Update on best quality kitchen mixer tap ?

[Anothernewboy]

Hi guys,
Our Franke kitchen tap has served us well for 19 years (!) but is showing signs of age.
Was looking to replace it with a ‘like for like’ but looking at the Screwfix reviews it looks like the Franke quality has gone down the pan over the years.
No doubt Chinese imports these days !
Any recommendations on the best brand to buy please, one that will last for more than a couple of years ?
Prepared to pay more or less what it takes to get the best quality, lots of names out there that I just don't recognise.
Thanks in advance for any help !

I recently replaced an old Franke mixer tap withe the latest Ascona model, the quality is much improved.

Never had any issues with Franke, it's my go-to sink tap brand

Just worth following up on this, I emailed Franke this morning to report an issue with a 4½ year old kitchen tap I fitted which has developed a drip, providing proof of purchase in my email. True to their advertised 5 year warranty, within an hour they had emailed back to say that they had dispatched a replacement tap cartridge to me free of charge, and it would be with me in 2-3 days. I really can't complain with that service at all.

Have to agree, would happily recommend Franke all day long.
