The $30 bathroom faucet that needs three hands to operate
I bought this modern looking faucet for my guest bathroom remodel, thinking the single lever was sleek. It cost about thirty bucks. The problem is the lever is directly under the spout, so you get your hand soaked turning it on. You have to hold the lever up with one hand while washing the other, or just accept wet sleeves. I installed it six months ago and guests still complain. Has anyone found a good looking faucet that doesn't have this dumb design flaw?

Tbh I read that same article Grace, the shallow sink thing is a total nightmare.

Saw a home design blog call that the "wet wrist special". They said it's a classic sign of prioritizing looks over function. Definitely learned my lesson about reading reviews first.

Ugh, tell me about it. I read this whole article about "designer sinks" that are way too shallow. It showed a picture of this gorgeous, super modern faucet. But the water stream hit like two inches from the back of the basin, so everything splashed out. They called it "form over function" too. It's like some companies forget people actually need to use the stuff.
