last winter I froze the utility faucet in my garage when the heater went out. It was actually a Danze brand faucet. I replaced the cartridges that split but it still leaked around the water pipe connections on the bottom where there were actually small cracks.So I set out on a Saturday on a mission to replace all the lines, shut off valves, and faucet. I found everything but the faucet. The faucets at the home centers are all just complete junk. I'm talking garbage, I wouldn't install them and leave for a night out fearing the things would break in half from the water pressure.Naturally my next stop was Amazon to see what they had. I was relieved when I found others that had similar issues. Do a search and you will see multiple high quality utility faucets on Amazon.I chose the Danze as that is what I had and it was good quality. I also liked how far it sticks out as it is longer than others. The only thing that is questionable is the plastic mixing chamber. My old one was a brass piece that was cast.A little installation tip, take the aerator off during the installation and flush everything with water before you put it back on. I had some debris from the installation that got stuck in the aerator and can't easily be removed. No big deal but just remove it before the install if you can.Like others have mentioned, this come with both an aerator and a garden hose connection. The product is made in China but carries a lifetime warranty.

I was looking for a new faucet with paddle type handles for my utility sink in my laundry room. The existing faucet had the round metal type that grew increasingly difficult to grab and shut off all the way. Anyway, I purchased this set and was impressed with it right out of the box. It’s heavy weight, came with all the parts and clear instructions. I’m a 50yr old woman - kind of handy for a chick - and installed it myself. It was super easy. I’ve been using the faucet for a few months now and I love it! The only thing I’m upset about is that I didn’t do it sooner. Very nice product at a very good price.

Purchased for use on a utility sink in my garage. Faucet comes with two aerators; one of which has hose threading so you can hook a garden hose to the faucet. I've had it in use for about a month now, and have been very pleased with it.Positives: - level handles are easy to operate, particularly when your hands are greasy / slippery. - Excellent water throughput, good flow. - Easy installationNegatives: - Handles are easily moved, if you bump them it's easy to change the settings quicklyOverall, would recommend this to others.

I had a major basement makeover and bought this faucet to put on the new laundry tub. My plumber questioned my decision Only because he wasn't familiar with it. I wanted one that could adapt to a garden hose if the need arises as well as one with the paddle handles to make it easier to operate with my elbows when my hands are covered with paint or grease. The price was great and although it hasn't been given a lot of tests yet, I like it.

I'd give this 5 stars, but it's made in china. Didn't realize that when I ordered it... But after only a month's use, I have no complaints and am really happy that I bought a faucet with the wristblade handles! If you've never had these handles on a faucet, try them, I'm sure you'll love them! Just like ball valves in you plumbing lines, a quarter turn gives you full on/off!!!To make this faucet accept a garden hose, simply R/R the aerator that is currently installed on the faucet. The instruction claim that a wrench is supplied, but I didn't see one, and you really shouldn't need one. And don't freak out that the instructions don't illustrate the faucet you purchased; they're rather generic. AND who reads instructions??? LOL

Good faucet, no issues installing it or using it. Handle shape is a good design for a laundry/utility sink and very easy to open without having to use your fingers to grip them. This is very useful when your hands are dirty from working on your car or what not.The only complaint is that the flow gradient from closed to fully open position is very steep. These are 90 degree valves and when opening them they go to full flow in about 45 degrees.

Really nice faucet for the money, better than any home center product I've seen. The large handles are perfect size for turning off & on when hands are grubby.My one beef however, not having to do with the product...I wish Amazon had more stable prices as I paid $56 and now its down to $50.about a month later, price protection would be nice.

This is a very well made and attractive faucet. I give it 3 stars because the description says it adapts to a hose fitting. This is in my laundry room and I attach a sprayer for the dogs baths. This does not adapt to a garden hose fitting even though the description leads you to believe it does. The faucet outside threads are 3/4 inch, the hose attachment is 1 1/4 inches. Have to make a trip to Home Depot and see if I can get an adapter.

Great product and company.Well made with quality materials.

I'm a builder and I bought ten of these to integrate into our second floor laundry sinks. Turns out when they are mounted to the countertop or sink deck and tightened into place, they are unable to turn on because the knobs rub tightly against the base of the faucet.The solution of course is to pop off the hot and cold labels on the knobs, remove the screw to take the knob off, place a spacer or small enough washer (not included) then put back the screw, and put back on the knob and labels. Now your knob can move. Not good for builder, typically a plumber should just install the faucet by tying in the plumbing lines and mounting the thing, not wasting his time fixing it.This was not designed properly, but it does look good and sturdy in person. Once you know about the solution above, it should be a good faucet.I give it three stars because it was economical and looks good for the end purpose, but I may look for alternatives in the future as I need fixtures that are easy to install.
